"During a recent appearance on CNN, Axios’s Alex Thompson suggested that Vice President Kamala Harris’s complicity in concealing President Joe Biden’s decline from the American people could be a major political liability.
Thompson made his point after CNN’s Kasie Hunt observed that there was building momentum for Harris within the Democratic Party."

Burned by identity politics

Trumpnis identity politics. Can't be the case with white folks though? They are qualified?!
I’m a black woman and please get outta here with the brain rotting identity politics. How rudimentary is this thinking. Please be serious. Thank you Cenk for pushing back on the nonsense.
I understand, but many in my community I can’t even talk to without identity politics coming up. It’s embedded in politics too much especially in the south.
@@susiepoexoxo thank you!

black people do not like Kamala, idk what this lady is talking about
@@onthecouchwithdonatodavis9569 "as a black person" do you want Trump?
@@onthecouchwithdonatodavis9569 🇺🇸. Agree. Kamala policies are destroying Americans. Her rhetoric on women’s right to choose in reality is TO CONTROL THE RATE OF UNDESIRABLE FEATURES OF BLACK POPULATION. SHE KNOWS BLACKS WILL NOT SUBJECT THEMSELVES TO LABOR WORK. THEY STRIVE FOR EQUAL RIGHTS. IMPORTING ILLEGALS IS SLAVE CHEAP WORK. SHE RAISED THE LADDER ON HER BACK AND HER ELEVATOR DOESNT WORK. 🇺🇸
She is greatly underestimating how much young black people dont want to vote for a cop.
The young people didn’t vote for her and Biden last time… she’s talking about a specific group… the ones that supported them last time. Harris was a gimmick choice at VP because she was BLACK… her color got them a few extra votes from blacks who were talking about “sitting it out” while Biden was being tagged a “bigot” over of the ‘94 crime bill he wrote…votes they’ll definitely need not to lose this time around if they want to have a chance to win.
They cheated Bernie... Karma is a bitch...

Thank you we wanted Biden we wanted him at the cookout not her
As a black woman I could not care less about the candidate being a black woman, I just want the most qualified person to win, who will implement policies that will positively impact my life and others.
I also realize I live in a bubble, bc apparently this is not a universal feeling.
💯
You *probably* live in a less of a bubble than Sharon
No you are right I don't think most black women are feeling Kamala like that anyway. I really don't think most black people care for her and will prefer someone else over her to replace Biden. Andy Beshear is my pick because I feel he's the only one who can beat Trump. He's the only candidate who can get those never Trump republican voters. Those voters will never vote for Kamala or Newsom or Whitmer or the others but they will vote for Beshear.

@@SS-hl6ut how about voting for a candidate who has your best interest at heart and in mind. For anyone to vote for someone who wants to take your rights away is beyond my understanding.
Give us your votes black folks. You are just tokens and have no other value. See you in 4 years our most loyal voters. Btw, some black men don't like female candidates.
@cynthiafoster8473 Dem voters will vote for the Dem candidate. Don't come to blame Dem voters when Biden fails to attract independent voters who don't give a crap about party lines.
I am Black and Black people see her as a traitor overall. I don’t know what this woman is talking about.
@@qadirthomas4982 This woman only sees color and gender and believes we should all do the same. We as black men owe her I guess.
@@cusz87 Yes, we owe her nothing!
exactly !
@@cusz87 The democrat campaign pays black women influencers to praise Kamala on social media platforms to try and keep and gain voters for her. They do it all the time. My question is, where were they when she ran for president in 2020? Birds chirping. Most likely because they didn’t do it 4 years ago, but they’re doing it now because they’re desperate.
She’s talking about the blacks that vote blue no matter who… I think she’s correct… those voters think she next in line, jumping over her for a white person will mess with the trust of fairness they have in the the Democrat party.
As a black woman in her 30s, I’m not a fan of Kamala Harris. I don’t hate her, but there is just something off about her. I would much rather have someone else, BUT the woman in her video isn’t wrong. A lot of older black people feel this way, unfortunately.
