In reply to the discussion: Joe Biden selects Kamala Harris as his running mate [View all]Sapient Donkey
(1,568 posts)I like Harris and think she'll be a great VP, but all day I've been defending her from irrational attacks on twitter. Not people from the right either. It's expected they would attack any democrat. Particularly one who is as strong as a candidate as her. They would have attacked Duckworth too. But the main people who get me going are the ones who attack her from the left. There are some valid issue, but there is just so much nonsense. They are literally trying to make her out to be basically no better than a republican. Saying she is anti-LGBTQ, anti-black, pro police state etc... It's one thing to offer fair criticisms of people, but they make stuff up and ignore anything that runs counter to what they want to believe. I got the same feeling of total frustration that I usually only get when arguing with stubborn low-information Trump supporters. Changing the topic. Goal post moving. Irrational complaints and expectations not based in reality. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
