54. I really really really like Harris

Thu Nov 26, 2020, 02:11 PM

Nov 2020

She was my first choice during the primaries and I was overjoyed when Biden selected her for VP. She reminds me of both Michele and Barack Obama in many ways - she’s a people person and just has such an awesome presence (not to mention whip smart and more than suited for presidential level leadership).

I can’t wait to see Harris take the reigns of our party in the future.

Not to mention that the portrait is awesome in and of itself. The artist, regardless of the fact that he’s 14, is quite remarkable.

Have any of the trumps ever inspired people like this? Maybe I’m just inside a left wing bubble, but I never see this sort of thing from the right....
