    She seems both qualified for the job and motivated to stand up to the Trump administration’s aggression, both of which are important qualities in a leader of a US state that happens to be the world’s 5th largest economy.

    EDIT:

    For those who downvoted, perhaps you could use your words to explain what you disagree with and why? I don’t know Kamala Harris all that well, so if there’s something important that I’m missing, I would like to know about it. A downvote alone doesn’t help anyone.

      I’ve never seen her be anything but a nakedly power hungry, political hack. She’s tried to sell herself as both a progressive and conservative liberal, depending on who she’s talking to. I wouldn’t doubt if sher looses again, she’ll go Republican.

      International relations standpoint aside, she offered no benefits or relief to the economic woes of the working class other than telling them to suck it up because everything’s fine. She ignored progressives in a pathetic attempt at currying favor with the likes of Liz fucking Cheney because she thinks conservatives would actually pick a Democrat over literally any Republican candidate. Everything about her screamed corporatism, the status quo of deadlocked improvements in Congress, and a lack of willingness to meaningfully change things for the better.

      She is the quintessential establishment Democrat who would rather campaign for fundraisers than actually act on meaningful legislation. Despite all these (and many more) flaws, I voted for her as she was the only meaningful opposition the DNC could regurgitate out because Biden was too proud to stop his reelection campaign early on. For California governor, I’d want an actual progressive with the intent to make things better over her any day.
