While your experience certainly sucks, Harris is as or more qualified as any VP in our history.  She has been a DA, and elected official, and was also running for president herself.  It's disingenuous to say she was only chosen for her gender or her race alone.  Did they play a factor?  Maybe.  But she is certainly qualified in her own right.

Maybe a factor?  Her race and gender were the two PRIMARY factors.  All male and all non-minority female options were automatically removed from consideration, regardless of qualifications.  That's not how you find the best and the brightest.  To claim her as qualified as any VP in history is a huge stretch of the imagination.

PS  What are the "qualifications" you deem most essential?

Yep. JoeB said he chose her because of her race and gender and it's obvious the rest of his picks were as well. Diversity is the name of the game now, not most qualified. 

It's like taking BAP in any round in the draft. They're not the position you need but they're a better choice than all the other players in that round because they check certain boxes.
