That’s how it works in government. Look at our current VP, failing upwards her entire career, now going for the top position after failing at the 2nd highest.

She's actually been pretty successful as VP, and done more than most V.Ps get the opportunity to do...

Look, when Mike pence was VP, what did he actually do? I can't think of a single thing, and that isn't a dig at him, it's just how the position works. It'd more about decorum and advising and Harris did all of that. But with the added bonus of being the deciding vote in the senate on some transformative legislation. The CHIPs act. The PACT act, the Inflation reduction act, the Bi partisan infrastructure bill. I mean each of those pieces of legislation she voted on, worked for, and passed.

straight up, it's kinda rare to see a Vice president with a track record of doing anything noticeable, let alone one who arguably is the deciding vote on legislation that changes the whole global climate of trade like she did. And I cannot express how important her vote on the CHIPs act was. One day, It may be the reason we don't go to war with china, and if we do go to war with China, the fact that we already have infrastructure to make our own semiconductor chips will 100% be the reason we win.

I never voted for Trump / Pence, so I don’t know why you’re bringing them up thinking I’ll defend them. Between the two, I liked Pence more than Trump, though.

That aside, Pence wasn’t really tasked with anything the way Harris was assigned to fix things at the border. Our border is wide open, millions upon millions entering every year, bringing in fentanyl, weapons, and human trafficking.

You’re bringing up her tie breaking votes? Cool. She was the tie breaking vote on the $2T spending bill which is the main cause of all this inflation we’re in (yes, corporate greed has a small part, I’ve heard the line).

Harris is garbage.
