I think no candidate is a guarantee. All we can do is increase the likelihood. Right now there are two groups against Harris, Republicans being a given:
The people who denounced Biden's Presidency and claim he's done nothing, despite his rather impressive record these last four years.
Those who denounce Harris by attaching her to Biden and then complain about how she can't win and that both are bad for the county because [insert democrat party].
What we never get are reasons. The simple reality is that you may have your opinions, and the opinions I hear so often are old. A courtesy search allows you to learn a lot about any candidate and member of any party. However, I can't expect you to spend the time to learn about any of them yourself. The Dems get this much at least, and so does Harris. It's why she's pushing so hard.
Now's the time to show us why she can be President and why she can beat Trump. 2020 doesn't matter. Now does. Reasons matter.
I will just say that I am excited she doesn’t have the baggage Biden has and I am hopeful that as time goes on I will appreciate her more in her own right. I am not there yet, and I assume the person you were responding to originally was in a similar place.
She hasn’t really earned this, but she has the opportunity to prove she deserves it.
