Alot of people doubt her ability to govern should something happen to Joe Biden. I've been searching for reasons she'd be a poor candidate but all I've found are vague opinions. Somebody please give me some specific reasons.

(4,285 posts)She police. I think that sums up a lot of poorer folks opinions. I imagine a lot of the rest of her dislike can be attributed to old fashioned racism and misogyny.

(115,160 posts)Most don't want to discuss this, but we live in a patriarchy and one of the myriad consequences is women are judged far more harshly.
I really feel bad for Hillary. We should never have had that rapist sick fuck in office. But it was so much easier to demonize her because she is a woman.

Notice the way they deliberately mispronounce her first name. As if they cant get their mouth around it. Shouldnt be any surprise since theyve been calling us the Democrat party for 40 years now.

A lot of this animosity toward her has been unfairly pushed by the illustrious "libural media"
VP Harris is capable and smart. There is no doubt she has been unfairly treated.
Niki Halley's campaign against Biden has played on the racism and sexism of the republicans by saying if you vote for Biden, you are voting for Harris.
Shame on the lazy media.

brooklynite
(96,818 posts)It's not that people "dislike" her; it's that she doesn't stand out as a compelling political figure. Regardless of what you think of her background as an AG and Senator, she ran a lackluster campaign for President (was in single digits in the summer of 2019) and gave up before voting started. And as VP, she's failed to find an issue or task that's given her a high public profile.
PunkinPi
(4,932 posts)2019 was a crowded primary field and she left the campaign at the end of 2019 because she actually cared about paying her staffers, unlike some other candidates that knew they weren't going to clinch the nomination and carried on taking donations.
VP Harris has led the charge on reproductive rights, voting rights, gun violence and more.
She draws crowds wherever she goes and is an inspiring figure, just because the media refuses to cover her (unless some unnamed source is smearing her) doesn't mean she isn't doing her job (and her main job is supporting efforts of the Biden-Harris admin and being ready to take over if something happens to POTUS). The demands made of her have never been made of the long line of white men who have held the same position. Biden's accomplishments as POTUS are as much hers.
She is also an historic first as VP and her representation matters to a lot of folks, perhaps just not you.
brooklynite
(96,818 posts)She wasn't going to clinch the nomination, because her public support didn't get into double digits.
And it doesn't matter what * you * think of her accomplishments. The average voter who doesn't hang out on political blogs doesn't know and isn't impressed by her record or accomplishments as VP.
Favorability:
Approve 36.4%
Disapprove: 52.8%
PunkinPi
(4,932 posts)but she was self-aware enough of her standing in the polls in 2019 to recognize that she wasn't going to win the nomination and she wanted to make sure her staffers were paid. That should be an admirable thing.
I would contend that if the media accurately covered her as VP, they would see what she was doing and her accomplishments. Your "hanging out on political blogs" hasn't seemed to help you realize her accomplishments either.
And her favorability is currently in line with Biden's:
And ultimately Biden opinion of the job she is doing is more important than yours...
calguy
(5,557 posts)She's just not an effective national candidate. For all her positive points and accomplishments, she lacks the charisma it takes to run a national campaign.
deurbano
(2,934 posts)And while I was initially pissed off 2020 was going to come down to two older white guys, I think Biden has been a fantastic presidentespecially given the severe constraints imposed by a Republican Supreme Court, and the lack of (or slim) majorities in the House and Senate and one of his best and very reassuring (to me) decisions as the presumptive nominee was to choose Harris for VP. She was masterful in her questioning (Kavanaugh, etc.) as a senator, and she was/is a big supporter of domestic workers' rights, an issue close to my heart... and she just seems extremely attractive and intelligent, but also very relatable, savvy about modern culture, warm and passionate, with a good sense of humor. I understand why Republicans don't like her, but not Democrats. Was Joe considered a better VP? I don't remember hearing that much about him, one way or the other, but all we hear is how much Kamala sucks.
calguy
(5,557 posts)We all love her, but unfortunately, for one reason or another, she lacks the charisma to attract a majority of voters to make it on the national stage. I'm sure she'll run in four years, so we'll see if she's figured out how to run a successful national campaign in a field of other democratic hopefuls. Her time, if it is to come, is still four years away.
Quakerfriend
(5,520 posts)say, however, that since shes been VP she seems to me to be uncomfortable in her own skin.
This is just imo. I never saw her in this way before she took office.
She is so smart & so beautiful but, now when I listen to her speak I feel an inauthenticity comes across. I know its hard to portray a sense of calm confidence when you are always being monitored by the media. I just wish she could just be herself because I know she would be an excellent President.
Think. Again.
(12,563 posts)...Vice President Harris are rightwingers who would say they don't like any Democratic politician.
I personally haven't heard any legitimate doubts about her ability to lead, after all, she's a major player in an extremely successful presidential administration.
Basic LA
(2,047 posts)When, during a debate, she turned to Biden and said, "Joe, I know you're not a racist..." then accused him of being a racist for not supporting forced school bussing back in the day.
That stunt pissed off a lot of Dems at the time. After the debate a reporter asked if SHE supported bussing and she laughed and said no. So it was just a campaign gimmick to tar Joe, who had never once been accused of that in his long career, and his years as Obama's VP & friend. I think many were surprised when Biden later chose her for VP. And many in Biden's staff held a grudge.
As for why the Repugs hate her, who knows. But many Dems were slow to forget. Remember her "That little girl was me" T-shirts?
PatSeg

