American gen Z voters share how they feel about Kamala Harris’s presidential bid, why they like or dislike her as a candidate and whether they think she could beat Donald Trump, as the vice-president races towards winning the Democratic nomination for November’s election.

‘I think she’s just what we need’

“I think [Kamala Harris] is the only one that makes sense. She will get the votes Biden couldn’t. She could get the Black, Asian, Latino, women’s, LGBTQ+ and youth votes. She stands more for progress and equality than an old white dude and if she wins it will be historic. The Democrats need a bold move and I think she’s just what we need.

“I hope the Democrats realize what an opportunity this is for them.” Will, 22, construction worker from Portland, Oregon

    If you want politicians to listen to you, try voting in the primaries.

    Please don’t gloat that the primaries have had a preordained winner for every presidential race since 2012. Particularly not when the most recent preordained winner had to step down, to the acclaim of the vast bulk of the party.

      and BotH Sides aRe ThE SAme, right?

      If you’re going to tell people not to vote, try coming up with an actual alternative action.

        I did not say that people should not vote, or that both sides are the same. You lost the argument and you’re strawmanning. The shitty preordained candidate you wanted stepped down. We have a better candidate now.

          You said that the primaries were fixed.

          If I misunderstood you, it’s because you weren’t clear.

              How is it not your fault?

              It’s your job to write clearly. If someone makes an honest mistake, it’s the fault of the speaker.

              Also, you claimed the primaries were rigged without giving any actual proof; by your own logic you’re the one making false accusations.
