In the 2020 elections You could argue that kamala was the weakest candidate out of the whole crop Not even in a leftist way like there were better liberals and centrists I think she did worse than bernie Amy Warren and even shit faced butegig While Biden provided a legacy candidate the top brass liked Bernie and Warren were exciting for the youth Amy was the centrist candidate Even Pete had more popularity
Kamala provided nothing The only reason she was picked for vp was that she was that she provided so many identity cards (black/Asian/female) it filled in the gap of electing an old white man as president
But now in a clear case of astro turfing meme culture is trying to rehabilitate her Even tho she is still the nobody who climbed the ladder who go their by mass incarceration of black people
The token vice president who stood by like a good dog while Biden failed to codeify roe v wad or deliver on campaign promises
In alot of ways she is the face of the Democrat party, a craven sycophant who betrayed her people to climb politics.
Kamala sucks but the optics of ousting her are so bad. She’s a ghoul like Clintons, Obama, Bootyedge, Newsom which is 90% of why she’s there. Dems seem to be hoping some people are won back by making the swap seem like a concession, despite it being a stolen primary for Biden’s unpopular VP.
Unpopular doesn’t begin to explain who detestable kamala is to anyone without tiktok Even the centrists and neoliberals don’t like her
Funny, the polls contradict you.

Ok, give us your oh so special opinion then. And what state is programming us? And have you not been paying attention, we’ve been making fun a kamala since before 2020 lmao
Fuckin’ SAVED
If it’s any comfort the hate for her isn’t new here, she just didn’t come up much because she’s basically been a ghost for the past four years
Exactly. There was plenty of posting about just how bad she was in 2019/20 but VP is not a position where you get to exercise a lot of power so why even talk about her, there’s no new news.
All these articles were compiled and linked years ago: https://dessalines.github.io/essays/socialism_faq.html#kamala-harris
But now that she’s up for election, saying she’s unlikable or her record despicable, is just “hatred” and “interesting” timing, apparently… No motherfucker, we’ve been here the whole time saying the same shit. She sucks, she always did, Khive twitter posting was at least funny but it was just a sideshow because she ran a terrible campaign. But now she stands to take power and attempt to be girlboss obama (neoliberal who does shitty things but tries to have a veneer of progressivism or whatever) except without the charisma, so of course now we’re talking about her more than 6 months ago…
It’s open seasons for hog hunting until 6pm EST before I clean up. Folks have fun!
It’s 6pm btw
So it is, and thus thud the hammer falls
No, you just haven’t been paying attention to this side until a couple days ago. We’ve hated her longer than you’ve known who she is.
lmfao
what side would that be, politics understander?
r/neoliberal was saying shit like “any dem could beat trump in a landslide besides biden or kamala” like last week. Even in that incredibly liberal space, almost nobody there was interested in her being the candidate, they were split between riding with biden and pulling in someone more compelling than kamala. Looking at the top replies to the r/politics megathread in the aftermath of Biden dropping out and endorsing kamala is similar, mostly people saying “Anyone but biden or trump is fine, I’ll vote for kamala if it’s her” but nobody saying “fuck yeah it’s Kamala time!” or anything remotely resembling “liking her”
So I don’t see it as hatred and vitriol so much as just rightful condemnation, and acknowledging that even people who aren’t left wing radicals also don’t find her remotely inspiring. Her record speaks for itself, she sucks.
Oh shit!
