I've had a lot of people in my life ask what I thought about Harris. I think people want to feel optimistic, and the idea that a person "from" a marginalized group could be in power provides that hope. Yes I know idpol. But most don't.

All we can do is the same we can always do: be informed, and patient with people. Ask probing questions to get people thinking. Most of our opinions are from feeling/imposed ideology, so engaging with ideas (What do you think Kamala will do that will be so good? What makes you think that? Etc.) can force people out of that state and get them to actually consider why. Saying she's a dirty capitalist cop that should face the wall probably won't help lol.

Vibes win elections. But if she doesn't have control of the congress, people are going to get as upset as they were with biden sans the age.

If she does have control of congress, it'll be only by a small majority. And that would look even worse when she doesn't get anything done.

People are happy now. But I can't see this ending well unless she is personally ambitious.

~~Biden~~ Kamala is the most progressive president since FDR

Unfortunately kamala is not nearly as hated as Hillary, so I feel like this one is in the bag

The people excited about her are fine with that. They would've been big into planet-hillary in 2016.

and then libs will move on to support the next liberal candidate praising it for it's progressive tendencies and whatever nonsense
