"Someone like..." is an admission that the pundit is unwilling to actually make an affirmative argument for a specific person. I know why they won't do this, but I wonder if they do.

She has earned her VP title. She will certainly be a capable and dependable steward of this administration. History will be very kind to her & Joe. Voters had better realize EXACTLY what is on the 🗳 ballot. Your right to privacy- and DEMOCRACY is up for grabs.

Why do you think Joe is even running, and not Kamala? The US, for every wrong and loathful reason, is not adult enough to elect a brown woman pres. Not happening, not now... and that's why she exists but not at the top of the ticket. I supported her in '20, but for now, VP is where she's stuck.
