Not my first choice, but the public execution of George Floyd at the hands of police has drastically changed the political landscape…..

I rather like the choice. I found it impossible to choose from this far outside the corridors of power, but I like the choice for several reasons. First, as one reporter said yesterday, by committing to the selection of a woman, and getting that off of the table early on, this process showed how deep the Democratic bench is. I think it is good for the party, and good for the respective pols involved. It highlighted Black women politicians and journalists in particular. Second, Harris is young enough to project forward as a head of the ticket 4 or 8 years from now. Sanders and Warren lack that particular capacity. Third, the Democrats found themselves in a bit of a corner by promising a woman, and hinting about a Black woman. To do something other than that would be too much of a risk. I think bringing in someone who graduated from one of the HSBCs is a very smart move. I think inclusion elevates democracy as her presence may elevate the HSBCs as more traditional feeders to the roster of contenders for the highest office.

@Bitey;
Kamala Harris graduated from Howard University in 1986 …
I graduated from Howard in 1968…
Thurgood Marshall graduated from Howard Law School in 1933….
Howard is still the place where you can major in Black Excellence…
