MODERATORS
This more or less sums it, there are differences between why the right and left might dislike her (ex. I'd say there's an element of misogyny and racism on the right mixed in with valid criticisms).
But fundementally, she's phony. And people are kind of over phony politicians. And more importantly she's not any good at being phony. You have people like Biden who are just as full of shit, but he has a schtick that works on a lot of people to give the impression that he's this worldly, aviators-wearing grandpa who's gonna "give it to you straight, Jack" yadda yadda.
Kamala, by contrast, has no real convincing schtick like that, her mannerisms are overly polished and practiced, so she just looks like another empty suit.
I'm not going to argue that some of the dislike she receives isn't due to racism or misogyny. There has to be an element of that.
But yes, phony is the perfect word.
I don't even get that from Biden. He just seems so fake from the get-go.
(Next part is irrelevant and only opinion.) But I'd rather go into the ground by someone sneaky and quiet than by an arm-flailing maniac screaming and yelling as I get beaten down into the hole lol.
