    Gods I cannot wait for her to lose, she’s a POS through and through, Dems need a better candidate.

      I think she’s an awful choice tactically and have little hope for what her administration would do - but I’ll still vote for her if her name is on the ticket.

      I find that in general when people say shit like this, without elaborating, they generally don’t have a solid idea why they think that. Is that the case for you or do you have actual reasons for saying this?

        She began on a progressive platform with a side of identity politics. She sold out her progressive platform during the campaign to position herself for, then secure the VP nomination.

        But, we don’t need specifics to be certain any given US federal politician is absolute trash. They’re all elected on corporate money.

        Ideologically, she’s a corporate shill that incarcerated thousands of people for minor posessions and then claimed to be against such policies while never offering any amnesty or apology. Politically I have major disagreeances with both parties platforms. Socially, I think Harris leads to some Republican bullshit scheme.

        Also, to everyone that keeps trying to gaslight America. EVERYONE HATES HARRIS, SHE WILL DRIVE AWAY ON THE FENCE VOTERS AND YOUNGER APATHETIC VOTERS.

          She did her job and applied the law as it was, she wasn’t the one who had the power to change those laws, the people chose to elect people who didn’t change them.

        I’m eager for dems to see we won’t put up with trash anymore. No more slightly better republicans, we deserve better.

          The unfortunate truth is that that’s not an option. We get either a Republican, or a slightly better Republican. We need to put in a lot of groundwork to open the doors for any other options, and we’re just not there yet.

            It’s either Trump, slightly older Trump, or Woman Trump, I’ll just write in Bernie.

              The fact that you’re both-sides-ing this is enough for me to bow out. Biden and Harris are nowhere near the level of evil that Trump is. Enjoy wasting your vote. I’m out.

          Ah, so you sorta tried to answer this question. But it boils down to “because things”, mainly. Or rather ONE thing exactly. I’d bet that is the sum total of your actual knowledge of Harris’ history.

          Like take this sentence: “Socially, I think Harris leads to some Republican bullshit scheme.”

          What? What does that actually mean?

            Harris cannot win, Harris will not win this election. If she is the nominated candidate all it leads to is Republican bullshit and a win.

                Yes, because of many reasons, with the big one being she’s incredibly umpopular and will drive people away.

                  Yes but WHAT REASONS SPECIFICALLY?

                  Y’all so far are just repeating the same thing assuming nobody will notice that “reasons” is so far only one “reason” and not a great one at that. Somebody remind me the name of this cognitive error…

                    I’ve said it in ither comments on this thread I thought this was part of those.

                    Bad polling, handling of the border, how she ran the bay area when it came to marijuana charges and cases, perceived foreign policy goals especially in relation to Israel, bad public image towards young people (pokemon go to the polls energy) and a subpar debate record. From what I remeber she was solidly losing until the fly landed on Pence and he got memed to death.

                    In the end she will just be women trump or women biden, I.e more of the exact same.
