American gen Z voters share how they feel about Kamala Harrisā€™s presidential bid, why they like or dislike her as a candidate and whether they think she could beat Donald Trump, as the vice-presidentĀ races towards winning the Democratic nominationĀ for Novemberā€™s election.

ā€˜I think sheā€™s just what we needā€™

ā€œI think [Kamala Harris] is the only one that makes sense. She will get the votes Biden couldnā€™t. She could get the Black, Asian, Latino, womenā€™s, LGBTQ+ and youth votes. She stands more for progress and equality than an old white dude and if she wins it will be historic. The Democrats need a bold move and I think sheā€™s just what we need.

ā€œI hope theĀ DemocratsĀ realize what an opportunity this is for them.ā€Ā Will, 22,Ā construction worker from Portland, Oregon

    Congress broke the strike with a veto-proof majority, Biden didnā€™t have much choice in the matter.

    At least Biden was able to negotiate and apply pressure to get most of the demands met for the rail workers after the strike was prevented. The unions were largely grateful for the administrationā€™s efforts on the issue.

        my emotions in this chain have been so far:

        • outrage
        • pleasant surprise
        • outrage again
        • confusion

        I think Iā€™ll settle on the idea that whatever Biden did, it was at least better than what Trump wouldā€™ve. Then again itā€™s this exact same blind logic that Trump supporters say about Biden.
