Harris

Identity politics, like many things starts out with good intentions but ends up with unintended consequences. A case in point is VP Kamala Harris. Biden campaigned saying he had four Black women on his vice president list and he chose Harris. She has under performed and many would like to replace her but they are caught in the identity politics trap. Even if they found a White and/or male who was far more qualified they could not replace Harris. This problem will come to the forefront if Biden decides to step down. Polls show that Harris has a lower approval rating than Biden and less chance of defeating Trump. This poses a dilemma. If Trump will end democracy he must be defeated at all cost. Does that allow the democrats to replace a Black female with a White male if the White male has a better chance to beat Trump.
