      Eh. I’ll be there when AOC’s on the ballot.

      edit: FFS, y’all are trigger-happy. I’m voting like my life depends on it — because it very likely will, and anyone who thinks otherwise is selling you something. I’m forced to vote for anyone who won’t immediately deport/murder/imprison me or my community. I’ll BE THERE when AOC is on the ballot. Fucking simmer, people.

        mentioning your altogether disregard for the current election is actually not useful : )

        I too would love to vote for AOC, which is precisely why her endorsement matters to me.

        I trust her judgment enough to want to elect her, so I also trust her judgment that the best path forward right now is to support Harris.

    It would be weird for Democratic women of color to come out against a Democratic woman of color.

      While true, it should not mean they automatically support her. That’s tokenism. However, of shes got the credentials, which KH has, they would be foolish not to support her.

          They could support another candidate, however, that would show disunity. Better to band together with an acceptable candidate, at this point.

          By all accounts, she is acceptable and she was made VP knowing Biden was old and planned to step down.

          However, they should also do so knowing the establishment of the Democratic party are out if touch and have no problem pushing their own agenda even when its clear that its a bad plan. A la Biden first time, pushing out Sanders, Clinton, dumping biden second time. All against supposed principles.

      America is so racist. It’s strange.

      I would think her policy and strength as a person would be the factors worth considering.

      Please to see some of you are just thinking about casting though.
