American gen Z voters share how they feel about Kamala Harris’s presidential bid, why they like or dislike her as a candidate and whether they think she could beat Donald Trump, as the vice-president races towards winning the Democratic nomination for November’s election.
‘I think she’s just what we need’
“I think [Kamala Harris] is the only one that makes sense. She will get the votes Biden couldn’t. She could get the Black, Asian, Latino, women’s, LGBTQ+ and youth votes. She stands more for progress and equality than an old white dude and if she wins it will be historic. The Democrats need a bold move and I think she’s just what we need.

These people are voting. Biden is no longer the candidate. You no longer have to lecture people into voting for him.
These people are saying they are going to vote. Everyone needs reminding of the consequences of a second Trump term. Also, the “Kamala is a cop” narrative is also in full swing.
Lecturing people who are already excited to do what you want is a great way to piss them off. But given a choice between being self-righteous scolds and winning, Democrats will choose sanctimony every last time.
Unlike you, who is not giving any self righteous lectures about the DNC at all, right?
I’m glad the DNC listened. The prevailing attitude from centrists on this thread is “Oh my GOD, is nothing good enough for you?!” when it’s obvious that for the people in the article, Kamala is.
Good for attracting Republicans?
I’m sure that will get balanced out by all the “back the blue” conservatives lining up to support her, right?
…right?
