    I think this perception of Kamala is a kind of Hexbear-bound phenomenon lol. She has a sort of charm to her because of her wine auntyness like I said elsewhere. She's not a total vacuum saltine like Pete or whatever.

    she will face racism and sexism

    Obama won two terms as president and Hillary won the popular vote lol. And the second of those two people is actually as unlikeable as Hexbear thinks she is (though even she had people who were charmed by her particular awkwardness). Idk why people here like play into the "a black woman can never be president" shit as if that itself isnt racist???? Like thats the shit the "Im KHive but i dont actually want Kamala to be president" shit are saying.

      She didn't do well in the 2020 primary. Now of course this isn't exactly the same situation as back then, but I don't see her as a strong enough candidate to safely beat Trump. Winning the popular vote isn't enough, as you yourself said.
