The Kamala Harris Thread

Published

Democrats are excited about Harris and as of this writing she's raised 100 million dollars since Biden announced he was dropping out and throwing his support behind her.

Quote

"Republicans, I worry, vastly underestimate Kamala Harris. They don't think very highly of her. They don't think she's terribly bright. When you or I bring up Kamala Harris' name in Republican circles, people laugh. It's immediately a punchline," Cruz said Monday on his podcast "Verdict with Ted Cruz." 

Cruz warned against Republicans preemptively celebrating a Trump-Vance win months out from the election, arguing Democrats and the media will promote Harris as an "historic" candidate.

I got no problems with Kamala supporting bail for protestors just marching in the street after George Floyds murder AFTER I saw the police shoot Ali Velshi, MSNBC reporter LIVE while covering protest on TV.  Those who committed criminal activity --different story.

Trump gloated over an MSNBC anchor being shot by a rubber bullet at an anti-racism protest, calling it a 'beautiful sight'

 

Yep. Most of the misdemeanors were dismissed and a good bit of the breaking and entering and vandalism wasn't really the actions of the protesters.

Harris is the clear choice in this contest when her opponent called a violent mob "very special" and said that he loved them.

People guilty of nothing more than peacefully protesting too often need to post bail in this country of limited freedoms.  I'm glad that Harris is sympathetic to the costs of our bail system when arrested for exercising our rights. 

Protesters =/= criminals, potential or otherwise.  

GOP politicians are fundraising for a criminal right now.  That makes your statement about fundraising for potential criminals weird.  

Are you sympathetic to all protesters or just ones that agree with? 

I see you are still using the new uniform and cult like term "weird". 

Repetition and consistency is the best propaganda especially when it's organized.

Does anyone notice that Kamala Harris doesn't do Interviews? That's because she's really DUMB! She's unable to speak properly without a Teleprompter. She has an extremely Low IQ, and our Country does not need someone who is unable to put two sentences together. She can't, and besides, we just got finished with that — His name is Sleepy Joe Biden!

Cult terms? You mean like open borders, stolen election, greatest economy in the history of the world, Best president since Lincoln?

I agree with peaceful protest.  Peaceful protesters at not responsible for the violence of others.  

It is weird for you to suggest that politicians shouldn't fundraise for criminals when that's exactly what Republicans are doing.  If it's not weird, what would you call it?  Odd? Inconsistent?

It's surreal, that's what it is. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine our country would devolve into a parody of itself—flag-waving as a form of protest against "the establishment", using the Supreme Court to push a certain agenda, and pushing a candidate for President who ducks the hard questions by pumping a fist in the air and calling for party "unity". What does that mean, exactly? The Republicans are hardly known for their "big tent" politics, while the Democrats make a huge deal of showing off their party's  (despite much internal sturm und drang) pride in its liberalism.

So what is a Never Trumper to do? Obviously I can't and won't ever vote for him, he is a boil on the butt of humanity. I'm also not thrilled with the Democrats because I'm far more conservative than liberal. But I find Kamala Harris to be a smart, articulate, and thoughtful candidate, and unless anything changes in the next five months, she's got my vote. Believe it or not! 👍🏼

I've seen people calling "weird" "the new buzzword".  But I suppose if someone wants to call it a "cult term" who am I to judge, but that is weird.

We had many discussions in 2020 about protests and it seemed to me that as a boomer who watched a lifetime of social protests change the world (for blacks, gays, and women) it was a bit upsetting to see the protestor as now the enemy of the people.  

I also was upset that protests become destructive and violent at times.  I'm not sure many people were.  I got very weary that whenever someone brought up the violence of Jan. 6 protests it was "well what about BLM protests, where you upset then? Or are you just upset over protests you disagree with?"  

Yawn

 But to see someone like Rittenhosue travel from out of town with a weapon to protect people from protestors, it is a different time.  Here in Florida DeSantis passed what was considered an anti-protest law "Public Disorder Act" or something like that.  It was held up in courts for about three years before it was finalized to protect us from protestors.

Fox News, continuing their campaign against Harris via border controversy publishes this today:  (It's interesting that it used to be the Biden Administration, now it's the Biden-Harris Administration)

Quote

"Under the Biden-Harris Administration, of the more than 250 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist who were encountered by Border Patrol at the southwest border between fiscal years 2021 and 2023, DHS has released into American communities at least 99, with at least 34 others in DHS custody but not yet removed from the United States," the report by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee, a copy of which was first obtained by Fox News Digital, says.

Arebyou being sarcastic? Or do you believe the bill is to protect you from "protestors"?

We learned a few years back that Fox has absolutely no reservations about acting as the media outlet of the GOP. They proved to the world that they will even lie about election security and results to curry favor among that voting group.  It's not surprising that they would spin this hard in an election year.
