NBC News poll: Kamala Harris hits record low for VP net favorability

Just under half, 49%, of registered voters have a negative view of the vice president.

She has some criticisms for her past as an attorney, but I’m not sure why she’s so disliked now. What has she done to engender such distaste from the public?

Well, her being a cop is self-evident, but let’s review the entire comment:

She’s a racist, classist noeliberal and a fucking cop (or close enough).

Her political career has been chock-full of attacking public institutions like schools, protecting white-collar crime which destroyed countless lives, protecting child molesters in the church, implementing policy against the poor, and protecting prison slavery. I’m not sure where exactly the confusion lies.

I would argue that, frankly, her being a neoliberal should be explained, for the sake of discussion, but her being racist and classist should be. The details of her career being “chock-full” of various acts should be coupled with specific citations to reporting of those acts. And so on.

I don’t like Harris, mind, but the comment being discussed could have established its evidence in a more convincing manner.
