    I’ve accepted the racism and sexist thing as a real risk for Kamala. But I think most Democrats have accepted it too and are coalescing around her.

    Here we go people. Buckle up and prepare for a ton of racist and sexist attacks. I assume the Lawyer / Prosecutor experience for Harris will come in handy for this and she’ll come up with good Rhetoric / political plan for the situation.

    Arizona Senator Mark Kelly for VP could help insulate Kamala from these attacks. A lot of good VP picks actually could help.

      Risk? It’s great. Racist and sexist people were not gonna vote Democrat anyway. All this is doing is alienating the black and female Republican voter base.

        The women who were on the fence won’t be swayed by this. If you are a woman and you were even slightly thinking about voting for Trump then you are already so far to the right that nothing i can think of will get you to change your mind.

      She’ll probably win anyway, but we’re going to have reams of material by the end of it for the next time R’s are feigning ignorance about why everyone thinks they are racist bigots.
