Kamala Harris' DNC speech was historic. Now let's stop obsessing over women's 'baggage.'

On Wednesday, Sen. Kamala Harris took the (digital) stage on Night 3 of the Democratic National Convention and delivered what may have been one of the most important speeches of her career. But analysis of her speech accepting the vice presidential nomination is likely to come with a very specific qualifier. Unlike with her onetime rival Sen. Elizabeth Warren, pundits haven't zeroed in on her "likability" — for Harris, it's all about "baggage." Indeed, within hours of Joe Biden's announcing his selection of Harris as his running mate, the murmurs began.

Instead of emphasizing baggage, which essentially all candidates have, we should weigh the people who are vying for our votes the way many Democratic primary voters decided to weigh Joe Biden: by examining their records in full, considering the good and the bad in context and determining whether or not their policy proposals are the best path forward.

In other words, don't look at her past, just look at her future.  See how great she is?  She's just soooooooo awesome!  Record-breaking!  First (insert racist descriptor of your choice) to ever!  Vice President!  First ever!

Ignore Kamala's baggage. Focus on Trumps baggage. It's the only way to achieve equality.

Her dad was black (from Jamaica) and her mom was Indian (IT not casino).

So she can EITHER claim to be Indian-American or African-American (sort of) when it suits her.  She is like a racial chameleon.

Her dad is maybe half black. His family was one of the largest slave holders in Jamaica

Rules for thee and all that...

Dems and their favorite cancel culture can seek to demolish and discredit long dead and buried figures based on one belief or action, while non-ironically saying that the misdeeds and crimes of their current heroes should be "understood in context", or "considered as a small piece of the whole."

What a joke.

This sounds suspiciously like a reason Trump voters have for voting the way they do.  By all means, however, continue to emphasize that he's an asshole like that's not already baked in.

All that is just a shot across the bow of anyone that plans to point out her baggage that they will be crucified by the leftist media. Sort of in the same vein that anything in The Hafrican's past, when brought up, was decried as "racist" (tm) by the dems and their media lackeys.

Thank goodness Trump's give a shit meter is broken at 0 because the milquetoast GOP sure won't step over the line just like they were afraid to when The Halfrican was in office.

The good thing is that she'll never be a viable candidate for any higher office (governor of CA maybe).  No more presidency/vice presidency for that PoS after 2020.

I don’t think it helps our side to blather on about her being “not black” or whatever

she’s a nasty libtard who got spanked in the DNC debate by Tulsi Gabard

if she can’t handle that, she’s not ready to be VP


i think a better plan of attack is to hammer her record and views on current issues

creepy joe might win, but I doubt he can last 4 years, so we need to vote against them in force

can you imagine that cunt as commander in chief