As an African American I don't agree with her. She's already walked away from us and it's no longer invited to the barbecue
But it isn’t just about us. Let’s not be naive
@@carah4958 History agrees with your sentiment exactly!
I will not vote for her ever
She said she will never do anything for just black people. She needs those non citizens more than you.
Whats this lady talking about...nobody likes Kamala...hold an open convention, let them compete
Are you a black woman? How old and from where?
@@hillsane9262 Im a black man married to a black woman. And that is what my wife and I and friends AND family talk about. We are all disappointed in Kamala and laugh at her bumbling all the time.
@caronandgful I have not seen much of her bumbling lately. Seems pretty well spoken, at least with talking points. How is she beyond that. I don't know.
Do we know do most black women feel the way your wife does because even a 20% drop off might be a problem.
@@hillsane9262 By your reasoning because I am a Black man and a septuagenarian, the thought of Clarence Thomas being impeached and removed from the Supreme Court should offend me. It is not enough to ask whether a candidate is Black and then on learning that he or she is to vote for him or her. By this criterion, African-Americans should vote for fantastically reprehensible candidates such as Larry Elder, Wesley Hunt, and Byron Donalds.
The most charismatic person ever to serve in the the U.S. House of Representatives, Harlem's very own and redoubtable Adam Clayton Powell, once remarked, "You don't have to be Black to think Black," it is, he said, a matter of whether you stand and fight with us. Nor do you have to be white to hold racist and class-conscious views that are harmful to Black and "ordinary" people not protected by financial wealth. What, I ask you, has the Biden administration done for the benefit of Black people, specifically, and the public in general? Yesterday, the President enumerated his accomplishments:
He reduced inflation (Although not at my grocery store.),
He came up with a peace plan for the Middle-East (Give Israel all the 2,000 lbs. bombs it needs to kill every last Palestinian in Gaza, so Israel can acquire it so that Israelis can live there peaceably.),
And, he said that if he had another 4 years, he would restore Roe v. Wade (I wonder why hasn't he already done it?)
None of the major social benefits Biden and Harris declared as objectives they would see through to enactment during their campaign were realized: Not paid family medical leave, nor universal eye or dental care; not free community college. As for the Voting Rights Act they promised to see restored, the Administration failed to even push for the enactment of the Act. Kamala made a few remarks that were no more than trite statements. And what no one who has a heart, mind, and soul should ever forget or forgive is her being a spokesperson for the Administration's approval and participation in the unspeakable genocide occurring in the Gaza! Tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians have been and continue to be murdered with the complete sanction of the Biden Administration. Explain to me why anyone who is African American, a member of a people who have been subjected to the worst abuses with the sanction of the United States government, would support a political hack without a conscience simply because she is a woman of color? African Americans should be especially outraged by her conduct! If, instead of her standing fully behind the murder of innocent Palestinians, she stood fully behind the Administration's approval of states subjecting African-Americans to the worst kinds of abuse in addition to their disenfranchisement, which the Biden Administration did nothing about, would you still support her candidacy for the presidency because she is a woman of color? It pleases me to know that younger Black voters have an entirely different view of the Democratic Party, which is firmly supported by Black women 50 and older. There is a white octogenarian whom I, a Black man, would chose over Kamala Harris, whom I think unfit for the office -- Bernie Sanders.
@@hillsane9262 Look up the recent interview Ezra Klein did with a reporter who followed Harris around for a while and talked to people who have seen her in action up close. The podcast episode is titled "Is Kamala Harris Underrated?" Some of her natural instincts work against her when it comes to campaigning as a presidential candidate.
I'm a black man and i completely disagree with this woman. I dont give two fucks about the color of the candidate. Harris is a waste of time and a terrible choice.
She's not even black.....
As a white dude in Texas, I would be very proud of America if Wes Moore became Biden's VP IMMEDIATELY by Biden's New Superpowers gifted by Harlan Crow's corruption.
I am real certain Putin, Modi, Netanyahu and Rupert Murdoch won't mess with a PROUD AMERICA back on track.
