In late November of 2025, I spent a day shadowing Vice President Kamala Harris in Nashville, TN. After a busy day, we sat down for a brief, but important interview. In this video, I share my thoughts after observing her with students on the campus of Fisk University, listening to her fire up a crowd of democratic volunteers and reading her new book, “107 Days.”

    This video starts with the south being a major factor for the Democratic Party. The south has the vast majority of black Americans, freedmen. Not once did she talk about the black Americans, alway foreign affairs. Doing for everyone else.

    I'm glad she didn't win the presidency. I would have been too upset to witness the disrespect she would have faced as a Black woman in a position of power. Am I wrong to feel this way?

    We "witnessed" what happened to Gaza. Lockheed martin, Raytheon, Boeing, Elbit, etc "profited". She and other democrats see settler colonial projects as an accident to be publicly spoken for in book tours. How are they going to win the southern workers when they appeal more to corporations than people?

    If you’re so angry about the genocide in Gaza crash Pastor John Hagee’s and the sermons of Christian Zionists. Christian Zionists are the biggest supporters of Israel, more than AIPAC

    Kamala Harris will NEVER be president! She's a terrible politician, inauthentic, and boring as hell. Plus, she's a LOSER! That race was her's to lose and she FAILED the American people. If she would have campaigned with Bernie and AOC instead of Liz Cheney she would've won and would've won over some Trump voters! And her dismissing the genocide cost her dearly.

    What change will you, Kamala Harris, bring if your president in light of the genocide in Gaza, the blatant corruption in politics, the erosion of voters rights, a return to Jim Crow era gerrymandering by the current SCOTUS, corprate money and influence over the democratic base, AIPAC, shit just PACs in general, abandoning progressives and working class, billionaire influence and power in policy making, universal Healthcare, equal rights for Trans people … ? How will you differentiate yourself from just another democrat out for themselves and keeping the establishment norms that benefit the wealthy and continues to concentrate wealth at the top?

    None of this interview makes me feel better and seems we are just getting a slightly more sophisticated Hillary. Some obscure promise of change while not doing anything to change anything. You know, like Biden, and Obama, and Clinton. Dem track record actuating any change for the working class is virtually non-existent. But damn, ya'all got real fucking rich.

    After the failure of her last campaign, I think Harris' presence only hurts democrat's chances. Most people do not react to her like those college kids. We need fresh blood.

    Well, this is a switch. We have never been single-issue voters. That was a white people thing.
    Almost 70% of black Americans were against the Vietnam War, and yet my mom's younger brother went to Vietnam. He would have been condemned by many of the black folks in this comment section. But if white folks had voted the right way, not only would the war have ended, everybody who didn't get the New Deal in this country would have gotten it. Black American voted for Humphrey despite his disparaging remarks about the "Black Power" slogan and black nationalism (we have always seen ourselves as a nation within a nation, and integration wasn't gonna change that).
    If you are pro-Palestine, VP Harris's opinion about Palestine is irrelevant. But the opinion of Palestinians in Palestine was. They wanted her to be president. Harris didn't hurt herself. She will be fine whether she ever runs for office or not.
    Ultimately, YOU hurt the Palestinian people.

    You know what? Call me fool, but personally, in hindsight, if there is one reason I'm relieved Kamala lost, it's only because the "This is why you don't put DEI in office" or "This is why nobody like black women" or "This is why we can never trust Democrats because they never did enough" and sentiments alike would have probably been much worst. I understand if she wasn't the best candidate, but it is…interesting to put it lightly that the majority thought, "Welp, we're boned either way. We essentially have the far right party and the slightly right party to choose from, so I guess if the man who said 'There're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats', the man who is clearly in the Epstein files and good friends with him, a man who has clearly shown that he just does whatever he wants when he wants on a whim…if that man somehow wins, then whatever because the opposition is no better."

    Kamala is not a transformative candidate she is a corporate candidate. She allowed Israel to slaughter and poison my homeland of Lebanon and the Genocide of Palestinians and will continue forward with the “ most lethal fighting force” of the US military which will undoubtedly slaughter thousands more people around the globe. We need people who actually believe in Humanity of All People. And for the record I did vote for her and encourage my friends and family because I knew this nation would only get worse. Democrats did not fight and laid the groundwork for facism.

    Haha David Pakman stood in line for hours for like 5 minutes.

    I'm not going to talk about my takes on the election though. I don't have anything of value to add at this point.

    TY Garrison as always fab job on the interview. 90M couches are the reason there's no President Kamala Harris more so than the nay sayer. In fact just look around the nation you'll find nonpaticipation is the engine that drives R rule. Ty 💯 💯 💯 Brainwashed America!

    I'm not sold on Kamala, but I definitely voted for her because she was CLEARLY a better option than what we have now. That's not an insult because I don't trust most politicians, rightfully so. The rich and zionists have their hands in their pockets and that's both sides of the isle. You'll never catch me voting Republiklan either.