cheezmaka
(774 posts)I also remember that 100 black men (leaders) went to Biden and actually "threatened" him by persuading black voters not to vote unless he nominated Harris. Ironically, many other black men feels she sent "too many Black men" to jail as a prosecutor in California. Personally, I feel that she hasn't been given the platform to exhibit her charisma (only on a few occassions). What's more important is that she has the capability to lead in the event something untimely happens to Biden while in office.
Johonny
(21,431 posts)Becoming VP. The media has virtually ignored her the past 3 years other than to criticize her. She's a woman and she's a minority.
Biden is too old, but Harris is too inexperienced. In the make your fucking mind up already media what you want, old experience or an in their political prime candidate? The Democratic ticket has both, but the media just ignorea Harris as a nobody. As if she's Dan Quayle. Something she clearly is not.

That Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer are considered the front-runners for 2028.
When the party people - the movers and shakers and big donors - consider the VP as a bit of an afterthought - and they've clearly felt this way since at least 2022 or so - something's up.
But, as you said, it's impossible to discuss in this space.
I liked Harris. She was in my Top 3 in 2020 (Harris, Buttigieg, Warren). But then the campaign imploded. And I like her a bit less than I used to. For me it was what went on in her campaign, and then the high staff turnover once in office. Those things tell you a bit about someone's working personality - not the one exhibited on camera.
At the end of the day, all I can say is I really liked her as my senator. Still would if she had continued with that. But in 2028, I predict the Democratic Party will look past her. And it won't be because of her gender (see: Whitmer being considered a strong contender).
Edit: I wrote Meg Whitman originally.

(39,561 posts)From the perspective of this Democrat, those two are in totally different leagues.
I didnt always agree with HRC on the issues but nobody in the party, male or female, was stronger in terms of knowing the issues and being able to articulate them. If you didnt respect HRC for that you had other issues.
As for Harris, in 2020 it was hard to tell where she even stood on certain issues because she wasnt always so sure herself. To me, she was simply not ready for primetime on basic matters like health care. She gave the impression of someone who just hadnt done the heavy lifting. As a career prosecutor she deserved some slack on that, but she came across as not being curious enough to at least learn the basics before she stepped on a debate stage.
TheKentuckian
(25,376 posts)as not wanting piss to off the money people and/or being forced into the Warren/Sanders lane so the resulting dancing around led to projecting uncertainty rather than the actual not wishing to be forthright that she wanted to go single payer.
Her only plausible path was to run in the mainstream lane even if she was inclined to more left than being a former prosecutor usually may infer but you carry the grievance no matter what and it is hard to consolidate the black vote if you get caught up in a leftier than thou battle and be taken seriously, especially being black.

And not only is she from California, she's from the worst part of it - liebrul San Francisco, which is full of those people. Never mind that she moved to Southern California when she married. And she dated Willie Brown before that (well, no one's perfect).
I admit I'm biased, since she sent me a nice email when she resigned from the senate to become vice president (ok, she sent it to several million of her constituents, but it's the thought that counts).
hamsterjill
(15,410 posts)Yes, there is certainly the sexism element, but in my opinion, Vice President Harris has been largely unseen during the term. Perhaps thats not her fault. I dont know.

I hate to see the disinformation about her career, how she supposedly threw everyone in California in prison and laughed about it or whatever the conspiracy theory is. Same as how Hillary supposedly threw everybody in prison because of the 1994 crime bill and laughed about it while some who actually voted for it and insinuated Hillary was racist were innocent bystanders (it was tried again against Biden in 2020 but it didn't work, he's a guy).

On top of that, the day any Democratic woman achieves any kind of prominence, the verbal hit squads at Fox & associated wingnut outlets start to go to work on them, tearing down their reputation by slander, innuendo, snark, etc. Happened to Hillary, to Janet Reno, to Loretta Lynch... Hell, they even attacked Michelle Obama who spent her White House years raising her kids, promoting exercise & nutrition, and gardening. Somehow they made that sinister.

she's the DEMOCRATIC VICE PRESIDENT who "stole" the office from Trump2 ! /s
I am sure that the vast majority of the Democratic party base
does not "dislike" Kamala Harris!
(There may be a tiny portion, probably on the left, who may dislike her background as a prosecutor...)
I do not 'doubt her ability to govern should something happen' to President Biden....
And in any such instance, she would begin surrounded by PJB's team of very capable advisors,
and I presume would draw upon their opinions and experience, as ANYONE would
who had been advanced to the presidency under such circumstances...
I think she is a thoughtful and intelligent person, and thus,
EVERYTHING would be quite all right!---

TexasDem69
(2,317 posts)On her race or gender. Shes simply a bad politician. She hardly had any support among Democrats when she ran for president so lets not pretend she was super popular at any point. She hasnt done anything that stands out as VP and I wouldnt be shocked if Biden chooses a different VP for the next election.
JustAnotherGen
(32,710 posts)The trip signalled that, despite a tenure clouded by negative headlines and approval rating that often lags behind Bidens, Harris remains critical to the presidents re-election campaign because of her ability to galvanise Black voters and her sharp messaging on abortion rights, a potentially decisive issue. Many Democrats regard her as an asset rather than a liability.
He will not drop her. She's out there doing God's work to put the fear of Trump in our children, nieces and nephews.
It might be hard to understand - but she's an aspirational figure to black women 18 to 118 . . .