Kamala can be wooed by fat wallets and fashion trends. Unfortunately. And is fake married to Netanyahu's biggest Dem supporter in DC.
If Harris is such a terrible choice, then WHO IN THE HELL will replace Biden? WHO?
Yes, I believe you are a black man. Now what do black women think? The only group more loyal than black men.
What does race have to do with this?
I love that DEI and identity politics have come back to bite us in the ass
Open convention, Not Harris!
I’m black. I’m telling you the black lady on your show is NOT a representation of black peoples opinions.
She’s waaaay over the top with the “black people” are thinking this and that. I really don’t like her takes. It’s a little too much.
Nobody is going to vote for Harris who would not otherwise vote for Biden.
The fact that a VP would not be the hands down runner up, speaks volumes to how messed up the Dems are. If there were a valid VP, this should not be a discussion point!
I'm black and I would never vote for Kamala Harris. I want someone with substance and someone that would stand for our people she's your normal corporate Democrat. That's something of this country does not need right now
@WisdomGiven, just remember, ANY non-vote for whoever the Democratic nominee is, is a vote for Donald Trump. (FACT: 10% of those who voted for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primary, voted for Trump in the general election, thus securing him being elected president, although Sen. Clinton received 3 million more popular votes.)
@@melvinreed4136 that just tells you how unpalatable Hillary Clinton is. If democrats want to win the need to show up.
@@WisdomGiven nobody should ever attach the value of a candidate to their identity. The moment we do that as a people is the moment we make concerns for democracy and making sure the right person is in the job secondary. Are their moments where someone’s identity lines up with also being the right person. Of course. But we shouldn’t act like this is always the case. I don’t think Lincoln would have ever become president under those circumstances as he looked homeless when he first made his pitch to the nation. I hope enough democrats and independents learn this and quick
They’re all corporate Democrats. Besides, what this country doesn’t need right now is Trump winning the election, becoming a dictator with complete immunity, and implementing his Project 2025 Plan. THAT’S WHAT WE DON’T NEED.
Let's see what percentage of black women agree and would still come out. Cenk says word salad and provides no recent examples. I don't think she is economically progressive enough but have not seen this word salad.
The African American community does NOT rock with Kamala like that. What is this lady talking about?
@lilxnation4283 That's BS. She is in office because of her support in the African American community. These fake black people on here is pathetic.
Sharon hasn't learned a thing.
Cenk: "Lets find out who the strongest candidate is."
Sharon: "No. Give it to Harris."
That's the shit that led to this mess to begin with, Sharon.
As a Black person Harris is a NO! Where has she been, what has she done? Biden is also a NO, I'm definitely not voting for Trump so democrats need to do something and FAST!
Kamala isn’t a FBA black woman and has a terrible record with the black community in California. Kamala is a terrible candidate.
Sharon is the type to vote simply for skin color.

I am black and I won't vote for Kamala Harris! I know many black men & women who are considering voting for Trump because they are disgusted with Biden & Harris!! I'm sick of identity politics! I am so fed up with people acting like all black people are the same! We are not all the same. The guest host was very insulting. I am the first person in my family born in the USA. I love my country and my state. I used to be a Republican. Then became a progressive. Now I am an Independent. My parents have been center left mostly voting for Democrats. I don't blindly follow any party.
That's Bullshit!!!
She’s speaking for black women who hold a world view that begins and ends with their race & gender.
Speaking as a black man, the conversations surrounding Kamala are nauseating. We have to move past identity politics. They don’t benefit black people
Well said, sir. As another Black man, I wholeheartedly agree with you.
Amen..
She is literally putting Race in front of freedom. The strongest candidate should be chosen by the people, and if that is Kamala, then so be it, but I think the people should make that choice!

I agree. What has Kamila done? She has resources at her disposal, yet has yielded What?
"People who look like me..." Are we not saying "black people" anymore?! 🤔
@@inwardlyThoughts I guess not.
“Picking her without testing her”? She was tested. She has been in the public eye for more than a decade, and she’s terrible.
