Why do people hate Kamala?

I used to not like her because she was "snarky." (ex. Kavanaugh hearings; debate with Joe Biden), but now I think she must have been very well coached by her staffers then.

I do not understand why she cannot give better speeches. Last week, she gave a speech where she said that Biden is putting more money in people's pockets with electricity and gas going down.
I understand that she is not stopping to put gas in her vehicle or buying groceries--but does she not read? watch news?
Everything is going up in price. Clueless.

The inflation rate has been on the decline for awhile now. Read the news.

You realize the inflation rate can be coming down while prices are going up, right? Inflation is still way too high although the rate of increasing prices has slowed some.

Oh right. When you suck as a politician, cash in all of your diversity chips to make you immune from criticism. Maybe she just stinks.

She looked Iike an absolute idiot when they tried to put her on stage to talk about North Korea, China, and geopolitics. It's absolutely clear she'd be wayyyy in over her head when it came to something like geopolitics. Dems keep electing diversity candidates who can only think about the world in American terms and hyper local politics. It make a for very ineffective WORLD leaders.

I don't hate Kamala at all.

I don't think she is anymore of an "identity politics" VP than Pence was when Trump picked him in an overt attempt to appeal to white evangelical Christians.

I'll also go a bit farther and comment that ppl who whine about 'identity politics' solely when the purported beneficiary is African American leave me feeling cynical to say the least.

Back to Kamala...I don't think she done any better or worse than most recent VPs (ironically, I'd say Biden was an above average VP).

I don't think she's a great avatar for the Dems in a post-Biden scenario. I would actually put her in the same place as Pence - someone who was ostensibly a good 'pick' as VP, has a segment of the party base who truly supports her - but doesn't really offer anything that will move the party forward.

The complicated issue with Kamala is while it was easy for Rs to ditch Pence, if Ds try to do the same they will be attacked for abandoning a 'woman of colour'. Same with Transportation Secretary Pete - if anyone points out he's not going to appeal to most Ds outside the terminally online crew who loves watching him on cable news, we'll be accused of not elevating LBGT.

Realistically - the Ds have a fairly good bench - but they are all governors - and, to be blunt, are white.

If Biden or Harris end up running in in '24 I will vote for either because my political preferences are best served by the Dem platform. But i'm frustrated there are strong governors out there who ought to take the lead and it's not being discussed.

She has many strikes against her—misogyny and racism—but she doesn’t overcome them with a charming personality a la Barack Obama. She comes across as very brittle. Praying for a Pete Buttigieg presidency in my lifetime….

Exactly. No only is she a airhead, she’s a bad speaker. My kid did better speaking to her entire high school while running for office.

I agree that she’s a bad speaker. I dislike the way she breaks things down as if the person listening is stupid.

Now I could forgive that if she had demonstrated policy expertise or strong relationships with the hill to help advance legislation (like Biden).

I’m not sure what she brings to the table as VP or a presidential candidate but I would vote for her over any GOP nominee.

What has he done to instill any confidence in his ability to be president? He has done a crappy job as secretary, shown his thin skin, took 2 month off for paternity ( I’d love to see the defense secretary or AG take 2 months off their jobs). On top of that, his only elected office was a mayor of a small city.

No thanks. Many other better qualified Democrats.

Yep. But apparently it was hilarious and encouraged to mock Dan Quayle - but "racism and misogyny" to mock Kamala Harris. Never change, Democrats.

And this kind of person is expected to be completely perfect every second of every day while others can fumble their way through.

I don't expect perfection, but I do expect competence.

And, we have not seen that. Her speeches are largely word salads delivered in a way in which a first grade teacher would talk to her students.
She has been absent in terms of her role as border czar.
The few interviews she has granted have resulted in a string of embarrassing sound bites.
I don't hate her, but I don't believe she has represented her office well.

done nothing for the border crisis. nothing

She can start by pronouncing her first name correctly.
