I agree, Kamala is very smart, plus she is not there as a decorative figure, she knows well about policies and goals of this administration, plus she is not a wallflower. But she is a woman and black and misogynism and racism are still rampant. I don't worry at all about Kamala becoming President. She will be great!! It is amazing that in this country she is the first VP. In Costa Rica, for example, there was a female president and VPs are mostly women. Now, there is a black woman VP even when the majority of the population of Costa Rica is not black. Not white but caffe latte:). I know of a democrat who did not vote on 2016 because it was Hillary the candidate. Not only that but he believed all the awful things they were saying about her. I don't know why this country is considered "developed" while Costa Rica is "underdeveloped" Maybe developed means more guns and plutocracy not democracy. In 1948, Costa Rica got rid of the army. Tourism has flourished because costaricans are fiercely protective of its nature diversity, forests, birds, wild animals, etc. And since 1949 there is Universal Health Care. No, it is not perfect. People go to the polls every four years and their vote counts, no Electoral College. Sorry, I digressed. I wanted to point out that I don't consider the USA developed as far as humanism and equality are concerned. Even if the Declaration of Independence mentioned that we are all created equal. I don't have any qualms about Kamala being President!!!
