I know a lot of people are simply going to support her cause she's a woman and they'd prefer that over the man who talks about smashing his daughter, and I'm here for it BITCH
The bias against women as leaders is far greater in numbers than those who have bias in favor, especially when you consider the ones who prefer women were voting democratic either way. The ones biased against women might flip or most likely sit out
And a LOT of the times it's subconscious. There's consistent disparities between what people say the think and do, and what we actually do.
I don’t see anyone saying this. First woman president? First minority woman president? Or Trump. A white man who makes big promises and has a big smile. Do the math- this country isn’t ready. I hope to God they pick someone besides Harris
I think at this point. We have the age issue fixed, the misogynist issue fixed, and all the negative press issue fixed, and most importantly actually education in politics. Idk.
While I hope she wins, you're underestimating just how much she was disliked for being Black and a woman. Racism and misogyny are very much alive in America...
She may not even get backing from the usual large donors, though. Since Biden was talking about taxing the billionaires suddenly they conveniently think he is too old now and don't want Kamala either.
Some have pointed out that doing this is the only way to retain the money they have already raised for the campaign. Since she was already on the ticket, she gets to inherit those funds. If they went with someone else entirely, that person would be starting with $0
Is it okay that I'm hesitant because she's a cop? Her policy as a DA felt.... forgive me, it felt unkind and unhelpful. Obvs I will vote for whoever isn't Trump, I'm just looking to better understand the situation.
The vast majority of Black Americans can trace their ancestry through American slavery and form links from their past to the present. As much as the legacy of slavery has impacted them and America at large, I would consider it a real positive step to have someone with that specific family history and experience as the American head of state. It’s not a magic cure (just look at Clarence Thomas and Eric Adams) but it’d be nice to have that representation inform policy in that role on a personal level. It’s certainly informed how I live my life.
Harris set a new record for VP unfavorable ratings. She is extremely uncharismatic and in case you're not aware, this country continues to have significant undertones of racism and sexism.
