 @e396cd52 They could indeed. Every one of them gets daily reports of what she is doing and where she is going. They even assign a reporter to cover her at all times. And then say nothing.

Kamala Harris is a superstar. She went from 6% in the polls to become the California Attorney General and then went on to become only the second Black woman to ever serve as a U.S. Senator.

All her haters are just scared of strong Black women is what I think.

I was listening to a podcast that I normally like & they were analyzing her response as a reporter tried to corner her into being super specific, opening her up to criticism and nitpicking.  She stuck to her guns with the answer she gave and was polite but tough.  And these guys criticised her for a thing they would complement a man on.  It made me so disgusted that I deleted the episode.  She could win any debate, but would men older than me concede that she won? 
 @c22052a6 @74aff7f9 @e396cd52 , my reasons for not supporting her include, but are not limited to, her support of the police. She has decades of doing nothing to change the system. And overt support OF the system. 
 @0c6b69d2 @c22052a6 @e396cd52 right now the system is working to hold Trump and the insurrectionists accountable. I’m ok with the system 
 @74aff7f9 @c22052a6 @e396cd52 I may be jaded, but I don't see anything actually happening. I think the system is working to protect the tre45onists. 
 @0c6b69d2 @c22052a6 @e396cd52 100% disagree. But it is a slow process.
