Consequences of Missing an Opportunity in Politics

Missing a chance to challenge political figures like Kamala Harris can have career-ruining consequences, especially when they are appointed based on criteria like race and gender rather than merit. This creates a dilemma for politicians who initially supported such appointments but may now face backlash if they disagree with the actual exercise of power. It presents a challenge to the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) when individuals selected based on these criteria are later deemed unfit for actual leadership roles.
