The stupidest thing about the "debate" over whether Harris is ready to be PotUS, besides the bigoted double-standard, is that we already made this choice.

People realize ANY VP could have to step in, right? When Biden picked her, he decided she was up to it.

And by electing them, voters agreed.

The main point of the VP, Constitutionally, is to be there to step in as President if need be. By picking someone as VP, you are by definition picking them as a potential President, too.

If people don't realize that's what they're doing, they really need a better grasp of how our government works.

And if people don't even understand the role of the VP, maybe they aren't best qualified to critique someone else's fitness for it (of course, pundits critiquing Harris understand it full-well- they're just playing to racism, misogyny, and ageism for their own ends).
