Do you actually believe that is an accurate portrayal of her? Whether you agree with her policy positions or question her history of ultra liberalism that she is now trying to distance herself from is irrelevant. This woman is a former AG and has a wealth of experience with rhetoric.
She was my choice all along. Even beyond 2 years ago. We're all lucky, even you, to have her.
That was all before everyone saw the vegetative state of the President.Kamala Harris' already poor approval rating fell further during 2023, with one prominent political scientist telling Newsweek her unpopularity "could end up being a difference-maker" in the 2024 presidential election.
Kamala Harris' approval rating is a 2024 problem
The unpopularity of Kamala Harris "could end up being a difference-maker" in the coming general election, according to one political scientist.www.newsweek.com
President Joe Biden has already committed to retaining Vice President Harris as his running mate should he secure the 2024 Democratic nomination, which looks likely as only fringe Democrats have stepped forward to challenge the White House incumbent.
According to analysis by polling website 538 released on December 5, Harris' net disapproval rating has surged by 7.4 percent since the beginning of the year, from 10 points to 17.4. Her approval fell from 41.7 percent to 36.3 percent from January 1 to December 5, whilst her disapproval increased from 51.7 percent to 53.7 percent.
This is the person who went on national TV for a town hall and announced that she wanted to get rid of all insurance. Then hours after, when she realized how stupid everyone knew that was, she made a complete 180 and was all for insurance. That ended her first run there. Same with Fracking. Same with free gender transitions for detained illegals. Same for "the border is secure". And decriminalizing illegal crossings. Defunding the police. Mandatory gun buybacks. She has no idea what she stands for until the polling comes out on the guesses she makes. Then just simply changes her entire philosophy to match what she thinks is the popular stance. Quite the presidential material.
People keep tossing out the low VP ratings like that should carry a ton of weight, and it’s very exaggerated imo. What is she being graded on? VP essentially has two explicit responsibilities; be the heir apparent should anything happen to POTUS, and be the tiebreak in the senate…both of which could theoretically never happen. Otherwise, she has exactly as many responsibilities as POTUS hands out, the most frequent of which is to be a cheerleader for the administration. I’m going to guess that VPS of popular administrations tend to poll better than unpopular ones, so the fact that Biden has polled poorly overall has a corresponding impact on Harris.
Examples?
Democrats put themselves in the position of falling back on Harris because they were stuck in the lie that Joe was a functional president and could continue to be for four more years. They brushed off the talk of Joe's decline as right wing conspiracy until it slapped them in the face and everyone had to do a 180 and pretend this was a shocking new development.
Like I said, she has a history of extreme liberalism she is now trying to distance herself from. I agree.
She managed to get through 90 minutes of the debate without a cackle and coming off completely unlikeable. That was the bar she needed to clear in order to appear to be a better option than Trump. It wasn't a high bar, and she didn't clear it by much, but she did it.
Agreed. I put him on ignore it was too sad watching the slide. He used to give me a chuckle every now and then and now he's slipping off into MAGA land with the rest of them.
Mark McKinnon, campaign chief for George w. Bush said Harris's debate performance was the best he had seen since JFK in 1960.
How about favorability or likability? Look at how much that moved in her favor from just June to August. What the hell do you think it was at in 2023? I'll give you a hint- it was way lower. Are you saying she actually did something other than get nominated to deserve that whopping increase in popularity? Sure she did.

Wrong about what? You should have ran and hid after that post, considering YOU were the one telling us all that the State of the Union proved that Biden was sharp as ever! Dope.

She's shifted to the center. That pretty much explains all of it.
None of this counters what I said or what polling shows on the Dem side. She was up to 66 percent, and then months later up to 72 percent approval amongst Dems. She's steadily earned their trust and rose in their esteem, until she was easily the most popular choice to replace Biden BEFORE Biden ever hinted he'd step down. Now she's doing the same as the rest of the country gets to know her more and as she strengthens her skills as a candidate. You can't spin away from those facts.How about favorability or likability?

I liked her too especially after I watched her questioning Kavanaugh and Barr. I am very happy she is at the top of the ticket. Republicans and the media did a great job of making an intelligent competent person look like an idiot with their selective clips and reporting.
I'm not trying to counter those facts. You're arguing with the wind. You said "4 years ago most Dems didn’t want Harris to be the nominee", as if people began to like her soon after. It's such horse shit to pretend that even 2 years ago anyone liked her. Once the writing on the wall began that Biden was on the way out, people started to get behind her and accept the fact that it was Kamala or bust. And yes, she keeps getting more popular...now.
How on earth could that post be "more annoying" than the whiny, dishonest shitposting of the OP? Seriously. Read the OP.
If Kamala was so dumb, how did she trounce Trump so badly? How did she bait him so easily? If Vice President Harris is of average intelligence, she's way above average in poise, discipline, and execution. Even Fox News' lawyers laid out what she did as masterful prosecution strategy.Two idiots on stage spewing nonsense - pick your poison.
Great job, America!
Yes. The only MAGA who hates Trump, has ZERO posts ever complimenting Trump, has never and will never vote for Trump, and constantly makes fun of MAGAs. Totally MAGA. Good call.
It has been a magical rise. Once the media put Biden to pasture, they turned their collective focus on propping up the next best option, which was Kamala. But there's threads on this board that showed she was maybe the third most preferred option behind Biden, Newsome, or Shapiro before the Biden debate night.
She was at best the third most preferred option on this board. But this board isn't exactly close to the demographics of the Democratic electorate.

She proves she can learn her lines and act. Yeah? She did not prove she could provide an answer to a question
You probably don’t remember him saying mommy can you get me some jelly beans, to his wife
My point stands. When you are asked if you have a good opinion of Harris, what exactly are you basing your opinion on? Job performance? As I already said, VP is not a job that has a ton of responsibilities tied to it. Her public persona? I think judging someone you’ve never met on how likeable they seem on tv is an imperfect science at best.How about favorability or likability? Look at how much that moved in her favor from just June to August. What the hell do you think it was at in 2023? I'll give you a hint- it was way lower.

You keep making points for why people wouldn't think she would make a good president.
Or perhaps we learned that our initial impressions may not have been entirely accurate. A smart person learns and adjusts their positions accordingly
