Kamala is great, actually?

According to this article, Kamala is awesome and everyone is just too racist and misogynistic to realize it. I don't know that I agree. What do you think?
Democratic leaders want the party to stop its Kamala Harris pile-on ahead of 2024
Quote:
Harris defenders say this isn't about reassuring Americans they'd be in good hands reelecting the Biden-Harris ticket even if tragedy struck but serve the larger project of getting Americans used to something unfamiliar: A Black woman in a position of political power.
"What we have in Vice President Harris is a competent, capable, intelligent, authentic leader of color," said Laphonza Butler, a former senior aide who is now the president of EMILY's List. "People have to get comfortable seeing women, and women of color, in places of leadership, period."
...Still, despite any momentum they might feel, the issue of Biden's age continues to creep in every conversation about Harris's role.
"She'll never be a 'normal VP,'" South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn, the assistant Democratic leader in the House and a key booster of both Biden and Harris, told CNN. "My goodness, she's the first African American VP. She's the first Asian American VP. This is the first female VP, having to be normal. How can it be normal? It's never going to be normal."

I always had the thought that if I never hear about the VP after the campaign and the election, then that VP is probably doing their job as they should. So I assume Harris is doing a perfectly normal VP job.

When someone does (yet another) puff piece about you but the first quality they use is ‘competent,’ you’re a loser.

Kamala Harris is a very competent and effective center-right prosecutor turned politician. If I were an upper middle class conservative from the Caribbean, I'd be overjoyed that she was in office.
As a weed smoker, I say she can go fuck herself, forever.
