Kamala Harris? Really?

I understand it, but I don't like it. I understand it in the sense he committed to having a female minority as his VP which limited his options, and Harris made sense because she was the "big" name in a field of candidates where nobody really stood out that much, buuuut...

I don't like it because Harris seems like one of the political types just playing the game. At the debates, she went hard after Biden, but now it's all love today. When she was SF's prosecutor, she was never about legalizing weed or using her unique experience as a female minority to "stand up for the little man" as the articles today put it. But in the debates that's what she was pretending to be. Why can't she just be honest and acknowledge that times have changed and so has her priorities? I really don't believe her or Biden are in it for the little guy, if elected they will just focus on reversing the damage Trump has done (which I'm fine with) and restoring the economy. But I want an administration focused on wealth inequality and getting rid of the loopholes that allow the top 1% to pay less taxes than the rest of us. Let's go back to the 1950's, when the marginal tax rate was 90% and America prospered on the backs of the post-war economy and the top 1% paying their share.
