It does seem like the Rep's are throwing lopsided attacks, scrambling to adjust the campaign from an opponent who they can claim incompetence to one who is undeniably competent.
From watching her acceptance speech it already looks like Harris has the intelligence and fortitude to be a good leader. Americans will be watching Harris professionally address issues that concern them, or a rambling megalomaniac.
Is it because she is a woman that makes her more qualified, then what about Marjorie Taylor Green and our own Daniel Smith.
Yes more women need to be seen as leaders, it gives us more voices suitable to be candidates as effective leaders.
Unfortunately, the answer to the title of your post is “no, they aren’t”. As a former Californian, I’m a huge fan of Harris. Her childhood home was not far from where I lived in Berkeley. She’s a terrific candidate. But this election will be won or lost in the swing states and by the currently “undecideds”. The undecideds worry me because they aren’t offended enough by the criminality, sexism, and racism to rule out voting for Trump. They’re fine with it and that’s mind-boggling. That Trump has even a snowballs chance in hell is a sad indicator of the current reality in America. So unfortunately, that means Harris needs a safe and not revolutionary pick for VP. Because losing an the election but achieving a moral victory will be disastrous.
