On the third night of the Democratic National Convention, Kamala Harris basked in the spotlight. She debuted as the other half of the Democratic ticket and formally accepted the nomination for Vice President of the United States.

Lauded for being the first black woman and Asian-American on a presidential ticket, Harris gave a sentimental and inspirational introduction to the nation. She aimed to endear herself to Americans unfamiliar with her background and whip up support among key demographics.

However, inspiration will not wipe away her tainted political career or endear black women to her corrosive policies.

Black women are the backbone of the Democratic Party.


BJ's Pull Quote:

But Blacks have heard much of this before, and are unlikely to vote for her and Joe Biden based on the historical significance of their ticket.

They did that with President Obama, and many had buyers’ remorse sitting out the 2012 and 2016 elections.
 
Could be that potential voters prefer a dash of competence along with the skin tone.
