Yes-let’s skip over Kamala in favor of Whitmer because she has white skin. I thought the VP was there to step in if needed. If DJT is “qualified” so is Kamala. The problem

Is America (Rs and Ds) will never relinquish white supremacy.

There's no doubt in my mind that VP Harris is qualified to be president, but I doubt that she can get elected in her own right in 2024. Keep in mind that most USians aren't aware of her accomplishments as VP, that the attack ads will be vicious, and that racism and misogyny are very real, and not just on the right.

Gina, While you couldn’t possibly know, since the 60s, my life’s work has been devoted to our increasingly becoming a more inclusive, pluralistic, democracy. Regrettably, at this most terrifying moment in our nation’s history, I see no choice but to do all I can to curb how far we’ve regressed in hopes of rebuilding.

To be clear, had your response not read as though it were directed at me personally, I likely would have appreciated it as someone who has worked tirelessly to contest every negative perception of Harris.
