      I mean, at this point, she’s polling better than him without campaigning. Once she starts campaigning those numbers will only go up. In terms of beating Trump, she’s an improvement. In terms of being an inspiring candidate with progressive ideals…I guess you could argue it’s a lateral move.

        Cool literally my only concern is beating trump tbh. Bit worried about a 2016 rerun and whatnot. Although I suppose Harris probably isn’t as wildly unpopular as Clinton? Idk

          My teenaged, properly Trump hating kid: I don’t like Harris.

          Me: Why not?

          Kid: I don’t know, I just don’t like her. She’s awful.

          Me: Do you know anything she’s done?

          Kid: No, I just don’t like her.

          Me: Have you ever even seen or heard her speak?

          Kid: … No.

          Let me tell you, the propaganda is powerful.
