If you ask me, I’m upset no one picked up that this consideration was sexist and racist, although it is indeed the best choice for her to win, which reflects how bad US can’t get over race and gender.

    I hated the way this was framed from the start, tbh I’d be more excited if she had chosen to buck expectations and put a non white guy in there.

    I mean, what are dems gonna do? Not vote for her?

      Democrats not voting for Harris is a real threat. What you’re describing is called voter apathy. Historically speaking the republicans win the elections with the highest amount of voter apathy. Democrats win in situatioms where higher voter turnout exists.

      Essentially speaking, the democrats biggest enemy is themselves.

        And voter apathy usually happens when the democrats drift too far to the right. It’s not a concern when they go left.
