‘They’ as in me? Zip zero none nada nothing.. ‘They’ as in the establishment.. ? They don’t like her either. Her job is to scare dem voters to accept whomever Barry wants when it’s real close to November and her polls are 1% again

I have revisited this question multiple times. I don't find anything overly positive about any politician. I try hard to be a positive person, so I will say that although they are quite large, she has pretty teeth.
There are many, but I’ll stick to one very important one.
She supports keeping, rather than repealing, the Affordable Care, which allowed tens of millions of Americans to access health care by expanding Medicaid and opening state health exchanges with related tax credits.
@LeopoldBloom That's another thing, the president and veep don't run the executive branch by themselves. When we vote, we're actually voting for a huge administration, where the president is the figurehead. So while I'm glad we have Harris instead of Manchin, what matters most is electing a Democrat administration.
That being said, Biden lost the ability to communicate the Democratic plan forcefully and convincingly. He's also done a terrible job in publicizing his successes. Running a successful administration and campaigning unfortunately are very different skills, and he's very good at the former, but a complete failure at the latter. It's not enough to say "vote for me because I'm not the other guy." That barely worked in 2020, but people have forgotten how bad the Trump years were.
@LeopoldBloom Yeah, the president may just be the figurehead, but that role includes actually winning the elections. It doesn't matter how good Biden's team is if Biden couldn't talk well enough to get people to vote.
She has a good voting record, she's right on most of the issues, she's very good at negotiating and played a big role in rescuing those Americans recently, and she's funny and whimsical.
When people started saying Kamala Harris is brat, I thought that was kinda dumb... but then I looked up what brat means. Yeah, Harris actually is brat.
Also, her harshness as a prosecutor was actually exaggerated when it comes to drugs. She did give some people harsh sentences where selling pot was one of the crimes, but that's because the other crimes they were convicted of were actually bad. When it came to people arrested just for pot, she went as easy as possible on them.
@BohemianBabe but did what the people elected her to do and expected her do her job handling justice. I think though we respected people for doing that
@Briggett Harris will nominate more liberal judges instead of the Federalist Society hacks Trump would pick. She will also have better people in her administration than the Heritage Foundation fascists that Twitler will appoint.
I REALLY like her when she is unemployed. I LOVE her when she is completely silent. She is SO good at effing up our country, that I think she should apply that big eff to her own life.
So, yet another reason that has nothing to do with her specifically.
Of course it does! The veep pick is a window into what the president wants to do. Harris let us know that she wants to be more progressive than Biden. Trump reminded us that all he wants is for people to help him become a dictator.
She will appoint judges that the left approves of.
@BohemianBabe So someone else has to be a representative of what she wants to do? She sure hasn’t said it herself. At least not her new goals. Her old stances didn’t gain her much favor.
@Askeladd It's always like that. The team that the president puts together is based on what the goals are. Trump choosing Vance is a representation of what he wants to do if he wins. Harris had plenty of good choices, she picked the best one. This is absolutely something to celebrate.
She didn't literally say "I want to be more progressive than Biden." But look at the policies she's been praising Walz for. Unlike the fascist bozos she's running against, she's actually talking about policy, and it's all very progressive.
No. There nothing different about her support for Israel from Trump's. No political differences separate the two parties. Americans understand that and smugly choose war and ecocide.
There are probably 100 000 prosecutors in the US - yippy skippy
And she abused the position continuously to seize power and advance herself. Keeping people in jail past their release date and using it as campaign fodder. I'd say that reveals thoroughly poor character
