It’s one thing to be loathed as a politico. Being hated is something that you can work with. It’s a human passion, at least, and so long as it’s not 100 percent universal, it’s workable.
It’s far worse to be greeted with general indifference. Which is rather the problem with Kamala Harris According to a poll by Politico and the University of California, Berkeley’s Citrin Center released Tuesday, while Harris has long been considered the front-runner if she decides to run, a group of “policy influencers” chose “indifference” as the overriding emotion they’d have if the 2024 Democratic standard-bearer decided on a 2026 run for the Golden State governorship.
The influencer sample was generated from subscribers to various Politico publications that are California-centric and geared toward wonks, including the California Playbook, California Climate and Politico Pro. (No word on how many laid-off USAID employees were in it, but I digress.)
Those who responded in both samples — general voter and policy influencer — were asked to pick from a list of emotions they’d have regarding a Harris run for the governorship, including “joyful,” “mostly excited,” “indifferent,” “irritated,” “outraged,” and “hopeless.” They were also allowed to choose other and were able to select multiple categories.
“This group of in-the-know politicos was notably blasé about the prospect of a Gov. Harris, with 36 percent choosing ‘indifferent’ to describe how they’d feel about her hypothetical bid,” Politico’s report noted.
Things were better, albeit by a matter of degrees, when they looked at the registered voters.
“Among the state’s Democrats, there was a warm response to a Harris run, with 33 percent saying they felt ‘joyful’ about her possible candidacy and 41 percent feeling ‘mostly excited.’ The negative emotions hovered in the single digits, while roughly a quarter of Democrats said they were ‘indifferent

“Loathe” is my choice
California democrats would literally vote for a pile of dogshit if it had a (D) next it’s name.
And if Horizontal loses? I see many wine boxes in her future.
If it has a D next to it, it is a pile of dog turds.
If present trends continue, even piles of dogshit will be leaving Kalifornia soon.
“Indifference” does work, in effect Kamalamama is marginalized, with diminishing name recognition in the popular consciousness. She is actually decreasing in significance, more of a liability to the Democrat Socialists than Dan Quayle was to the Republicans back in the 1990’s. Hollowed-out people, proving the Peter Principle. Promoted to the level of their incompetence.
Some people are more to be pitied than scorned.
We need to vote for her in the primary if we can. Then get that Grenell fella to finish 2nd. That way November will indicate if Calif. is finished.
That’s how slavishly devoted to their evil party they are.
Exactly.
(D)ogshit
Kamala would tell them to get down on their knees
But it ain’t about prayin’
A pile of dog crap would govern far better than any Democrat.
I think she’ll be the next governor of California.
Deep blue state + vote fraud + illegals voting.
She’s a shoo-in.
Was dumb as a brick a choice?
