We& #39;ve got to stop with the arguments that Kamala Harris isn& #39;t a Natural Born Citizen & thus ineligible to be VP.

She was born in Oakland, California so she is a natural born citizen, regardless of her parent& #39;s status.

This argument hurts our cause... Let me explain.

1/

First, when you make that your main argument, you detract from all the reasons that she is a horrible candidate, like her history as AG, her positions on issues, and her documented lies.

Stick to issues, not identity.

We& #39;re better than they are.

2/

Second, as I just mentioned, it& #39;s the identity politics we all claim to hate.

When you say this, you& #39;re opening yourself up to leftists claims that your real objection is because she has brown skin.

Don& #39;t make it easy for them to discredit your position.

3/

Under Article 3, Section 3, Clause 2 of the Constitution, we ban using "corruption of blood" in the US & while the ban is specified only for Treason, it& #39;s a general principle that we don& #39;t hold anyone accountable for the actions or status of their parents or relatives.

4/

There are plenty of factual reasons that Harris would be a terrible VP, but her citizenship status isn& #39;t one of them and making the argument that it is only hurts our cause and wrongly paints us as xenophobic racists.

We& #39;re better than that.
