Has she done something to earn that status? As far as I can tell, I just never hear about her. Over the last three presidents the only time I recall a VP being particularly prominent was when his president’s followers called for his hanging.
Too at to the other answer… She’s wishy-washy in her stances on issues, and talks in circles around things she’s uncomfortable with( a lot of pols do this, admittedly) that’s about as bad as it gets in a candidate for me. Tell me what you think and what you’ll work for and stick to it. If that changes all the time then there’s no way to trust it. Instant turn off.
Of course the black lady is unpopular in politics. The only thing my mother in law can tell you about why she doesn’t like VP Harris is that her husband is white.
I think there are people still serving time. For weed. That our democratic VP put there.
Harris saying she’s ready to serve is honestly one of the strongest arguments I’ve seen to not vote for Biden. The Dems are so good at throwing elections.
Yes, the party that elected our first black president doesn’t like Harris because she’s black. Dems would never, in a million years, approve of a black politician. Ever.
You’re being disengenuous ignoring the fact she’s a black woman like her experience wouldn’t be different from a man’s. Look at Ketanji Jackson’s confirmation process.
You say that like it’s a good thing. She is very very unpopular.

People don’t like that she aggressively prosecuted people for weed. She’s a bland neo liberal like the rest of them.
Does that matter?
If she’s unpopular, it really makes no difference why.

I think it has more to do with the the people she put in prison for weed as a prosecutor.
…and kept them there as literal slave labor.

That’s part of it, and definitely the majority of it here on Lemmy.
That isn’t even a consideration for the majority of voters.

Never.
Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. /s

She’s twice as black as Obama though
