She was a prosecutor, who prosecuted a lot of drug cases that people think shouldn't have been prosecuted. Apparently.

As Veep, she doesn't appear to have done anything either reprehensible or outstanding, yet she's loathed worse than Hillary.

I don't think she's hideous. I think she is a fairly mainstream Democrat.

And, like a typical mainstream Democrat, she's eager to see racism, whether or not it's there. Likewise wiyh all the other "deplorables". She also does have a tendency toward what Stanky called "cackling word salad". She's eager to demand goverment solve every problem, just like every other mainstream Democrat.

I would vote for her above The Evil One without hesitation, and I think enough other people would too. She isn't a "safe" candidate, though. She has a strange enough mouth that I think she would stumble, multiple times.

It's a bit of a bugger when doing your job is held against you.

If you want drug cases not to be prosecuted, change the stupid fucking law, don't blame the DA.

Like Biden doesn't?

Exactly.

I decided to dig and see if I can find anything that says she's actually no good, I'm not seeing it.

The Hill made this comment, which probably sums it up:

The vice president’s supporters have long held that many of the criticisms of her carry sexist or racist overtones.

I've watched some videos that show no sign of shrieking word salad, but seem to portray a very well-spoken and thoughtful woman saying some sensible shit.

Who'd have thought Yanks would be sexist and racist?

Off the current topic, but posting this here just because.

Even when young, Biden was famous for bizarre utterances. Now of course the problem is compounded by age.

Harris is cut from the same cloth.

The problem. I have is that no one that I really like will be nominated by either party. Both parties want someone is far from center. In 2016, I wanted klobuchar. Boring. Bland. My kind of president. She was off the ballot by the time I got to vote in a primary.

I keep making the comment here that the best PM we've had in my lifetime was Jim Bolger.

He led the country for 7 or 8 years and did absolutely nothing. The ideal leader for a country - he just let the place run itself and we've never been so well off.
