I think she’s an awful choice tactically and have little hope for what her administration would do - but I’ll still vote for her if her name is on the ticket.
Gods I cannot wait for her to lose, she’s a POS through and through
I find that in general when people say shit like this, without elaborating, they generally don’t have a solid idea why they think that. Is that the case for you or do you have actual reasons for saying this?
Not OP here and I’ll vote for her in the election 100% but the concerns I’ve seen raised most often are:
She was a cop and her history reflects the history of being a cop. Being a prosecutor means that you’re pressuring innocent people into jail time plea deals and using cops to back up your arguments all the time. She’s the epitome of back the blue.
That makes her a great choice against the “Law and Order” fascist felon at least.
… but the concerns I’ve seen raised most often are:
Concern, singular. It’s the same issue over and over again, and especially in Harris’ case… I mean both Clintons were once opposed to gay marriage, which is a real deal breaker for me. I didn’t hold that one single issue against Hillary, I looked at the totality of her neo-liberal/con background before deciding I couldn’t support her.
And… Joe Biden and just about every other congress critter has a terrible history of police support too. You know what? That’s the price they pay for getting votes. I don’t agree with it, I think it stinks as much as pigs in general, but it’s a price I’m willing to accept to get everything else and not get a Republican administration.
I’m looking for reasons that make Harris unelectable. TBH, her background throwing people in jail for minor drug offenses ups her appeal with a lot of voters.
She began on a progressive platform with a side of identity politics. She sold out her progressive platform during the campaign to position herself for, then secure the VP nomination.
But, we don’t need specifics to be certain any given US federal politician is absolute trash. They’re all elected on corporate money.
Ideologically, she’s a corporate shill that incarcerated thousands of people for minor posessions and then claimed to be against such policies while never offering any amnesty or apology. Politically I have major disagreeances with both parties platforms. Socially, I think Harris leads to some Republican bullshit scheme.
Also, to everyone that keeps trying to gaslight America. EVERYONE HATES HARRIS, SHE WILL DRIVE AWAY ON THE FENCE VOTERS AND YOUNGER APATHETIC VOTERS.
She did her job and applied the law as it was, she wasn’t the one who had the power to change those laws, the people chose to elect people who didn’t change them.
The unfortunate truth is that that’s not an option. We get either a Republican, or a slightly better Republican. We need to put in a lot of groundwork to open the doors for any other options, and we’re just not there yet.
The fact that you’re both-sides-ing this is enough for me to bow out. Biden and Harris are nowhere near the level of evil that Trump is. Enjoy wasting your vote. I’m out.
They’re all pieces of shit, you don’t come to lead a political party without being one. But we’ve still got to pick which is the least smelly piece of shit of the bunch.

Ah, so you sorta tried to answer this question. But it boils down to “because things”, mainly. Or rather ONE thing exactly. I’d bet that is the sum total of your actual knowledge of Harris’ history.
Like take this sentence: “Socially, I think Harris leads to some Republican bullshit scheme.”
Y’all so far are just repeating the same thing assuming nobody will notice that “reasons” is so far only one “reason” and not a great one at that. Somebody remind me the name of this cognitive error…
I’ve said it in ither comments on this thread I thought this was part of those.
Bad polling, handling of the border, how she ran the bay area when it came to marijuana charges and cases, perceived foreign policy goals especially in relation to Israel, bad public image towards young people (pokemon go to the polls energy) and a subpar debate record. From what I remeber she was solidly losing until the fly landed on Pence and he got memed to death.
In the end she will just be women trump or women biden, I.e more of the exact same.
Gods I cannot wait for her to lose, she’s a POS through and through, Dems need a better candidate.
I think she’s an awful choice tactically and have little hope for what her administration would do - but I’ll still vote for her if her name is on the ticket.
Her losing means Trump winning which would be about a million times worse

why would you hope that? (not a US resident)

She could have gotten a different job that didn’t involve ruining lives over plants.
Prosecutors have discretion about who they charge, and what sentence they seek.
So you are eager for Trump to win, then.
sigh
I’m eager for dems to see we won’t put up with trash anymore. No more slightly better republicans, we deserve better.
The unfortunate truth is that that’s not an option. We get either a Republican, or a slightly better Republican. We need to put in a lot of groundwork to open the doors for any other options, and we’re just not there yet.
So, Trump then.
It’s either Trump, slightly older Trump, or Woman Trump, I’ll just write in Bernie.
The fact that you’re both-sides-ing this is enough for me to bow out. Biden and Harris are nowhere near the level of evil that Trump is. Enjoy wasting your vote. I’m out.

enlight me on the reasons for this conclusion, idk much about her

What? What does that actually mean?
Harris cannot win, Harris will not win this election. If she is the nominated candidate all it leads to is Republican bullshit and a win.
“Because reasons”
Yes, because of many reasons, with the big one being she’s incredibly umpopular and will drive people away.
Yes but WHAT REASONS SPECIFICALLY?
Y’all so far are just repeating the same thing assuming nobody will notice that “reasons” is so far only one “reason” and not a great one at that. Somebody remind me the name of this cognitive error…
