4 of 17. Kamala Harris is thoroughly unlikable
The problem with Harris is that she's totally unlikable. Her few instances of talking during her vice presidency provide some examples of bizarre lizardman traits like the clip where she explains "Ukraine is a small country and Russia is a big country and Russia is invading Ukraine and that's bad" like she's describing global politics to a toddler.
Most new political candidates want to get out there and tell the world about who they are, but Harris started trying the Biden basement strategy only to discover that It isn't 2020 anymore, and people aren't going to accept an absentee political campaign. It also isn't 2016 anymore, even people who were previously on the same page of accepting the media spin at face value are much more cynical, especially living through tough times while the media breathlessly tells them about how good everything is. You can't lie about so many big things and keep most people's trust.
About half way through October, A video montage of Kamala Harris giving the same speech over and over again went viral. She's a Papier Mache candidate.
In some ways, she reminds me of John McCain and Mitt Romney. Those two may have had opinions and stances of their own at one point, but once they became the presidential candidates, they became mindless avatars of the party. Anything you might have liked or disliked about them went away because they were just the walking talking Republican party. In the same way, Kamala Harris hasn't shown any sort of personal capacity to be the chief executive. She comes off as someone who won't be leading, she'll be taking orders. Who does the president take orders from? This, combined with her status as an installed candidate by party elites suggests she'll be working for those who installed her through backroom deals, and her poor articulation of actual policies she as an individual running for president wants suggests she won't really have any.
In the end, she needed to go out there and tell America why they should vote for her, but every time she did her chances of becoming President got smaller and smaller because people realized they just didn't like her much.
