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
If that's the spin republicans will take on her, they'll alienate their own voters and push them democratic.
She's a democrat so the average voter is totally incapable of identifying that they could be anything but pro minority and soft on crime.
It's like pointing out that republicans keep crashing the economy, doesn't matter, they're branding is still 'good for business'
Oof, that's not great; got an example?
Apparently she changed her mind according to the sources responding to my comment.
I think this is an instance of people failing to think from a systems perspective rather than an individual perspective. Kamala Harris was a functionary of an oppressive system and chose the easy path of not challenging it from within. That in itself may not inspire confidence in her potential presidency, but it does not discount her completely. She is still an individual who has changed her views over the years in a way that suggests hope for her being a better president than she was an Attorney General.
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.
They don't know. Watch... they won't have specific factual reasons, only vague generalizations. Betcha.
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.
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.
