I am all for a women president, but Harris is just a Hilary repeat ... Please dont.
AOC would be amazing but I know shes "too progressive"for the boomers... What ever the fuck that means
Too progressive = union busting?
Why is she Hillary repeat?
The thought is that her years as a prosecutor will come back to bite her. Plus a lot of people seem to have a problem with her personality.
I haven't watched her enough to form an opinion but those are the takes I've heard most often.
A prosecutor who is anti marijuana and anti minority.
I don't know much about her, but directly from the wiki:
It sounds like her position on weed is not exactly what people are painting it as. At least these comments make it seem much worse than it is according to the wiki.
EDIT:
According to this, she even supported a bill in 2019 to legalize marijuana at a federal level, tax it, and use that money to (according to this):
I don't know if it's on purpose, but you are definitely spreading misinformation.
Hmmm.. crickets
Because that is the talking point that the foreign propaganda machine has been pumping out for the last few months. You'll notice there were no comparisons to Hillary a year ago. Now it's all "Harris is a cop," and "Harris is Hillary 2.0". Ignore all of that bullshit. It's foreign trolls doing their job and muddying the waters.
I feel like I heard that stuff during the 2020 primaries as well, but the spotlight has definitely shifted back on her so we'll be hearing all sorts of things.
Exactly. If it were a real issue, it would be important enough to talk about all the time. When it only comes up if she is in the spotlight, it's a disinformation campaign.
Speaking, presentation, likability.
So well spoken female that people just don't like for some reason?
Chosen because of her gender before her merit. Evidence: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/15/biden-woman-vice-president-131309
She ran for president previously and lost terribly because people didn’t like her. She is not well spoken because clearly people didn’t resonate with her, women included.
When she loses, and I assure you she will, it’s not because she’s a woman. It all comes down to her track record and how charismatic she is, both which are bad.
Let’s not forget she backs Biden so things that the left is against, such as her and Biden sending bombs to Israel will hurt her terribly.
I’m probably voting for her, but it leaves a disgusting taste in my mouth stomaching it. I’m able to accept that I won’t have a perfect candidate but most Americans aren’t these days so it’s a loss for her, yeah.
They don't know. Watch... they won't have specific factual reasons, only vague generalizations. Betcha.
Piece of shit cop that ruined people's lives for the crime of minding their own damn business. Not progressive, at all, and very far right as Democrats go.
And just like that the concern trolls have aligned on a new attack line.
I'm voting for anyone not Trump, but she has a very public record of incarcerating non-violent offenders.
Progressives aren't going to get a candidate we like this year. And you know what, that's ok. I wasn't going to vote for Genocide Joe, but I'll do everything in my power to put in office Harris, Newsom, Whitmer, or whoever else milquetoast neolib gets the establishment nod, if only to prevent Trump from taking office.
Thanks for letting us know you'd rather have an autocratic despot run this country than Biden
Get it all out. We're on the same side now, sweet heart!
Your "Genocide Joe" slur indicates you wouldn't vote for him due to his stance on Israel. You think Trump would be better? He'd immediately start doubling arms shipments, I'm sure.
How do you think Harris's policy will be different? She's supported Biden's foreign policy publicly, so seems like she would hold course as far as Israel and Palestine are concerned.
You may think we're on the same side, but
Have you actually listened to her on the issues or do you just know what the media has been spouting? I was surprised to hear her very articulate and reasonable stances from her directly rather than through a progressive media filter. There's a mismatch.
AOC is legally too young to run still.
Dont understand how this myth still persists, since it is immediately corrected every time I've seen someone claim it.
I see this bullshit literally every day. Read up.
Intentional misinformation spread because they fear her
She'll be old enough by January 20th so she can run.
Actually old enough before the election. I was under that misapprehension, as well.
