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.

Not sure who you are addressing as you're not quoting anyone.
Crusades, just above, explained what she thought was Harris's radical left agenda (predictably mentioning the border) and her mention of Walz was that he was chosen because of his identity in that he wasn't Jewish (perhaps other identities like white, male but she only mentioned the Jewish thing). I'm not sure why she's saying he wasn't chosen on merits and accomplishments, because clearly he aligns with her very well, despite being a white male Christian.
As I mentioned prior, clearly she made a good choice because as people have gotten to know Walz, his accomplishments and merits, they really really like the guy.
My two cents is that it's semantics. Instead of saying "progressive" like we do, people are the right are saying "radical left".
I don't call it semantics, I call it intentional misrepresentation, spin, hyperbolic rhetoric, lies or propaganda. Very little about what team Trump has said about Walz has much to do with facts or reality.

We could start with his quote that "One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness."
Reminiscent of Kamala saying that some should get help so that "we all end up in the same place."
You could start with that. Please explain what they meant and why you believe that message to be radical. The Harris quote, specifically, is pretty brief and absent any context so your explanation would help me to understand what is troubling about either of those remarks.

I do not understand this statement. Can you dumb it down for me? Fascism is another that recently seems to have a new meaning.
The republican party is playing with fascism. Their P2025 manifesto is evidence of that far right extremist thinking. The fascism I'm talking about is the same fascism that we understand thanks to the efforts of the likes of Mussolini and Hitler. What meaning are you talking about?

Oops, I thought it was beerman who was saying my political party was toying with fascism. My bad. My understanding of fascism is the same one you are talking about.
The orange man-baby likes to label democrats as fascists and I think he does not know what that word means. He might as well be calling doo-doo heads.

I wouldn't expect you or most others here on the left to find the Democrat ticket to be radical.
The Harris quote isn't new and is easily found if you're so inclined.