As a Black man, I call BS on what Sharron is saying. Kamala was never a strong candidate, and whether due to her own shortcomings or the Biden administration's actions, she is simply not ready. This highlights a significant issue within the Democratic Party: the overemphasis on identity politics. Watching Obama become the first Black president was an amazing moment, but right now, we don't need to focus on identity. We need the best possible cabinet to defeat Trump.
If the Democrats were smart, they would have elected Biden and chosen a stronger VP with the intention of positioning them to take over in four years. Additionally, they should have been laying the groundwork to make the party younger, more successful, and more energized.
Thank you. Each person is their own person, and she is not allowing for that at all, which is completely racist. Look at how people feel about Michelle Obama. They love her! She's black. Look how people feel about Kamala. They dislike her. Colour of their skin does not factor into it.
I agree! Nobody is impressed with the performance of Kamala Harris as VP and this has nothing to do with the color of his skin; too often, we only get "word salad" from her mouth. 🤦♂
A black VP, no problemo, but there were better alternatives to Kamala Harris.
There was no problem with Barack Obama, he had the qualities for the job.
Why would any black man elect this woman look at her district attorney track record against innocent black men they were put away for the least crimes
She ain’t Black 😂
Who cares what you look like. That’s why the party won’t win.
Exactly , Democrats are retards
As a Black Woman, I 💯 percent disagree with it. We should not pick Kamala Harris. She was chosen as VP for optics. It's almost like everyone forgot the democrat debates in 2020. This has nothing to do with her race or gender, she is just not the best candidate. I'm sure she has "grown into the job," but I feel like there is a reason she has been sidelined. She opens her mouth and becomes a liability. Also I don't think she will win. Maybe if she came out and proves herself to a better candidate I would change my position. But as it stands she ain't it.
Very fair comment.
@@thereissomecoolstuff she raised her hand for MFA and then went right over to sit with msnbc and said she isn't for MFA. Would be a good Idea to start leading instead of being lead by the guy losing his mind.
@@bangheadhearagain She is endemic of the new leadership in govt and business. More concerned about polls and supporting the party than doing what’s right for the people. It’s very sad. Remember to she is being mentored by forces that are running the country. Brother Joe isn’t running the show. She will be beholden to that group as well.
Black women will vote for a Democrat no matter what.
@@Shaydoereme I'm seeing a lot more pragmatism from Black women than Sharon seems to think exists, thank god. Let's get behind Harris if she *shows* she's the best candidate, in a convention where she starts with a big advantage and most of the campaign money. If she bombs again like in 2020, at least we will have the chance to redirect. That seems pretty fair to me.
This is what happens when you put immutable characteristics over talent and competence.
What is this "pass her over" talk? There should not be a "line" to be President. What are we talking about here?
It probably has to do with the presidential line of succession in which the VP is always next in line. Plus, it would be kinda azz if they didn't throw her name out there, because she's the VP. Even if they have no intention of having her in the position, they would still have to put her name out there for looks.
It's like if a potus passes. It goes to the vice.
Because she was a DEI hire under qualified for the position..they only got her is to get the black vote
As a Black woman, that's very sad. I want an open convention, and I want the best candidate. Give her a shot, but don't give her the nomination. I'm already over it. Stop already with the identity politics and do what we need to do to keep DJT out of the freaking White House. Please all my fellow Americans, particularly those of African descent, use your heads for more than a hat rack.
EXACTLY💯🎯👏🏿
As a black woman, I would not vote for Kamala, and Sharon doesn't speak for all black people 😒. If Harris is not picked I'm quite sure black peope will not be bothered, given she's a pandering cop...she has to pander to the community she's technically a part of, and that says a lot.
No one speaks for all people in a group that large. The question is how many do share that thinking , and, if so, would or could they be brought around?
@hillsane9262 I agree. I haven't met many black women in these streets for Kamala, but I'm sure there's a small group floating around. The fear tactics by Sharon and others are sad, IMO. There's a need for a better marketing strategy
Sharon just admitted she's voting strictly based on identity politics.
