TBH statements like this are hurting her odds more than helping. Everybody on board already knows those things about her, nothing about her policies.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
American people are notoriously uninterested in policy when it comes to presidents in the general election. they elected W (with a minority) because they felt they could have a beer with him. they elected Obama for change, him being smart, a good orator, relatively young and black was a huge contrast to everything W was. they elected TFG (with a minority) because they thought he was an outsider. they elected Biden because he wasn't TFG.
but yes they should promote Harris' policies more because they aren't bad.
At least some of use do care. While I’m voting against Trump regardless, I’d rather vote for someone. If I do talk politics, I’d rather try to sell the benefits of a candidate, rather than what a disaster another candidate would be

Honestly more amped up more than ever that there’s a nominee under 60. God bless Biden for everything. That old turd Trump should realize he’s too old and drop out too.

Let’s maybe not focus solely on this, instead maybe on policy? Real problems Americans are facing every day is going to win more votes. Making the entire campaign about gender issues isn’t alone going to win shit.
Honestly, she has been shadowing an all-around decent president for the last 3ish years and like Obama, has the legal chops to back it up. Im not a fan of her stances from her DA days, but I dont think there is anyone else more qualified to do the job.

If elections were based on policy the GOP would have ceased to exist four days into Reagan's presidency.

Will she earn votes? Gonna have to do some work.
Someone asked me what I thought about Biden dropping out. I said, it doesn't matter. I am over policy, specifically NOT horrible policies like Project 2025.
So... like... what policies do you support?
I would love to have her lead the country!
I've seen her on TV before. But I didn't know she was black before today.
Her dad is Jamaican and her mom is Indian. Her dad might be half black, I'm not sure. I keep seeing republican memes saying she's not black or 25% black. Just endless memes trying to attack her on anything they can. Like, that's not even important, we have a real competent candidate and that's more than I can say about Dump.
It is weird to call her black, she's as much Indian as she is African. It's like the racist "1 drop" thing, where if you have any black ancestors you are defacto black, except in this case supposedly woke people are using it as a selling point
