I Don’t Get This Selection Of Harris

so they can run her for president in 2024?

A quick glance at the hard lefties on twitter and they are PISSED.

Kamala
Harris

a
cop

The establishment doesn't want a Bernie or Tulsi type they want another centrist lapdog

Will do what's she's told. That's why.

I think it was because of her friendship with Beau - the Bidens are sentimental as hell and think it will be a good omen.

Less likable than Hillary. Tulsi destroyed her in the debate. Only someone with an IQ under 40 would ever want this woman to ever be president. Great choice to take crazy Joe down.

Well, he screwed himself when he said he'd pick a woman. Then he had to pick a black woman. So that leaves basically 2 choices. Milquetoast Rice or Heels-up Harris. Rice is too boring.

How do you not? Dems play intersectional politics down to the letter of its law. The character of the person is irrelevant.

They truly see "Black" and "Woman," and they think that automatically solidifies those two subgroups of voters into their camp. That's how short sighted they are

The pick doesn't make sense to me even from the purely tactical viewpoint of the dems.

I do, at least when you consider: A) the limited possibilities and B) the box he'd put himself in.

Kamala is a climber, and with that comes someone who can be controlled both by Biden and by public sentiment. She's not a zealot (at least by current lefty standards). She checks boxes (female, black) without the nutjobbery (Abrams, for example).

The downside is she's just not very likable and won't get enthusiasm among the hard left. But Biden is probably prioritizing moderates over enthusiasm and hoping that most on the left will still want to turn out for a black/female candidate and against Trump.

In sum, I don't think there was a better candidate who could partially placate the nuts while not completely alienating the middle. There were several equally "meh" choices, but none better for those purposes IMO.