Shes saying that black people will only vote for a black person. So much for qualifications.

I am a black woman and I will not vote for Kamala Harris. I feel that she is a big disappointment. Most black women I know don’t like her.
Sorry, I don't buy the "it's Kamela's turn to be an empty suit" argument. Are you seriously suggesting that 'looking like me' sufficiently qualifies her to be president? ...laughable.
Thank u!! And I'm a Black woman... this woman cannot even complete a coherent sentence!!😮
Open debates with qualified candidates.
Yea as a black person, I'm not interested nor have I ever been interested in voting for Kamala Harris. She's one of those multi-racial individuals who's situationally black when it benefits her. Shoot, She's more Indian than she's even black; her mom's full Indian, largely raised by her mom and her dad's biracial. And it shows with how she engages with black people; She panders to black people worse than Hillary Clinton.. but because she can claim to be black, those who dont pay much attention to politics (or look into her questionable career regarding black people) let her pass.
Overall we need to be much more analytical about who we vote for, not even just with Kamala, but all together. The fact that most people dont do much of any homework before voting or pay much attention to politics to begin with is exactly how we got here.
Shoot, if democrats wanted to still play Identity Politics with the whole thing, as much as a reach it may be, urging Michelle Obama to save america would be a far more advantageous and effective move than going with Kamala lol. She's far more charismatic and likeable, significantly less baggage, has more of the obama nostalgia the DNC tried to milk with Biden, and wont have to lean on the racist one-drop rule. And I'd be hard pressed to believe she'd be anywhere near as bad for the country as either Biden or Trump.
Honestly I know theres no way he's going to win, but I'm voting Cornel West. Voting Republican is voting for corporation and racist insanity, and voting for democrats is voting for corporations and a deteriorating status quo that only pretended to like you. Neither party represents their voters, and they're tired of pretending that they do.
She identifies as black. Aren’t we the party of allowing people to choose how we identify??
I agree.
Agreed...except that her father is Black. This 'biracial' classification for every "light skinned" Black person is a contemporary social restructuring, often with malevolent reasons to "whitewash" ugly history.
Black folks have to stay with Harris. Melanin demands it! 😂😂😂
@@hdlc4635 Her dad literally has a white mom and black father. Biracial means you're of two races, knowing that isnt malevolent or whitewashing. And not every light skin black person is biracial; we definitely come in multiple complexions even in africa without having multiple races within us. Acknowledging the severe level of racism The One Drop Rule was made with and still is, and choosing not to subscribe to it is rejecting malevolently racist social restructuring.
Cenk is right. The Biden team shouldn't have picked Kamala as his VP. They should have picked someone who did better in the primaries. Kamala was destroyed by Tulsi Gabbard and dropped out in December.
They dropped out before their home state primary (California) in which they were not going to win. She is not liked in her hometown or home state.
Kamala for KAREN IN CHIEF!!!
harris is 1/2 indian + 1/4 Irish + 1/4 Jamaican black. She can't be called black/asian as someone who is only 25% black. At least mention that she is as white Irish as she is black.
Thank you for saying that! The fact that Black people are so quick to claim anyone who is PARTIALLY Black as "one of them" shows they still haven't gotten over the slave mentality. They are okay with half measures. In no other area of life would they allow something that is a mixture of two or more characteristics be sold to them as purely having one of those characteristics.
Suppose they went to go and buy a car, and the outside of the car had a Mercedes body, but the engine wasn't a Mercedes one, but was replaced with a Toyota engine. Would they be okay with a salesmen selling them this hodge podge of a car as a Mercedes? Of course not! They would rightly call it fraud.
Presenting Obama or Harris as Black is just as fraudulent!
Black men do not claim her
@@alphacauseYou’re completely stupid if you think most black people claim her. Not sorry.
Kamala left the primary with 3% approval, after switching her stance on Medicare for all 3 times in two weeks. She debates very poorly, and was pushed on voters after meeting with the money bundlers in the Hamptons a year before the primary that she lost so spectacularly. I wish she had the chops to do the job, but her career has been artificially supported by party politics. Overlooking her failures and incapabilities is as bad as overlooking her for her sex or her familial background.
