lmao. What the fuck do you think the role of a figurehead is? The administration she's a part of is currently engaging in genocide, and she has not said one critical word. In fact, she can't even bring herself to use the word "genocide". She is fully supportive of the genociders and helped Biden spread Islamophobic lies about the victims. If she's a figurehead and isn't an islamophobic genocide-lover, she has a weird way of showing it. If you are in her position and not calling for Biden to cease bombing arab children, you are complicit.

Oh and that's ignoring the fact that you are obviously being disingenuous and she's the presidential nominee taking the place of a president stepping down. "Just a figurehead". Literally the second most powerful position in the administration, and running to be the most powerful.

Edit: let me quote you to you, so we can be clear on how much of a moron you are:

Why don't you fly to fucking israel or palestine or wherever and do something about it if you care so much?

You think this makes sense, but you think Kamala is a smol widdle bean who can't do anything. That's what kind of moron you are.

If you think that everybody in the USian government except for the president has no power, you are incredibly ignorant.

Do you think that vice president's job is to just sit back and do nothing and just be available to become the acting president if the actual president dies or becomes otherwise incapacitated?

They all have very specific roles. The VP does not legislate, or approve legislation.

The VP does not legislate, or approve legislation.

The VP is literally the head of the senate and can vote on senate bills to break a tie

And you are also claiming that the VP has no executive power whatsoever. You also seem to assume that she has no power to legislate indirectly, by collaborating with legislators, despite holding the second most powerful executive position in the USian government.

Can you, in your own words, explain the difference between the executive and legislative branches of government?

Oh, so she's just a willing figurehead for genocide, that's okay then.. puzzled
