Kamala Harris

[cupcaske123]

Biden has endorsed Harris to run for president. I don't believe she's very popular but it would be amazing to have a female president.

Electoral college plus Russia.

Which is not America, it's just 3 cities.

Because that went really well last time!

Potential running mates being talked about:

Gavin Newsom
Josh Shapiro
Pete Buttigieg
Gretchen Whitmer
Roy Cooper
Andy Beshear

She’s smart, capable, personable and can command a room. Plus she’d kick Donald’s shiny orange arse all over the stage in a debate.

I don't - I read her memoir and WOW does she loathe politics! Really can't stand any of it.
I wouldn't wish that shitshow on such a marvellous person.

This one keeps hanging about but it's not really true. Her net favourables are about the same as Trump's but she has about the double the number of "don't knows" suggesting her numbers are softer in either direction than his.

I always got the feeling Biden gave her tough gigs/didn't allow her much chance to shine as he didn't want her to succeed too much to avoid exactly this situation and pressure, only during the primary season.

This is it.

Why would someone who’s considering Trump go for a WOMAN of COLOUR. Exactly. Not going to work is it. Sad days .

Not a bad move, in polling women were already heavily favouring Biden, I can only imagine that lead will extend if they're voting for a woman, not a senile old man.

There's a bit more to being President. I can't imagine why she'd give up her life now to go back to the WH.

The problem with Kamala is not her gender... She's just not that impressive (more Liz Truss than Margaret Thatcher or Angela Merkel)

She is not remotely like Liz Truss. Why can't she be Kamala Harris? I dont think either Thatcher or Merkel would last 5 minutes in American politics.

I agree she’s also a bit forgettable but her sex should not be underestimated. I don’t think people will see her as a president. I mean Trump won over Hilary Clinton so…

How about Gretchen Whitmer as the first female president?

They need a white male not too left wing candidate. Trump would be on trouble then because apart from all the crazies there are a lot of people who don't like him. They will struggle to chip at Trumps base with a woman or non-white. Arguablya black man could win but a black woman has no chance.

What are people's problem with Kamala? Too brown?

Too daft.

Odd given that the polling reports have the only Democrat candidates able to beat Trump as Michelle Obama and rather surprisingly Hilary Clinton and ahead of any male alternatives - all of which would lose against Trump.

So too brown?

Why don't people just admit it?

"What are people's problem with Kamala? Too brown?"

Why does the left always have to bring race into the equation.

The problem with Harris has nothing to do with her skin colour but because she has a reputation of being difficult to work with (high numbers of VP staff leaving because of her) and a reputation for not actually doing much or delivering anything in her time in office.

If race was an issue as the left always imply, then why is the only possible candidate with a chance of beating Trump, Michelle Obama??

I think she could be great. Trump is owned by big media, of course he has constant brilliant PR and she has diddly squat, wake up do.

I like her a lot but it doesn't seem like Biden let her take much responsibility throughout his presidency. We certainly haven't seen much of her on the International stage.

Plus the US has never had a female president.

I'd love to see her take that orange twat, though!

I hate that this is true.

"So too brown?

No just ineffective but the left always sees skin colour before anything else.

For example would you say Rishi Sunak failed to get re elected as PM because of his skin colour or because the country was fed up with the Tories. Would you say that Liz Truss was forced to resign because of inherent sexism in media and Tory party or was it because she was just shit at her job.

I'm really starting to think that the biggest barrier to racial equality is now coming from the left and the obsession of seeing every thing through the prism of skin colour.

"Arguablya black man could win but a black woman has no chance"

Explain then why the democratic possibility that has by far the strongest chance by the pollsters of beating Trump is a black woman - Michelle Obama.