Could we pass a law to force retirement at 75 for all public officials? This is nuts!! Our government has turned into a nursing home.
Government retirement should be the same as private sector retirement.
Ageism looks good on you
A buddy of mine and I were wondering how those senator hearings in Washington smelled with all those old folks gathered in one place.
70s is too old. 69 cap
@@AdamtheRed- isn't the retirement age for most private sector jobs either when you drop dead?
She locked up black mothers plz Sharon don’t speak for us
Her history is a game stopper for her! She couldn’t even win her home state!
And Biden can’t even win his home town. Not making a point or trying to argue. Just throwing it out there for fun.
I don't think Kamala would win. It needs to be a much better candidate.
No one likes The Kackler.
Don’t let the black woman intimidate you Genc. They need an open primary giving everyone a chance and if Kamala wins bc she is the best then great.
Please stop generalizing the thoughts and opinion of every black person! I’m sick of it!
America isn't passing over black candidates. We just had a black President for 2 terms. Remember Barack Obama? I do. I voted for him 2x because I felt he was competent. Suddenly, because we had a black President a few years ago, all our candidates must be black? What bull. I will not vote for Kamala.
Obamas first term was my first time voting. I didn’t vote for him because he was black I voted for him because of his policies. I’ll never understand how race or gender could be the most important factor in giving a vote.
If it's her I'm voting for Trump.
She's the only candidate that would make me vote for Trump, I don't like her at all.
She is Asian not black
She can't pass up an opportunity to claim racism. This is a perfect example of why DEI and picking people for positions based on race and gender do not work. Either democrats have to follow the own policies that they have created for everybody else to follow, or they admit the policy isn't correct. It's quite a dilemma. I would hope that maybe this makes them realize it isn't the best way of picking anything, but I doubt it. When you are as shameless as the woman was and admitting you want the position and don't care if you earn it by just being a prop, there isn't much hope. Personally, I would have been embarrassed knowing I got the position not on merit, but bc of my gender or race, but I guess I come from a different time
@@Dmetz414 I disliked her behavior during the 2020 riots. She supported that rioting and looting from those people and then tried to publicly solicit donations for their legal defense. It's an outrage. I couldn't believe Biden picked her for VP. I understand Jill Biden dislikes her for the same reasons - playing the race card against Joe during the Primaries.
Since then Kamala has shown a lack of capability for handling America's problems and for handling even simple, basic public relations duties.
I've considered trying to ignore one of those shortcomings, but two is just too big of an ask for me to help vote her into the Presidency. Enough is enough.
It was black men who was the most out spooken against her for good reason so no we won't care if they don't pick her
this women is ridiculous
Wonderful, the race card should pick our next president. What a joke
So, you would vote Kamala because Kamala looks like you? Otherwise you won't vote.
Can't believe what I am hearing.
No identity politics please.
Surely you jest.
Identity politics is all they know.
This is what Demographic Party voters wanted! Now, they're gonna get it ... GOOD AND HARD!
I know. Its no different than "If you don't support Israel, you're an antisemite"
@@sabymondal Who cares what candidates look like? What counts is whether they are exceptional unifiers, whether they they have a singular vision to get things done, whether they are good communicators and decent people. It is what is in their minds and hearts, not what they look like. Bless Cenk for speaking his mind on this, though I think he should have gone further. We all need to find the moral conviction to put this case as forcefully and eloquently as we can, instead of cowering every time race and gender is used as a tool of power.
@@tradfluteman Agree
Imagine if someone say I vote Trump because he looks like me.
Kamala’s first assignment was to solve the border crisis, and she did not do that!!
Who has?
@@Lola-mt1ne UNIPARTY = REPUBLICANS & DEMOCRATS = print money, inflation = forever wars, risk of nuclear war
KENNEDY = balance the budget, diplomacy
@@Lola-mt1ne Trump did.
She thinks borders is the defunct bookstore.
@@Lola-mt1ne Trump
It's not just "people who look like you." MNy of us have long had enough of this nonsense. The identity politics game is a HUGE part of the problem.
She doesn't want a want a border wall either 😎
Highly disagree with Sharon. We’ll get the Democrat votes but wont get the independent/centrist votes if we have Kamala. She has shown complete incompetency in her role as VP
The folks who decided Biden was the BEST choice as president also decided that Kamala was the BEST choice as vice president.
Why are those folks still deciding anything?
I thought this was about who's best for our country. Not whose party is going to be in power. Harris and Biden are not the answer.
You’re right: it should always be about what’s best for the country and its citizens; not about “elites” remaining in power. The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves right now with how this is all playing out. It was never meant to be this way. We could have stayed in England under a monarchy if it was only about keeping the elites in power and controlling the population.
Poor Kamala. Isn't she just almost cute? Never mind that. You must be smarter than a box of rocks to be President. Period.
So black voters would be offended if we don’t automatically choose a black woman as a candidate simply because she’s the current VP, even though she has never been elected through a democratic process?
That is what would happen if the vp was white?
Yes, exactly that. This is what happens when you use identity politics, people feel entitled that the politicians have to be their identity. Black voters feel entitled that a black person should be the candidate, and why shouldn’t they? The dems bent over backwards to make kamala harris VP when she was not qualified and they announced they’d put a black woman on the supreme court even before interviewing/reviewing candidates.
What as a black man ant no way I’m offended if they pass Harris😂😂😂 what a joke being a vice president is the best audition to show that you can be a president and she’s failed miserably as a vice president. If she wins the delegates then it’s fair game compete and you’re scared she can’t compete
I’m black and I won’t vote for Harris. Not only will she not beat Trump, she won’t do anything for black people.
Keep up your positivity!
Michele Obama is the only democrat, if she runs, that is 11 points above trump in polls!!!!!!!!
11 points and she hasnt announced her bid yet!
If i was waiting on someone who "looked like me" to make decisions, id never do anything. Im so tired of this race, identity nonsense. I wish we would love and respect each other enough to look past these superficial differences. Stop labeling yourselves. It's so ridiculous. This check-the-box system is so broken. 😢😢😢
I agree with you 100%!
Harris should not have been the vp choice.
WHY CANT THE BEST AND MOST QUALIFIED PERSON RUN??!?!
@megomyeggo Because the Demographic Party hates its voters, and hates the USA.
That is why, and it is obvious.
@@megomyeggo He is. His name is Donald Trump.
Sharon shouldnt be mad at what is currently transpiring. She should be mad that Democrats didnt get a primary.
Please don't pick the giggling, word-salad merchant !
Im a BM and I wouldn’t vote for Harris 😂😂
Here we go again with identity politics
@@cachi-7878 That is ALL that is important to the Demographic Party.
I'm black and I say that Kamala should be allowed to run in the open primary with everyone else. THIS IS NOT GAME OF THRONES!...we don't just hand the presidency over to someone who was appointed. She has to run to be the nominee like EVERYONE ELSE !
Sharon is done. She can’t even be objective.
Oh no no no. Please no kamala harris. No
Racist?
Sexist?
Both, typical progressive
As a black man I agree with the top comment
And we don’t claim Kamala Harris #Facts
Harris Word Salad 2024. After hearing Harris talk for 30 seconds, voters will think that Biden made more sense.
I really do wonder what is wrong with, because it's something, has she had stroke, autism there's something not right there
@@mgm8822 when she cooked senator jeff sessions the word salad made him choke 😜
Kamala's answer after being chosen to deal with the "border crisis" was to stand in front of a podium and say "Don't come". Need I say more?...because she sure didn't.
I am black and I don't want a person just because they are black!! I want the person that can win!!
She's not black... South Asian Bhramin... they're calling her that to get votes.
No she is NOT qualified.
Reasonable people won't opt out of voting solely because Harris isn't the nominee. Unreasonable people want what they want and don't consider the bigger picture. The implication that all black people will be unreasonable about this election is insulting.
