It’s like the whole thing about women having to work twice as hard to be accepted even applies to other women and it drives me nuts.

WELP. That was a longish thinkpiece to circle around trying to rationalize not being thrilled by Harris, simply because she does not meet your Blackness and wokeness purity test. This does not surprise me at all, but I am vastly disappointed nonetheless. I am NOT sorry she is not as melanated as you want her to be.

Exactly this. I am tired of Democrats holding themselves up to an extremely high standard when Republicans literally never cease to keep lowering the bar. This is not the time for infighting. She’s the Veep. Biden is the nom. He’s sure as hell not my choice but I’m going to put my ballot in the mail the day I get it.…

It needs to be said, there is no such thing as a perfect politician. Or human for that matter. EVERYONE has a flaw of some kind. To say otherwise is dishonest. 

I can’t muster a ton of excitement about the announcement because it seemed like a foregone conclusion months ago. It’s like Biden spent months trying to drum up buzz for an announcement that was just like “Yes, we already knew.”

Or maybe too many of us have seen where this nonsense leads. 2000, 2004, 2016. 

Hilarious that we’ll vote for JOE BIDEN but Kamala Harris fails the  purity test. Good job, Jez.

Anything to depress the vote. Trump is a literal fucking fascist but eh...we’re not super excited about the Dem choice. So, you know, guess we’ll stay home and watch the downfall of America. 

Jezebel, please stop.

I like this comment. Why does Kamala have to be perfect for this to be inspiring? She is far from perfect, which puts her in the company of exactly every politician ever. Still something to cheer. 

I think it’s time Jezebel starts specifying which articles are opinion/commentary pieces and what’s a news story based on fact. This just came out like a diary entry of how the author feels about the media & public’s reaction to the VP process and not realizing they’re just feeding into it. VP’s historically don’t…

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.

These damn snowflakes always thinking they’re being targeted. 

Nikki Haley in a gesture of bipartisan unity wild stupidity.

1) I love me some Susan Rice, but she has never held elected office. Even the woefully inept Pence has held office as governor of Indiana, whereas Trump has not. Sure, Rice has worked in a couple administrations, but governance is not her wheelhouse—policy, sure, governance, no. She’d rather be rolling in the proceeds…

Kamala is right up there with Susan Rice and Warren but I would really love to see Kamala as AG. Warren would be fantastic but a Repug Gov would get to put in a replacement Sen to serve her term which works against us getting the a Senate. We MUST take the Senate in 2020. My dream of a Madame Warren as POTUS will…

Seriously... Team Marshall here, and I never thought life would come to this.

The sad thing about your comment is that it really could be anyone in Hollywood.
