It is sad we wound up with these two. Elected for all the wrong reasons

Vice President Kamala Harris has come in for some bad press of late. Stories of discontent, political failure, and a mass staff exodus have accompanied the first Black woman vice president, who privately told allies that "the news coverage of her would be different if she were any of her 48 predecessors, whom she has described as all white and male," The New York Times reported.

But the truth is, if Harris were white and male, she wouldn't be vice president. Because Harris is our first diversity hire V.P

 

Uhhhh, the entire HISTORY of the office of the Vice President has been white and male, and a ton of mediocre ones at that. Are you actually delusional enough to believe that was the case because white men are somehow innately better at being Vice President than any other demo?

This is one of those instances where one is so used to privilege that they think the mere presence/visibility of a minority = their marginalization. Strange (or perhaps not so strange) that you'd single her out for merely living up to the same standards of a bunch of her white, male predecessors.

Kammy is great! She's doing a hell of a job on that border mess, isn't she? Evvvvrybody likes her!

Americans may not be the most intelligent people in the world, but they are smart enough to know that Mr. Biden was "advised" to choose a person who was female and who was non-Caucasian if he wanted to guarantee his election.

The integrity of the election aside, the choice of Ms. Harris encouraged millions and millions of proud people to mark the X next to the Democratic ticket for President and Vice President.

No doubt the 2024 Republican ticket will also have at least one non-Caucasian or even two: Ambassador Nikki Haley and Senator Tim Scott.
 
More of the same liberal perspective. She sucks but it's ok because some white guy before her sucked too.
 
i love when people like the OP show us who they really are.
