I don't know much about her. I think she was a District Attorney in San Francisco, then became the California Attorney General. That's impressive. I heard she wrote a book? Reading that might give a little insight. Because she is Indian/Jamaican should give her a more 'worldly' perspective, that's always a big plus.
"Senator Kamala Harris’s commitment to speaking truth is informed by her upbringing. The daughter of immigrants, she was raised in an Oakland, California community that cared deeply about social justice; her parents–an esteemed economist from Jamaica and an admired cancer researcher from India–met as activists in the civil rights movement when they were graduate students at Berkeley. Growing up, Harris herself never hid her passion for justice, and when she became a prosecutor out of law school, a deputy district attorney, she quickly established herself as one of the most innovative change agents in American law enforcement. She progressed rapidly to become the elected District Attorney for San Francisco, and then the chief law enforcement officer of the state of California as a whole. Known for bringing a voice to the voiceless, she took on the big banks during the foreclosure crisis, winning a historic settlement for California’s working families. Her hallmarks were applying a holistic, data-driven approach to many of California’s thorniest issues, always eschewing stale “tough on crime” rhetoric as presenting a series of false choices. Neither “tough” nor “soft” but smart on crime became her mantra. Being smart means learning the truths that can make us better as a community, and supporting those truths with all our might. That has been the pole star that guided Harris to a transformational career as the top law enforcement official in California, and it is guiding her now as a transformational United States Senator, grappling with an array of complex issues that affect her state, our country, and the world, from health care and the new economy to immigration, national security, the opioid crisis, and accelerating inequality."

You're an idiot. Being elected as a DEMOCRAT in a DEMOCRAT-dominated sanctuary city and becoming AG as a DEMOCRAT in a DEMOCRAT-dominated sanctuary state is hardly an achievement, particularly when you consider her "identity politics" advantages.
You "heard she wrote a book?"
Having Indian and Jamaican parentage doesn't make a child an Indian or a Jamaican, and confers no worldliness on anyone. Oakland isn't very sophisticated.
She's an empty pantsuit, just like the Hildebeast was,
She timed her announcement for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a sign that she intends to make political capital of her identity as a woman of color.
That’s ironic because Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream was: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
Of course, Harris is hoping, like Hillary, that voters will embrace identity politics and see voting for a woman or a black person as "progressive" regardless of their career accomplishments and political platform.
Electing a sort-of Black woman to be “The Man” is an impoverished notion of progress. Electing a uterus or some extra skin melanin is an impoverished conception of progress.

She's from immigrant parents, that right there is a plus for a broader view of the World. Her Parents were both Graduate Students in UC Berkeley, another leg up by just sitting around the Dinner Table with her Parents. She studied at McGill University, located in the heart of French speaking Quebec and the Quebecois. She visited her extended Family in India. She went to Howard University for the 'Black Experience'.
You WANT a 'worldly' person as a Leader. The LAST thing you want is some person that has never left his Hamlet or Village.
