r/neoliberal was saying shit like "any dem could beat trump in a landslide besides biden or kamala" like last week. Even in that incredibly liberal space, almost nobody there was interested in her being the candidate, they were split between riding with biden and pulling in someone more compelling than kamala. Looking at the top replies to the r/politics megathread in the aftermath of Biden dropping out and endorsing kamala is similar, mostly people saying "Anyone but biden or trump is fine, I'll vote for kamala if it's her" but nobody saying "fuck yeah it's Kamala time!" or anything remotely resembling "liking her"
So I don't see it as hatred and vitriol so much as just rightful condemnation, and acknowledging that even people who aren't left wing radicals also don't find her remotely inspiring. Her record speaks for itself, she sucks.
