American gen Z voters share how they feel about Kamala Harris’s presidential bid, why they like or dislike her as a candidate and whether they think she could beat Donald Trump, as the vice-president races towards winning the Democratic nomination for November’s election.
‘I think she’s just what we need’
“I think [Kamala Harris] is the only one that makes sense. She will get the votes Biden couldn’t. She could get the Black, Asian, Latino, women’s, LGBTQ+ and youth votes. She stands more for progress and equality than an old white dude and if she wins it will be historic. The Democrats need a bold move and I think she’s just what we need.

You could also say, if the Democrats had nominated a more likeable candidate in 2016, we wouldn’t be here.
Clinton got less votes than Obama in 2012 and 2008, even though the population had grown during that time.
And it wasn’t the Bernie bros who stayed home. Polling revealed that the Bernie bros showed up.
Blaming the voters is like having your bakery go bankrupt and trying to blame people for not buying your shitty cake.
First, bake a better cake.
The voters are literally the ones who picked Biden though.
I know, but we were having a conversation about 2016 and the voters didn’t pick Clinton then.
At least, not enough of them in certain swing states.
What part of “I like soldiers who didn’t get captured” and “grab them by the pussy” confused voters?
Count Dracula should have beaten Trump.
I totally blame the voters.
