She has some criticisms for her past as an attorney, but I’m not sure why she’s so disliked now. What has she done to engender such distaste from the public?

She is a strong black woman. That is reason enough for people. They will come up with other reasons, just like Hillary. You will hear a lot of “I will vote for a woman. Just not that woman.” Or, “I just don’t like her.” It’s all bullshit. They don’t want to promote a woman.

For those of you who will inevitably downvote me, just ask yourself, do you hate/distrust/dislike Kamala just like you hate/distrust/dislike Hillary? Hmmmmm

Yep, they’re here in the comments calling her a cop and a neoliberal. The bar a woman has to clear (and a Black woman at that) to be taken seriously is insane.

Not putting poor people in prison for being poor is not a high bar.

“I would vote for a woman. Just not that woman.”

I've been hearing that song for decades now. By a sheer coincidence, that woman somehow always happens to be the woman with the best shot of running for president on a Democratic ticket.

She does not have a shot at running for president lmao.
