Harris as an American Cleopatra? Finally, I will see the realization of my Xi Jinping × Kamala Harris × Kim Jong Un love triangle!

Honestly Harris would be a deeply ineffective and unpopular president. The right is going to hate her almost no matter what she does, and she won't be much more popular on the left. She will mainly be liked by centrist feminists who care more that a woman is in power than they care whether that woman actually uses that power for equality and justice. Harris offers only the most vapid support for left social causes and is a ride-or-die capitalist. Even those centrists who don't mind her policy stances will be turned off by the fact that she is (in my opinion and that of many others) self-righteous and kind of annoying.

I can understand that. Honestly she could also potentially be an American Wu Zetian. :lol:
