I didn't want to believe it but they're already in the comments. We need to be vocal. Kamala is a great candidate.
If she she's was a great candidate she would have been the candidate 4 years ago.
If you’d applied this logic to trump would have even posted this?
Wha... what? What does that even mean?
The republicans are running last election’s loser.
Yeah?
She's an adequate candidate for the task at hand, which is beating Trump. Biden no longer is.
That's far from a assured. She has a ton of issues on her own.
She's an improvement over Biden. And just look at all the time, money, and effort Republicans wasted against someone who's no longer even running. They're flailing and trying to find something that will stick.
She was on the ticket 4 years ago. She is VP. Now she's on top. Kamala 2024!
I'm concerned you couldn't grasp that by candidate we were talking about the Presidential candidate.
How is she a good candidate? She stood against everything progressives stand for as a prosecutor and hasn't apologized or clarified that she supports marijuana legalization, abolition of for-profit prisons, or disproportionately prosecuting minorities.
What the fuck are you talking about? When she was running for president in 2019, she released detailed plans about how she would legalize marijuana, abolish private prisons, and reform the carceral system.
I get that you probably weren't aware of her evolved stance on these things, but a single google search could have shown you that you were incorrect on every single point you made.
And I'm happy to be wrong about her evolved state. Thanks.
