Democrats are excited about Harris and as of this writing she's raised 100 million dollars since Biden announced he was dropping out and throwing his support behind her.
Quote
"Republicans, I worry, vastly underestimate Kamala Harris. They don't think very highly of her. They don't think she's terribly bright. When you or I bring up Kamala Harris' name in Republican circles, people laugh. It's immediately a punchline," Cruz said Monday on his podcast "Verdict with Ted Cruz."
Cruz warned against Republicans preemptively celebrating a Trump-Vance win months out from the election, arguing Democrats and the media will promote Harris as an "historic" candidate.

It's disrespectful and annoys POC that someone who uses their "comfortable language and dialects" to pander and patronize them.
Kamala Harris IS a POC, she's using her dialects and language. You call it patronizing when all she's doing is finding commonality with groups of people. It's exactly like Trump using the language and code language of racists and authoritarians. Pandering is what we see when Trump is trying to convince Christians to vote for him.

Yeah....right.... LOL
The only people who care about her race are the left democrats that try to exploit it.
That's funny. Trump actually said outputs that Harris just suddenly became black one day and that she was being disrespectful. If he didn't care about her race, why did he blow up the media cycle with that ridiculous claim? Why did he keep talking about it in other venues?

Your gas lighting skills are weak.
Good point. It's not just left wing liberals that care about her race. How many times has a prominent Republican or newscaster called her a "DEI candidate". So they seem as focused on her race as the left.
Then there's the tired old story that Megyn Kelly of Fox News (that it comes from a successful woman is extra vile to me) and others resurfaced about her sleeping her way into politics. So they are obsessed with her gender and sex life as well.

No. He pointed out that her multiheritage seems to be highlighted according to how she and some dems can exploit it...
DO you really believe that what he meant was she magically changed her race? Like overnight? Really?
Then again, I guess it's possible to change your gender from hour to hour so maybe that was what he was going with? LOL

Women who sleep with people to advance their careers are just using the patriarchy and turning the tables on toxic masculinity. So they are are actually social justice feminist.
Some believe DEI is necessary to provide equity . So why is calling her a DEI hire a bad thing?

Nah. I watched the event as it was happening. Trump definitely said that Harris suddenly turned black. I get that you are trying to explain it all away by suggesting that Trump is just pointing out how Harris is trying to exploit her multiracial heritage.
I have no idea what Trump really meant if Trump wasn't intending to be critical of how a woman of color represents herself. Trump is a mentally ill racist and bigot and I can't possibly know what he meant when he says crazy things like that. I mean, it's not like he already doesn't believe and repeat some delusional things on the regular.
Honestly though, what qualifies Donald Trump to voice an opinion on the ethnicity of his opponent? Why did he think it was a good idea to question Harris's ethnicity at an event for black journalists? Why not talk about policy? Maybe Trump can't help himself and he also doesn't really have any policy to outline.
To be fair, Trump was at the National Black Journalists association when he said what he said. So race obviously was an issue there (where he claimed he's the best President since Abraham Lincoln for black people) and he didn't bring it up. The very competent reporter did. He later attacked the reporter and was belligerent about her questions.

"I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't, because she was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she went – she became a Black person,” he said at the National Association of Black Journalists convention. "I think somebody should look into that too.”

I can't tell you how to interpret it. Clearly he thinks she's exploiting her black heritage now when in the past she didn't. I haven't paid much attention to her but he claims he didn't know she was black? Actually I thought she was only black and it was only when she was campaigning and I got to know her that I read up on her Indian heritage.
It's a false narrative as clearly Mrs. Harris has never denied her blackness and widely has been preferred to as a Woman of Color moreso than an Indian woman only. So again, as usual he's making stuff up.
Her immigrant heritage, both African and Indian has really shaped who she is today. Yes, democrats are going to acknowledge that if she wins she will be our first female president, second person of color. It is a big deal. But it's not like that's their only ace in the hole. Her not being Trump is.
Maybe also she downplays her heritage because she wants to be known for her accomplishments and not a DEI candidate for "some dems to exploit" and for republicans to criticize.
You just talked about Kamala Harris supposedly eating a bag of Doritos, so emotionally charged after hearing this,” she said to host Sean Hannity. "That's the commander-in-chief, potentially, that's the emotional response of the leader of the free world is to binge-eat a bag of Doritos? Are you kidding me?”
She continued: "Can you imagine Putin, how he deals with things? Chugging down a bag of Sour Patch Kids because he's depressed about something not going his way? Or back in the day, Soleimani — what is he binging on Funyuns?”
I saw this picture on social media and looked up the context. It seems very petty.
But a response from someone won the internet about her buying Doritos the other day, "I'd rather vote for someone that eats Nacho Cheese Doritos than someone that looks like he rolled around in them". Petty.
Other people are saying her admitting to a binge eat makes her more relatable. It seems like her critics are grasping at anything, reminding me of when Obama wore a tan suit. Earth shattering.

That's an interesting take on social justice feminism but it doesn't apply to Harris, which is my point. It's a false narrative about her.
Don't ask me if a DEI hire is a bad thing, as I'm generally okay with it. Ask the Republicans who throw it out as an insult why it's a bad thing. Oh wait it's because a white man, as is our entire history, didn't get it because she's minority and not as qualified as white men who weren't even considered and discriminated against.

I mentioned before that these weird attacks from Trump sychophants are going to continue as long as candidate Trump has no actual strategy for campaigning against Harris. Without direction from Trump, the criticism and attacks on Harris will reflect the values and beliefs of his voting base while demonstrating their relative ignorance of who she really is and what she believes in.

Racists and misogynists always assume that a woman, especially a woman of color, attains positions of power or authority because a man gave it to her in exchange for sexual favors. It sounds like you fall into the category of people who make those assumptions about women of color and that you don't really understand why that's bad. You assume that POC can't possibly be a well qualified candidate and must be a lesser choice, as evidenced by your actual words.

Kamala Harris IS a POC, she's using her dialects and language. You call it patronizing when all she's doing is finding commonality with groups of people. It's exactly like Trump using the language and code language of racists and authoritarians. Pandering is what we see when Trump is trying to convince Christians to vote for him.
