NBC News poll: Kamala Harris hits record low for VP net favorability
www.axios.com
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?

    1. She’s a democrat. that means 42% of the population automatically hate her.
    2. She’s grossly inappropriate and cackles at exactly the wrong time, and that creeps people out.
    3. She was a “tough on weed” prosecutor who became a bleeding heart liberal overnight when she got her new job. That makes her seem disingenuous.

    Just what I’ve picked up from other people, I have no feelings about her whatsoever.

        I’m not going to argue that some of the dislike she receives isn’t due to racism or misogyny. There has to be an element of that.

        But yes, phony is the perfect word.

        I don’t even get that from Biden. He just seems so fake from the get-go.

        (Next part is irrelevant and only opinion.) But I’d rather go into the ground by someone sneaky and quiet than by an arm-flailing maniac screaming and yelling as I get beaten down into the hole lol.

        But fundementally, she’s phony. And people are kind of over phony politicians.

        From “that little girl was me” to gleefully accepting the VP position under Biden. It comes off as a careerist when you rightfully condemn Biden for his past opposition to integration policies in a moment that was played up really hard and then becomes his second in command.

        Also, there’s animosity on both sides.

        From the right, she’s a Democratic, black woman.

        From the left, she’s a cop and faux progressive
