What do you mean by christain Trump and evil Biden? In Biden we trust, deal with it.

Liposure:
Kamala harris was chosen to compensate the african american women who stood by biden during the primaries coupled with the fact that kamala was a lawyer with strict anti criminal policies. So its not what you think

What do I think?

99thEnemy:


The Electoral College system of electing the POTUS is unfair in my opinion to be used decide.

Winner should be declared by majority and not ECV.

If my wish was so, Trump would have never become president in the first place because Clinton's popular vote was 6million+ more than Trump.

Was it not same Electoral College system that confirmed Biden as POTUS?

Na turn by turn.

Denique:

Hahaha @99thEnemy, should we tell her?

Let's take this off here so as not to derail the thread.

Don't try yourself.

It’s not idolization of her personal achievement.

It’s a celebration of what her being in that position represents for minorities and women.

You have it mixed up:

Her personal achievements are nice to celebrate and a nice 'look at what Kamala' achieved.

Becoming the VP is not.

Do you think Peter Obi's becoming the VP of Nigeria as the 1st Igbo VP is worth hyping more than his Governorship?

Would you have celebrated Peter Obi becoming the 1st Igbo VP if Atiku Won?

You’re the one who asked “why the idolization”.

I’m telling you it’s not idolization (as in she has personally done something unimaginable) . Rather It’s a celebration of the symbolism of it.


We are not celebrating that we have seen a black woman who finally measures up to white men.
We are celebrating that we (Americans) have gotten to a point where we have overcome some of the obstacles put in place to make sure people like us never make it to such positions despite being qualified.

That’s the reason for the noise.

Actually, it's not easy to be VP. If you think it is, try to be the VP of a local society or group.

Though their work is not as much as the president, they are always involved.

The so called idolization is probably coming from feminists. They always tend to exaggerate women achievements.

Funny thing is, many of these women in power are not feminists.

During Trump - Hillary election, Chimmamanda Adichie (half of a yellow sun lady) interviewed Hilary and asked her why she starts her Twitter bio with 'wife'. She (Chimma) was obviously disappointed, stating that elites like Obama started theirs with "ex-president". Hillary gave her a non-feminist response.

Contrary to what feminists want or parade as truth, powerful women are hardly feminists.

It all boils down to an inferiority complex, which breeds reveling, goading, gloating, and arrogance at even a little victory, even as an appendage; persecutory delusion and aggressiveness at resistance to perpetrate unfairness/evil; withdrawal at failure. No thanks to megalomania in particular and small-mindedness in general.

Buka how can you say she didn’t work? Even Aisha fried akara for Buhari to be President. Yet you say the VP of a whole America didn’t work? You think Buhari didn’t know what he was doing when he picked Osibanjo? The VP position is very important. Some votes were targeted when she was picked as the VP and that is some work.

So why is it always a problem when women celebrate themselves? You would rather see them pull each other down, then you remind us how women hate themselves.

Abeg, drink cold water and cool your head. You really need am.

I only "tear boxers" at the unjust deriding, exploiting, and debasing of any just thing, regardless of whether it's Yoruba/Hausa/Igbo/Anambra, etc.

Small girl, stop hurting yourself; anyway, I've decided to pity you since I've long and successfully proved that no one person has a monopoly of pettiness in particular and toxicity in general.

Stay safe and blessed.

pocohantas:


Oga rest. You are not the person to talk of inferiority complex.

A man mightier, yet considerate, than you and everything and everyone around you and inferiority complex can't be used in the same sentence. Now stop projecting yourself on me and stop crying. You and I know that I couldn't have woken up one day and pleasurably decide to hurt you - everyone else, except you, is always the problem.

Once more, I've decided to pity you, so stop hurting yourself, queen.

It's called celebration. Obama enjoyed same as first black president

Okay. Well noted.

I smell envy.

To get picked for the position of Vice President, you must have achieved success in some key positions. Not just to hold these positions, but to be innovative, and be known for upholding suitable values and principles.

Kamala Harris has proven herself, that's why she was picked, and, being a running mate means you have to have a strong political base to canvass votes, and also be a darling to a lot of people in several demographics whose votes are needed.

Personally, I respect the efforts this woman has put in. It's undeniable.
Congratulations to her.

It's a passive position. It's almost like crediting Mike Pence for Trump's first win. Fine, there was some contribution, but it wasn't huge.

Kamala Harris was in the race for President too but dropped out like every other person in the primaries after failing to secure the numbers. If she was such a factor to winning, why she no win the presidential ticket of the Democratic party herself?

Obama even did way more to influence Joe Biden's win than Kamala Harris.

Near Idol status?? Not at all I think.

You can't just pick anybody for post of a VP, he/ she must have achieved something to even be considered .

Like I said the idolization is coming from the little subset of the population, the feminists.

Many of these women are used to grabbing what they have. They are same set of people that'll celebrate a woman who impregnates herself with a rich man's sperm without his consent because they know she'll win child support.

We've seen women held powerful position in the society without making a fuss about it because they know they deserve it.

Our own Patience Jonathan is someone I consider one of the the most powerful female politician in Nigeria history. Forget her bad English. She created office of the first lady. Grinded shoulders with seasoned politicians even called Aneachi her son.

Ex president of Liberia, Angel Markerel, NOI, Theresa May, Michelle Obama and lots more are powerful women who never put their sex organ first.

Why would anyone even think a Vice President is lucky kwa?

I am not disputing her achievements or qualifications:

Let me ask:

If Peter Obi became the first Igbo VP in Nigeria, do you think it is worth celebrating?

Omo this table wey you set, Na only three legs e get ooo....

To be sincere, all the noise about Kamala is definitely from the Obama-people camp. Yeah! she has an enviable C.V but coming into the presidential elections with those is somewhat “inconsequential”...

Anyway, let them enjoy the win.

1. Of course, she brought in some votes; she has her fanbase.

Do you think a Trump/ Kamala ticket would have won?

2. Obama was the president The tread is about about the gender, it is the position. It is unfortunate Kamala is female. Perhaps if she was male with all her achievements and Obama was never the president, people would see it in a different light.

Finally, someone gets it

It is not about her achievements or gender or family.

femi4:

Obama contested for the position and won.

Kamala was a running mate. So her 'success' was hinged on Joe Biden's win.

If Joe lost, she would not be VP.

No matter what people think of Pence, he is out of there because Trump did not win.

Prior to the VP stuff, she has achieved lots of stuff.

1. Maybe, maybe not. It is an unlikely combination to start with. The combination that won was the winning one and that is what matters at this point. They take the victory and the losses together.

2. The second part was for the person making it a gender thing. People will typically celebrate one of the kind in such position, especially when it is a first.

Allow them enjoy their win. You were asking about Igbo presidency? Hian! When that happens don’t open a thread like this o. Those guys in Politics section would find you.
