“Kamala is a Cop” memes and shit is not “legitimate criticism.” Lawyers gonna lawyer. AG is a common way to get into politics. Whatever. I don’t love everything about her but will I take her over literally anyone involved in the Trump administration, ten times over? YES.

It might, for sure, but I really do think that the GOP is scared right now. If all they’re hitting Kamala with is “radical leftist”—the same thing they’re hitting Joe with—I think they’re looking a little weak.

We figured that our audience would be in on the joke that the entire way this has been covered has been silly.

Right, why aim for credibility among your readers when you know it’s a lost cause? Double-standards and rationalizations are more appropriate for this site.

It was made weirdly melodramatic by the media and by social media. It was not inherently weird or melodramatic. Camera crews didn’t follow Joe Biden around on meet and greets with his short list. Rather, as soon as he announced he’d pick a woman as a VP, other people sexualized the selection process with disturbing…

Thank you for pointing this out. It’s shenanigans like this that are the reason why I only visit Jezebel once in a blue moon. 

I like Harris’ executive experience, and Abrams was only a state legislator. Being a DA, then an AG, then a Senator is great background for being a (hopefully) Shadow President.

I’ll be honest, I almost feel Harris was probably the nightmare pick for the Trump/Pence campaign. I mean sure they are going to lean heavily on the racism aspect, but that was happening anyway, but Harris is a strong presence who polls well, is a really good public speaker, has really shined during recent Senate…

Buttigieg also got this too. Apparently being gay in Indiana and the military is, like, not even really being a minority.

Welp, I think that’s tone deaf & missing the bigger picture. I say fuck those who want to pull that shit on this black woman - child of immigrants - who worked her ass off to become the Attorney General of California. 

She’s not my fave (not progressive enough), but she’s supremely competent and it’s been disappointing (but unsurprising) at the blatant misogynoir she’s been facing. She’s a solid choice and if nothing else, I love how much it’s going to piss off Trump and Pence. FSM, if there’s a VP debate (who knows because End Times…

This is very sadly on-brand for Jezebel’s coverage of Kamala Harris.

Joe Biden isn’t a Boomer; he’s of the  Silent Generation (which has never produced a president before). We actually skipped the silent gen (JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and GHWBush were all “GI Generation”; Clinton, GWBush and Trump were Boomers, and Obama was Gen X. This is the first time we’re going BACK TWO…

In my opinion, the problem with Ms. Abrams is lack of experience. I am impressed by her and hope she has a long career in politics. Once she has some experience she might make a great president.

That’s why Nikki Haley bought all that popcorn!

She’s big mad because Bernie didn’t win.

I mean the snarky headline and the overall meh write up is not a great sign. 

yeah, this is not cute

Okay, so can we get a promise from Jezebel not to tank her and Biden both with the “Kamala is a cop” stuff?! Lots riding on this ticket, folks.

When the LA Times published, “It’s ‘The Bachelor: Campaign Trail.’ Which of Biden’s veep candidates deserves the rose?,” they deservedly received a lot of backlash for publishing such a sexist piece. They even apologized. I’m disappointed to see this trope used again here.
