>we are protesting police misconduct and brutality
>lol nominate crooked cop on the ticket

PHONY KAMALA won't last.

SAD!!!



I think Kamala is going to scare away black men especially. Totally ingenuine compared to Obama.

Kamala is gonna have the sex with Biden, and after the expected result, she will be president. That's assuming Biden wins, which he won't.



Kamala: Hey Joe. Come over here and sniff me, big boy.

Biden: Ooh, ooh, thump.

I dont think Hillary was that much more talented. She was able to run a functioning campaign, unlike Harris, but other than that, I dont see a ton of differences.




The phony/leftist line of attack is aimed at white swing voters, the criminal justice stuff is aimed at blacks to depress their turnout.



"Not having any significant flaws" is not enough to qualify as "impressive" when we're talking about a presidential race.




I have to completely disagree with you here. The problem with Hillary was never that people doubted that she would run an effective administration. Her problem was that a crucial amount of voters feared that she would effectively implement all the policies they hate, while the other half (her own base) was not particularly thrilled by her platform either.

Regarding Kamala: she doesnt have as much of a track record as Hillary, but I think the more people will learn about her, the more her favorables will gravitate toward the absymal Hillary levels.

I also fundamentally disagree with the notion that people dont care about policy. They might not care about minutiae, but the general ideology/vision/policy direction a candidate stands for is super important. Trump would have been olbiterated in 2016 if his base hadnt been digging both his personality and his platform.

“In 2011 and again in 2013, Trump donated a total of $6,000 to Harris’ campaign for California attorney general. His daughter, Ivanka, also gave Harris $2,000 in 2014.”

Oh Hillary is WAY more talented. If she hadn't married Bill, she easily would have ended up on an appellate court or SCOTUS. Hillary went to Yale for her JD. Harris went to fucking Hastings. They aren't even in the same universe. Hillary also REALLY digs into the minutia of things whereas Harris couldn't decide wtf she stood for because she doesn't know the first thing about policy.

I don't think it's possible for Harris to get to Hillary's favorability levels. Hillary was under the microscope for so much longer. Kamala entered national politics in 2016. 4 years vs. 24 years is pretty significant.

Regarding policy, I think there are certainly wedge issues that people care about (guns, abortion, etc.) but no one gives a shit about economic policy, foreign policy, etc. If you can't explain an issue or vision in a single sentence, it's no good.

Those brilliant minds over at The Federalist...

I saw how Hillary really dug into foreign policy. Is that supposed to be a point in her column?

She's much more neutral with people disliking her compared to Hillary on a national stage. I don't think she hurts the ticket near anywhere as much Hillary did in 2016. Personally i slightly dislike her from her answers in the primaries but it's nowhere near the dislike i have for Hillary. Between the pay to play, destabilizing Libya, rhetoric on Russia, Ukraine & Syria i was firmly against what Hillary stood for.

In many respects she is a 'safe' candidate. Maybe Biden campaigns calculus was that he has more to lose in centrist votes versus appearing to shift to the left? I think he made the right choice. Appearing to be close to what we're seeing out of Antifa/BLM is not something most of America agrees with, especially not in those battle ground states.
