. She trailed significantly in South Carolina, the first African American stronghold of the primary calendar and the place where she had to make a stand if she had stayed in. She didn’t even make it as far as her role model, Shirley Chisholm, did in the 1972 presidential contest; running to defeat Richard Nixon, Chisholm managed to earn votes and delegates. Harris surely did the best she could, with her philosophies and experience as a woman of color inside this racist and sexist America.
This is not to say that those candidates shouldn’t be held accountable for their records in California, Newark, and San Antonio, respectively. But Biden, the 1994 crime bill author who had clearly shown that he does not meet the antiracist standard that Democrats should be seeking in any presidential nominee going up against Trump, still enjoys a comfortable and seemingly uncritical advantage amongst black voters.
It is true that Harris and her people didn’t do enough before she launched her presidential campaign to introduce her to black electorates nationwide, eschewing the kinds of appearances on black radio and other media platforms that one has to make in order to get oneself familiarized and, more importantly, trusted. However, what she was able to represent, in her person, on the campaign trail, and on the debate stages, was indelible.
Author still doesn’t get it. Stick to music
Not
Not really
Bye Bye Horizontal Harris
Not so much
Nah
Harris was large on personality (her’s) and small on substance. That’s why she never belonged in the race to begin with.
Me, at the press, every day...
Ah, nope.
Kamala As She Left The Stage After Making Her Announcement And Realizing That Nobody Ever Really Cared About Her BS...
'Unless there is a Charlottesville or a Flint, news networks fail to understand that racial discrimination and violence are white problems to solve.'- killer line
She matters as a lesson in how empty, corporate centrist candidates who stand for nothing are not viable.
Leftists rag now?
I loved this mag growing up. Please stick to the music scene
Kamala has many like me who love her and all she stands for and I know her future is so bright in politics. Can’t wait to see her take on Trump in his Senate impeachment hearings 🙃!
She does! She has a whole state to clean up! elbowgreese sweeping scrubbing urinesoaked
Holy hell... I thought this was a terrible attempt at an onion article when I saw the headline. I did know one thing... it wasn’t Taibbi that wrote this rubbish.
Uh, no.
Officer down
Smh, lol
Mnuchin loves him some Kamala.
She’ll be a good AG
I will say this for KanalaHarris unlike her competition, she knew when she was beat and then did the honorable thing, got the hell out before wasting more contributors money.
Have you guys caught the UVA rapist yet?
LOL

Yes it matters that we prevent people like her from keeping people in prisons so that the government can use them for slave labor, never again.
tea
Yes. Some people are so evil they will argue against releasing prisoners because they need the slave labor. We should never forget.
Lol no
