Edgy or frumpy? Which one? Those are opposites.

Edgy is the euphemism for those that thought her clothing plus natural hair are too black.
Frumpy in reality because her clothes plus hairstyle are actually very very normal and not at all outlandish.

Not sure why you think Karen Bass is more competent than Kamala Harris.

That's what Nancy and Congressional leadership seemed to think. Bass was clearly the domestic policy/management option, Rice was the foreign policy option, and Whitmer/Harris were the optics/politician options.

This. We suffer from a broad and deep systemic breakdown. The different parties and different candidates favor particular versions of our pathologies, but they almost never aim for the serious upgrade our society needs.

100% agree

I dont know about pp but society wide imo we tend to reward style over substance and devalue policy and management skills. It is a reflection of an everyday problem but it shouldn't be an everyday problem. The political parties in that regard are just a reflection of our own faults. We're all about memes, instaworthy visuals, twitter hottakes, and camera filters nowadays and that is imo not a good thing.

The political parties in both cases claim to be the best and the brightest. They are then given the reins of society’s resources. The problems we face are due to the politicians’ incompetence or, more likely, turpitude. The idea the political system merely reflects the people (or society) is silly.

Psaki's deflection was pathetic.

It's also unsurprising given that she's a professional dissembler.

Agree to disagree

I don't think anyone, besides the politicians, thinks that politicians are our best and brightest. Most ambitious yes. I don't maybe it's just me but our political ship of fools does seem to represent our societal faults pretty well. But we're the ones to blame because we keep rewarding them and incentivizing the traits we complain about.

I'm Black. The real Black community never liked phony Harris. Stop believing fake sellouts and inorganic astroturfing. Harris is and always has been a childless, soulless and conniving big tech (and Wall Street) puppet.

You must be kidding. I am a black woman in DC. She is beloved by every black woman I know and I went to Spelman.

Maybe Spelman, like Howard, is rarified enough to not be indicative of broader sentiment???

Democrats have gotten way to enamored of what folks at fancy schools think.

I am firmly a part of black American culture. Very few black people don't keep a foot in both worlds. It's called code switching. And with that I repeat, the black community loves Kamala. Some black men have been upset b/c she's married to a white man.

Wow, that’s really racist. Shouldn’t we all be allowed to live and love whomever we choose?

Yes and yes. However dont fool yourself into thinking it's a unique scenario. Across all ethnic, racial, sectarian and gender lines there are always some that don't like mixed couples.

A member of hybrid WH press corps is pointing out the hypocrisy. Oops!

Back to the topic.

Seems as if Biden aides are coming to her defense. Not too many Harris aides, other than Symone Sanders.

"Not one named person. That’s what bothers me most. We’re in a day where the stakes are high. You’d just hope if there’s a legitimate criticism they’d put their name next to it."

Has he been asleep the past 4 years?
