Whys skin color so important to you? Whatever happened to picking based on merit?
I didn’t say it’s important to me , I pointed out two people who didn’t find it important to them personally . That makes 3 of us I guess . You like Trump and you think something like merit is supposed to be a serious consideration for other people ? Figures .
The difference here is that trump bet on himself and won an uphill election based on his own merits, while Harris was handpicked by Biden because apparently she's a colored woman.

It is, but today it's completely acceptable to discriminate based on gender and race if it negatively affects males or whites.
The fact that Biden specifically stated it was going to be a non-white female months ahead of time is a perfect example.
Just imagine the the fit blm would throw if trump or anyone else for that matter had publicly announced that they would handpick a white male months ahead of time

Pfft cmon, Tervor. Harris is like the female counterpart to Joe Biden when it comes to how many black people she helped lock away. She got that BIIIIG money from prisons.
Kamala Harris shouldn't be here right now. The left is insanely desperate.
Watch this video at the 3:45 mark and then ask why any sane American would allow this woman to be our president.

Are you oblivious to her record, or like her position on drugs?

I don't think BLM even gets political or involved with specific laws and policies. I mean Biden's track record is horrible for blacks in the US and Harris is no different. Do they even pay attention to those facts? I don't know.

LOL, right?
Kamala Harris is probably the most anti-Shroomery candidate possible, given her record.

In her recent book, The Truths We Hold: An American Journey, Harris reveals that her drug warrior mentality hasn't changed; it's just that her emphasis has shifted. Now she's hoping to funnel even more funds to law enforcement to "cut off the supply of fentanyl from China," and to "reinstate the DEA's [Drug Enforcement Administration] authority to go after the major pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors."

Patlal said: Thoughts on Kamala?
She's... fine. I'll vote for Biden, reluctantly. I'm frustrated with this bullshit two-party system we have going on, but I still value democracy enough to participate in it.
As for Kamala specifically, I think it's a good thing that she represents women and people of color, which is obviously an angle Biden's campaign is trying to pander to. I think it's kind of a cheap political tactic, but I also think diverse representation in our government is a positive thing, so I can't really complain. It's the sort of thing I roll my eyes about, but I'm still happy with the consequences.
In general, that's exactly how I feel about Harris: I roll my eyes a little bit about it, but I'm still ultimately okay with the final outcome. For example, for a long time earlier in her career, she opposed legalization of marijuana in California. However, she changed positions on that eventually, and is now in favor of legal marijuana. The best way to describe it is that she followed the tides of progressive change, rather than leading the tides of progressive change, and this is a pattern you can find in many other issues she's been involved with politically (mass-incarceration, etc.). To that end, I'm frustrated that we don't have someone who has, historically, been a leader for social change as the candidate, but ultimately, I'm glad that she stands where she does now.
She also comes bundled up with the typical frustrations I have with the American Democratic party right now, which is mainly that their candidates aren't left-leaning enough for me to fully support their policies. When it comes to the military and government social programs, Democrats aren't left-leaning enough for me. The mainstream candidate I supported the most at the very beginning of this election season was Bernie Sanders. I'm still sad about what could have been if we weren't so focused on beating Trump that we overlooked discussion of actual policies.
Finally, I'll say that I think that choosing Kamala Harris was an enormous risk in light of recent events: namely, the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement. Harris is a former police officer and, more recently, a state prosecutor. In other words, she participated in the systemically racist institutions that led to the uprising of BLM. I'm very concerned that this is going to hurt Biden's campaign, especially with the younger generations.
Time will tell if this was a good enough choice to win the election. Should be interesting either way

You dont seem to understand how identy politics work. She is black and a woman and nothing else matters, she could be literally Hitler and would still be the perfect fit for the current zeitgeist.
Who cares that she's basically the worst pick since criminal justice reform is what is the most pressing issue today? She's black plus female, thus awesome, just like koods cause hes gay and I'm too because I'm handicapped.
Its just about ticking as many oppression boxes as possible, while content is completely irrelevant.
