I wouldn't state it as such, but they have remarkable similar failings. A few to add:

-Everything Hillary has she owes to men. Her husband gave her responsibilities that she never earned as an elected official, Daniel Patrick Moynihan hand-picked her and walked her into a Senate seat as a carpet-bagger, and Obama gave her a plum Secretary spot. Similarly, Harris owes her political career to being Willie Brown's mistress.

-Clinton was accused of hypocrisy for supporting her husband's crime bill and accusing young black males of being super-predators. Harris is seen as an Uncle-Ruckus for putting a lot of blacks behind bars.

- They both make stupid, obvious statements to sell themselves as something that they are not. Hillary's are far too numerous to catalog, ranging from her past positions, which she does not seem to understand are on record, to her background, to her "hot sauce" comment, to the baseball team she supports, etc. Harris recently joined in this tradition with her comments about listening to rap music (that had not been written yet) while smoking weed.

All of this being said, I still think Harris gets the nomination after the two old white guys flame out and the party demands an identity-politics driven nominee.
To the last paragraph...a young gay guy (even a white one) will probably trump a woman (even a black one) in the identity politics freak show. The spirit of P, T. Barnum is alive and well.

Chicago just elected (surprise, surprise) their first Lesbian, Black Mayor. Of course she is Far Left Progressive like a good little Commie, so checks ALL the Identity Politics boxes. If she could have been a Black, Transgender, Illegal Alien, Lesbian that would have been better, but we take what we can get.

Yeah. We know. Ya'll elected a White Supremacist. I guess, in your mind, that's a better deal.

Who is "y'all"? Who is the alleged "white supremacist"? Joe Biden? Asking for a friend.

To answer the OP's title question ... Honestly, I think Harris is worse than Hillary and considering how bad I think Hillary is, that says a lot.
