Two days before an election, Harris endorsed communism.

She is either trying to throw the election, trying to make excuses for her loss (maybe their internal polling shows something different than the public polls), or is previewing an invited Chinese invasion once Harris becomes president if Biden is elected.

....Kamala Harris scares me. She will laugh like a sociopath when pressed on any sort of issue. She is more unlikeable than Hillary Clinton...and that is TOUGH.

Even scarier is the idea that a lot of people like her laugh.

And she laughs at YOU.

Fight trump vs biden but kamala harris the vice-presidential candidate in the us election made narendra modi one of the players in front of the indian americans but president donald trump has voted to postpone the election. But many opposition and government leaders including democrat candidate joe biden have spoken out against trump many feel that trump could lose the election numerous poll results also point to trump's defeat kamala harris has a strong chance of becoming vice president.

Biden and Kamala are pretty close on most things so I don't think Kamala taking over would change much policy-wise.

They disagree on healthcare which is major. Kamala Harris wanted to phase out private insurance over a 10 year period and give medicare for all.

But I wouldn't hold it to her because she was pandering to the progressives during the primaries. She'll change her policy stances based on whatever will get her elected whether it's advocating for a ban on fracking, medicare for all, decriminalizing border crossing, or banning plastic straws.

Does anyone actually think Kamala Harris will be a champion for progressives?

The most far left senator is Kamala Harris.

But nothing would satisfy the progressive bitchy bitches.

If Biden wins, you can expect this sort of mechanical laughter when she is pressed on any sort of issue -

As long as Republicans hold some power in Congress (hopefully the senate at least), I would be less worried about a radical Biden administration because of checks from the Congress. But still, Kamala Harris scares me. She will laugh like a sociopath when pressed on any sort of issue. She is more unlikeable than Hillary Clinton...and that is TOUGH.

Gravedigging a bit on my own thread.

Answer to this question seems like YES. I don't really understand it, as Harris is literally just someone who flips their policies around for whatever is popular at the time. She doesn't really care about anything. She's LITERALLY A COP in terms of her drug arrested and such. Progressives don't really vibe with Biden, so I guess Harris is something for them. Also like - Biden seems to be showing that he'll work with Bernie, AOC, and such in his (potential) admin.

Theymos had an entire thread on here, with some info from the Atlantic, regarding all of this stuff about Kamala. Can't find the link right now, but I'll go and take a look at it.

True in the beginning, not sure if Trump is able to get away with the whole 'outside' thing for the second time around. Hard to say that you're an outsider when you've been the incumbent President for the past 4 years and ya know, the leader of the freeworld....
Four years in that town would change anyone.

Yep, we shall see.

Who knows, they could have him reading the same bland mismatch everyone else will be screeching. But he couldn't possibly be worse than the DNC convention.

Very happy we were able to agree on the fact that he doesn't really have outsider status anymore, at least not as much as he had back in 2016. He's still an 'outsider' to politics and more or less always will be, but the line itself doesn't (and shouldn't IMO) resonate with voters as much as it did before.

But totally, 4 years in Washington can really change anyone. Being surrounded by politicans, lobbyists, leaders of other countries, business leaders, and so on can really change your opinions. Tough to keep the good fight going for the little guy, lol.

We'll see though. November isn't that far away.

Can you imagine four years of this? Most people can't watch more than a few seconds of Kamala "COMMA-luh" Harris laughing. How Much Can You Take?

Can you do a video comparing Harris, Biden, Trump, and Pence laughing so that we could make an informed decision. We need to take this laughter thing seriously.

Pretty sure I haven't heard any of them genuinely laugh. I've heard them do those stupid debate laughs or the ones that they've practiced for their stump speeches. But never in a genuine moment where someone makes a joke.

Crazy to think that you'll never see the 'non polished' side of your politican. All you'll see is the side of them where the advisors have beaten down certain ideas into them before hand and have (at least tried to) make sure they haven't said certain things.

So yeah, that's my rant.

That's a very good point. I thought one reason Trump did so well was he wasn't a politician, he didn't have the practiced and polished (AND FAKE) lines. Yes, it extends to fake laughs.

He may get away with doing it b/c of the whole investigation into him for the past few years, and all the other stuff. Not sure how many moderates -- the ones that he needs to sway this election -- are going to believe that though.

We'll see in November though. That's when we'll see if the moderates will come out again in the key swing states.

