Harris wasn't progressive enough for me so I'm okay with this.
Harris is a woman, so I’m okay with this.
edit:
Oh, and because she turned black.
I personally liked her better as an Indian.
Yeah, it must be a challenge to you to realize that someone can be bicultural.
I experimented with biculturalism but that was during my college days.

-People voting for INDEPENDENT CUOMO over Democrat MAMDANI!
Status Cuomo
Who are you even talking to? Do you know what website you're on?
She represented the status quo every single person is so fucking sick of. To the point Donald Trump seemed like the better option to enough people. That's an abysmal fucking failure of, well, the status quo.
I don't think most people understood what the "status quo" was until Trump started destroying it.
Yes, "status quo" is billionaires, and monopolies, and low-level corruption, and so-on.
But, "status quo" is also civil liberties, a somewhat functional department of education, not having the national guard chasing down brown people in the street, a bureau of labour statistics that didn't invent numbers to please the dear leader, cabinet secretaries that weren't actively working to destroy the thing they were assigned to lead, low-level crony and nepo corruption and not over-the-top obvious bribery, and so-on.
