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?

      I don’t like her because of situations like her truancy laws. If you think she’s not liked just because of her race and/or gender, then you’ll never understand why people don’t agree with her.

        I think she gets special criticism because of her race and gender. The level of hyperbole and toxicity around her is unique, though politicians like Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren experience similar extremely emotional reactions. White male politicians with controversial policies don’t get called “neoliberal” or “cop” in the same way that Kamala does; certainly some her policies are not great, but she’s not really worse than equivalent politicians, and in fact she is way way better than a whole bunch of them.

        What do Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, and Kamala Harris have in common that seems to provoke such an extreme emotional negative reaction in their critics? Why is the reaction even worse towards Kamala?

        Hmm.

      Yeah. Right. Has nothing to do with her being some neoliberal cop who has a shit record from the left. It’s because she’s black. And a woman. Got it.
