In the 2020 elections You could argue that kamala was the weakest candidate out of the whole crop Not even in a leftist way like there were better liberals and centrists I think she did worse than bernie Amy Warren and even shit faced butegig While Biden provided a legacy candidate the top brass liked Bernie and Warren were exciting for the youth Amy was the centrist candidate Even Pete had more popularity
Kamala provided nothing The only reason she was picked for vp was that she was that she provided so many identity cards (black/Asian/female) it filled in the gap of electing an old white man as president
But now in a clear case of astro turfing meme culture is trying to rehabilitate her Even tho she is still the nobody who climbed the ladder who go their by mass incarceration of black people
The token vice president who stood by like a good dog while Biden failed to codeify roe v wad or deliver on campaign promises
In alot of ways she is the face of the Democrat party, a craven sycophant who betrayed her people to climb politics.
Kamala sucks but the optics of ousting her are so bad. She’s a ghoul like Clintons, Obama, Bootyedge, Newsom which is 90% of why she’s there. Dems seem to be hoping some people are won back by making the swap seem like a concession, despite it being a stolen primary for Biden’s unpopular VP.
Unpopular doesn’t begin to explain who detestable kamala is to anyone without tiktok Even the centrists and neoliberals don’t like her
If it’s any comfort the hate for her isn’t new here, she just didn’t come up much because she’s basically been a ghost for the past four years
It’s open seasons for hog hunting until 6pm EST before I clean up. Folks have fun!
r/neoliberal was saying shit like “any dem could beat trump in a landslide besides biden or kamala” like last week. Even in that incredibly liberal space, almost nobody there was interested in her being the candidate, they were split between riding with biden and pulling in someone more compelling than kamala. Looking at the top replies to the r/politics megathread in the aftermath of Biden dropping out and endorsing kamala is similar, mostly people saying “Anyone but biden or trump is fine, I’ll vote for kamala if it’s her” but nobody saying “fuck yeah it’s Kamala time!” or anything remotely resembling “liking her”
So I don’t see it as hatred and vitriol so much as just rightful condemnation, and acknowledging that even people who aren’t left wing radicals also don’t find her remotely inspiring. Her record speaks for itself, she sucks.
She’s the perfect candidate, a total nothingburger that Democrats can project all of their hopes and dreams on to without any pesky facts getting in the way.
I geniunely can’t think of anything she is passionate about other than her race gender and ancestry
Harris’ quote:
“You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you,” which she said at a White House event last year.
Some supporting Harris have referred to her candidacy as “Operation Coconut Tree,” said they’re “coconut-pilled” and have used the coconut emoji in social media posts…
Yeah I think the libs are having a Sarah Palin moment with Kamala, they’re snorting serious hopium on her based off the superficial, but once that new candidate smell wears off in a couple weeks the blatant weaknesses will come roaring back (who’s ready for the return of “student-loan forgiveness plan for Pell Grant recipients who start a business that operates for three years in disadvantaged communities”?)
(who’s ready for the return of “student-loan forgiveness plan for Pell Grant recipients who start a business that operates for three years in disadvantaged communities”?)
Am I the only one you noticed that both her and Hillary said the exact thing about that? Who is asking for that? Who benefits from it? It’s such a bizarre specific cutout.
Honestly her strategy should be to try and pin the Gaza genocide on Joe and run away from it as fast as she can.
Like don’t get me wrong she absolutely helped commit a genocide and IS a Zionist but she’d be smart to saddle Biden with all the blame for this and pick up all the disaffected voters who said they’d not vote for Genocide Joe.
i think she has better chances than ol biden.
she can play the ‘not trump’ card and not be weighted down in public perception by the pesky genocide.
project 2025-like policies are probably happening anyway, so meh.
