NBC News poll: Kamala Harris hits record low for VP net favorability
www.axios.com
Just under half, 49%, of registered voters have a negative view of the vice president.

She has some criticisms for her past as an attorney, but I’m not sure why she’s so disliked now. What has she done to engender such distaste from the public?

    But like this is all common knowledge if you want to have something of use to offer to this conversation. She was the California AG, literally the top policing position. Before that she was San Francisco’s DA and ran on a platform of Tough On Crime. She’s literally is cop and many would argue by extension, racist, as in systematic.

    As for her neoliberal status, I don’t think that needs to be explained.

    I hate when people say “do your own research” as much as the next guy, but there is a certain degree of familiarity with the subject matter that should be expected to participate, even ACAB dude up there knows what he’s talking about.

      Well, her being a cop is self-evident, but let’s review the entire comment:

      She’s a racist, classist noeliberal and a fucking cop (or close enough).

      Her political career has been chock-full of attacking public institutions like schools, protecting white-collar crime which destroyed countless lives, protecting child molesters in the church, implementing policy against the poor, and protecting prison slavery. I’m not sure where exactly the confusion lies.

      I would argue that, frankly, her being a neoliberal should be explained, for the sake of discussion, but her being racist and classist should be. The details of her career being “chock-full” of various acts should be coupled with specific citations to reporting of those acts. And so on.

      I don’t like Harris, mind, but the comment being discussed could have established its evidence in a more convincing manner.