I hope this doesn't come off rude in anyway, but I'm pretty sure that Indian voters aren't a large part of the US presidential election electorate and I don't think that any candidate is trying to court them. Biden isn't trying to court Indian voters with the pick of Kamala Harris.

Maybe down the ballot it means a lot more in certain districts to court Indian voters, but as a part of the Presidential electorate they are not being courted. That's just me though, not a political elections expert or anything.

I'm certainly glad we got all the proper boxes checked. I had been unable to sleep at night, worrying about those boxes, some of the without a checkmark.

seems politics has just gone to the simple thing of.
if they have an old white man on one seat they need a young coloured women sat beside them to then cover all categories

men wont vote a women into power due to sexism but having a women on the VP chair would be acceptable
then young people wont vote for an old guy, but if that oldguy has the ear of a younger person. acceptable
then coloured people wont vote for a white guy. and with no coloured people wanting the top seat then the only option is to go with the one with a coloured person sat beside the white guy

women will prefer to vote for a president that wil listen to women. so they will vote that way

pretty much the biden/harris ticks all the demographic boxes

Ever since Biden picked Harris to be his VP candidate for the Democrat ticket, there's been two questions in the back of my mind:

Will Kamala satisfy the progressives of the party? Will a Biden/Harris ticket bring out the progressives of the party?

I think yes. I think that the progressives of the party learned their mistake in 2016 by not voting for Clinton. They may have not liked her, but they HATE TRUMP. They may not like Biden and Harris but the progressives of the party HATE TRUMP.

I personally think she won't satisfy the progressives, neither will Biden, but they will swallow their pride and accept them cause they're not Trump.

Any thoughts?
There has been a continual drumbeat to whip up hatred of each and every Republican president for decades. This has gotten considerably worse with the nonstop lying and fake conspiracies of Trump term 1 of 2.

I think there is no such thing here as "progressives of the party learned their mistake in 2o16 by not voting for Clinton."

First, all engaging in the D are defined as progressives.

Second, they'd rather stay home with a couple joints of the good stuff rather than go out to vote for Broomstick Hillary, now they have a similar issue with Bejing Biden.

I guarantee you their coasting along mellow on voting night is better than voting for two loser bitches.




You're totally right when it comes to hating every Republican President for the past 20 years (even though the last 20 years is only like, 2 GOP Presidents). I think this sort of thought is common though as we've gotten much more hyperpartisan. It can totally be debated in regards to the mainstream media and what they're saying about the President.

But ya know Fox is going to love the GOP while every other major news outlet (CNN, MSNBC, ETC) are going to like the DNC candidate.

This'll be one of the first races where we'll see if all of the crazy social media outreach will actually do anything. It hasn't worked yet, but this could be the one that changes that. Wouldn't be surprised of the youth just doesn't go out and vote again though.

@squatz1 it’s too early to comment on this because we don’t really know how Kamala will fit in, and I also feel that at some stage they may end up bickering among themselves which will further divide their party. Lastly the only thing that I can say with absolute certainty is that she’s been selected just to secure the Indian voters who’re living in US now, otherwise why would Biden select a person who had attacked him during the primaries elections.

This and the last election were and are interesting for one simple reason. The Democrats won with Bill Clinton and Obama because of personal magnetism and charisma.

Hillary had none of that.

Biden has zero.

Harris has zero.
I would have to agree with this.

During the long primary season, Democrats seemed hell bent on nominating an extremist. I would describe pretty much all of those who made it to the first primary as unelectable.

Biden has moved far to the left, and the DNC picking Harris for Biden makes the Democratic ticket the most radical ticket of a major party ever. The DNC is trying to hide how far the ticket is by trying to hide the most outspoken radicals; see how AOC is only getting a minute of speaking time for example.

She should easily get the progressive vote. The question is if Biden/Harris will turn off the moderate wing of the Democratic party. The DNC propaganda machine is trying hard to paint her as a moderate so to not turn off moderate democrats and independents.

I think Sanders has really screwed the Democrats, now two election cycles in a row. If it were not for Sanders, the DNC could have picked someone more moderate to be Biden's VP pick.

This is all being spread in an effort to help Trump get elected.  It's not based in reality.

The AOC DNC thing I hadn't heard about - boy is it a stretch:  Next week they will play a pre recorded 60 second message from AOC during the virtual DNC.  We don't know how long other people are speaking or the structure of the event, but somehow it has morphed into "The DNC is hiding how extreme it is by only giving AOC 60 seconds".
