“I would never, ever say that I regret supporting the first Black woman vice president, ever. But the disappointment is real,” said one self-described former member of the #KHive, who requested to speak anonymously so as not to alienate themselves from friends made through the movement. “I was obsessed with the idea of this person who could undo the systemic, the systematic racism and sexism and heterosexism in government with one fell swoop, and now I’m thinking to myself, did I just make up a person in my head who could do those things?”
It's not? Just think of how many young women BIPOC are inspired by her election. They know it can be done. It's fun to dunk on Kamala but this is very real.

Those young BIPOC women are slightly to the left of Kamala and this means the Democratic party will spend millions to make sure they stay unelected
I think any benefits of that, are undone by seeing the first BIPOC vice-president be a useless vapid genocide-enabling shithead.
Same as with Obama. On paper it's inspiring, but then he was just like every white president, and worse than most.
It has the opposite effect: disenfranchising people of color even further and making them believe that only the shittiest among their community, and the most willing to sell out, can reach the highest echelons. Which, of course, is true
