Have you ever explored the roots of your misogyny?
What exactly makes you assume that I'm misogynic? The fact that I hate Harris and the squad? Did you miss how I explicitly stated that I dont have any personal qualms against Susan Rice, who presumably was the runner-up in the veepstakes and happens to trigger a lot of others on the right?

There's something sexist about the constant droning on about women who aren't likable enough. Is Trump likable? He's the most abrasive personality in the culture. Is Pence likable? He's a nice boring contrast to Trump's insanity, but not exactly Mr. Charisma.
Anyway... Biden made the smart and safe choice, as he has done most of his campaign. I'm feeling good about the pick.
Trump's appeal has never been his likability (which is non-existent), it was his outsider status, his promise to bring the fight to liberals and the paradigm shift on trade, economic, foreign and immigration policies that he embodied.
I didnt say that Harris is unelectable because she is unlikable. I simply stated that she
IS unlikable.
Additionally, I also gave more substantial reasons for my dislike of Harris across this thread. I'll repeat them: in my opinion, she embodies the hypocrisy of the current left, she embodies everything that is wrong with the Democratic party. She locked up loads of minority men over minor drug offenses (and then went out of her way to prevent them from being released early), but laughs about the her own cannabis use. She has lived a life of privilege, yet sometimes pretends like she's straight outta Compton. She likes to employ phony, heartstrings-pulling attacks on her political opponents. In terms of policy, she is both progressive and moderate in exactly the wrong fields.
