I'm not defending Harris specifically as a person (don't know her) or a candidate (don't think her campaign would've won it for a white Mr Harris either - Clinton otoh could've won and her campaign actively failed imo). The Democrat party machine is not there to elect people who are good for the majority of USians and unsurprisingly the majority of USians know that.
E.g. Tim Walz, the Democrats preferred white male representative, didn't have to make a public statement of support for a mass murderer generally unpopular amongst USian voters but he chose to do so because to him publicly supporting the normalcy of corporate mass murder of USians is important.
And, no, as I said about Obama in my first comment, telling the truth about Harris' disadvantages, actions, and failures to act, isn't racist but claiming the only way to win against a fascist candidate is to exclude Black people from public life is racist and is a response I've repeatedly seen from Nice Middle-Class Liberals (without looking for it).
