    Real question, what is there to like about Harris? The more I read about her the more things I learn that I disagree with.

    It’s really hard for me to get past her pro-Israel, pro prison labor (legalized slavery) stances. I’m trying here, but I’m not seeing the good.

      I can’t tell you what to like and not like about her. Who would you like instead?

      I’d personally prefer someone like Sanders on the policies, but, as a progressive, Harris is much better than anyone I’ve had the opportunity to vote for as President, ever.

        I honestly don’t know enough about the whole gamut of politicians. I guess the two politicians I align with the most with are AOC and Bernie.

        I’m looking for a candidate who’s main concerns are dealing with the looming climate change crisis, shifting power from billionaires back to workers, and a strong anti-genocide stance.

          For all of those priorities, Harris is pretty darn close. Definitely the closest we’ve ever seen.
