A story published in CNN implied Harris “created problems for herself,” but from afar, it looks like their sources are the ones trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.
Whenever you evaluate a politician, always consider what your values are, what their objectives are, what their commitments are, and what they do with the power given.
Remember, a politician may not have the same values as you, but if they maintain their commitments in light of their objectives, they have not violated their social contract.
None of Vice President Kamala’s critics mentioned a campaign promise that she broke or a goal she failed to meet, so why are they dragging her? Some Twitter users had stern words after reading the article about Kamala. One user said in a video, “Stop tearing down Black women.”

SNIP..
For starters, they want to diminish her current efforts as Vice President and secondly, they want to kneecap her career going forward. Remember, it’s America, and there will always be some people who come up with excuses to diminish Black women, particularly those in positions of power, and even when they are fulfilling their roles with poise and grace.
