I'm tossing this video here in this forum, simply as a departure point for discussion. But I think her speech is pretty good and worth watching, if you're interested. (speech starts at approx 1:05:00)
I've followed Kamala since mid last year, and did a bit of mild research on her over the months. I liked what I saw then, and now after watching her first speech live, contained in the video above, I really like what I saw today.
She has a compelling story. She was born of Indian and Jamaican immigrant parents, who both became educated professionals and succeeded in staking their place in this great American dream of ours. She is a lifetime prosecutor, yet seems to show reasonable benevolence to finding societal solutions to crime besides simply locking citizens up. She also has a fairly strong leaning to social-democracy with her platform of Medicaid for all, along with subsidized higher education.
She pushes "truth" and "unity", which is quite refreshing and in stark contrast to the present administration. She believes as Americans we have more in common, than what tears us apart. She seems to be promoting an "upbeat", rather than "anger" campaign. And she wants to promote science.
I like her "For the People" slogan, referring to her being a life-long prosecutor, and even her campaign sign's lettering is both blue & red. I really like the blue & red bit
Right now, I like what I see - a lot. She checks a lot of my boxes. She also reminds me a lot of Obama, to be honest. And that's a good thing (IMO). Time will tell.
So, anyone have any thoughts on her?

If she stays away from identity politics and encourages the rest of her party to, she may have a shot. And the latest Willie Brown news doesn't help.
You're projecting. The only one engaging in "identity politics" is Trump every time he vilifies minorities and Muslims to a crowd almost exclusively of white people.
And to hear a Trump supporter referring to the possibility of an extramarital affair as a campaign killer in the age of Trump is pure comedy.

Her religious bigotry doesn't do much for me.
What a ****in joke. "I'm with her" isn't identity politics? You aren't "woke", you are fully asleep.
If your incoherent nonsense is the best Republicans have then a box of tic-tacs could win the Democratic Primary and beat Trump.
At this point, your only hope is a third party candidate siphoning off votes away from the Democratic candidate. That's it. If that doesn't happen, Trump is losing.
Hopeless. You claimed Democrats don't engage in identity politics, that's clearly wrong by my example and you are bleating about the best Republicans can do? Its just the tip of the iceberg about how you are wrong.
Your "example" is incoherent nonsense. I can only assume you entered this thread believing your "example" was your winning hand. If that's the case then a chicken sandwich could beat Trump in the national election.
There's a year and a half to go before the Democratic primary, but for now she's my favorite. She has always struck me as an eminently serious person with a thick hide.
That's one thing I like, too. She has a thick hide.
I do have concerns about how the mongrels in the GOP are going to attack her, Warren (they already have) and other women who will run. They won't spare anything and they'll have douchebags like Hannity and Carlson to back them.
They're going to attack every candidate for everything. They're going to attack their race, their gender, their hair, their face, their religion, their ear lobes...everything. Don't worry about the mean things Republicans will say. They've spent the last two years flushing their moral currency down the toilet, so nothing they say matters.

To you and me, maybe, but there's a groundswell of idiots out there who listen to them. Unfortunately. They did in 2016.
I'm not committed yet, but so far Klobuchar has impressed me.
But today I thought of a Harris-Warren ticket. Now that would be interesting.
I think a slogan that better fits her views is “For the people... of color”
