Current Events > Kamala Harris says she's ready to serve.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Harris is garbage. I never want to hear from her again after Biden's presidency.

She's obviously horrific on policy, but she's also a charisma vacuum who cannot say anything of substance or be rhetorically effective in any way. The single advantage she has over Biden is that her brain is fully intact.

Biden is literally a better speaker than she is even with a Swiss cheese memory and a stutter. Every time she opens her mouth it's to ramble about nonsense for 10 minutes before finally not answering whatever question she was asked.

I'm ready for her. One alternative is senile* and the other is a fascist. She's the best by default. I'm sorry that she's a hard-ass prosecutor. That is the least of our worries right now. I'm sorry that she put your boy in prison for marijuana, but that's still not as bad as Trump putting someone in prison for being born a Latino. The lesser of two evils (or three evils) is all we can realistically hope for right now.

*Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, but two doctors at the hospital I work at were in agreement that he showed signs of senility.

**Disclaimer Disclaimer: Those two doctors are right-wingers.

It's so weird to me when somebody feels like they have to hop on an alt to post something... Not controversial? It automatically makes me assume they're posting disingenuously. Like... Why do that?

Nobody should be in prison for marijuana. That's bullshit. But fascism is the mother-fuck-est of all bullshit-tries. (I know these are weird hyphen placements. I'm not risking getting called out on a censor bypass.)

If it's a cop vs Hitler, I'm rooting for the cop. I'm not pretending they're the same individual. In this strange, fucked up set of circumstances, a prosecutor is better than a full-on fascist.

Compared to who? It's kinda been established that our options are garbage. I don't see anyone on the field with better policy than Harris.

She's ready but America is not.

I mean, a half black male alone has outraged conservatives, imagine a black/south Asian "Muslim" Woman.

I have been saying that the dems want her to be president but arent confident in her ability to get elected. Bidens gonna get assassinated lol jk maybe step down. That is if he wins.

I know she's very 1-dimensional and not really likable at all but the bottom line for presidency would still be the same as it is currently until there's wider support for new qualified and charismatic dem candidates.

I don't actually think Kamala would be inherently worse than Biden policy wise and if he stepped down, it provides the perfect opportunity to "reverse course" on some things that are unpopular in a way that doesn't feel like pandering as much as if Biden himself did it.

Good.

That America isn't ready for her is the reason that America needs her. Liked or not, a Black/Asian/White woman president will show bigots that it's not their nation anymore. They can't exclude people the way they'd like to.

It has already been established that her policy is garbage. Electing her simply because of her race just to spite bigots would be a travesty.

Person says they could do their manager's job - A news headline, for some reason XD

I feel like this should be the takeaway. Do people... Not want the vice president to say they feel they could do the president's job? Would they prefer if the vice president said "Gee, I'm not ready to be president, should it occur?"

But we just elected a dude because he was a milquetoast old white guy.

We get it. You're sad Trump didn't win. You've cried about it enough, already. We know who you are.

Her policy is literally just more Biden policy. If you're going to point to some bullshit she did in California 20 years ago as some kind of gotcha then you're probably also the kind of person who still refers back to the 94 crime Bill as proof of Biden's bad policy.

Biden has had some of the best policy we've had since Clinton. He wouldn't pick someone who didn't agree with him on most things especially knowing well in advance that she could be casting a ton of tie breaking votes in the Senate.

Ready to serve Trump? Cause she aint gonna win against him, as awful as he is

Trump was elected because he was a xenophobic old white guy.

Also I'm not sure where on the political compass someone who simultaneously prefers Trump and Harris would even fall. My complaint is obviously that the major parties keep picking shit nominees, despite how much you'd like to strawman it into something easier to dismiss.

I like how alts like to pretend we somehow don't know their post histories.

Sucks for her. She's obviously being groomed for the next candidacy but she's never going to get it. Because of our fucked up voting electorate, I could very easily see some of the major players bowing out in 2028 if Biden wins again because they know it'll be difficult for a "3rd" democratic term, and so 2032 comes around and everyone is gunning for it and people like Newsom or people we don't even know about right now easily beat her.

If her policy is Shoot All Puppies, she's a better candidate than Trump.

And I don't want a multicultural woman elected to spite bigots. I want her elected to show bigots they're fighting a war they've already lost.

Newsome is gonna crush it in 2028. Kamala is not going to win a debate against him. She could barely debate Maalox Mike Pence

I post the same opinions on every account I've had. I've been adamant since 2015 that Hillary, Biden, and Trump are all corporate garbage (supported Bernie and Warren in those cycles instead). In terms of policy record I legitimately consider Harris superior to the three and would actually be willing to support a potential presidential campaign, instead of having to continue a 9+ year whining streak.

Just Harris expressing more favor towards Palestine is a good sign.

Republicans don't want the government to function to begin with, so maybe not? But also we both know the controversy is because Kamala Harris is non-white and a woman.

Newsom, the poll tested fake asshole who vetoes half the major bills his state's Democratic legislature sends him?

He's gonna have a lot of terrible policy to defend.

The upcoming years feel like an unending nightmare.

Biden carries their ticket to victory then resigns for health reasons and coronates her president is the GOOD outcome.
The bad outcome is Trump wins.

God, why couldn't Biden have chosen Tammy Duckworth like he originally planned? :(

Kamala is like a triple threat:

• A moron who makes a fool of herself anytime she opens her mouth (no, not as bad as Trump*)
• A legitimately evil person (no, not as bad as Trump*) that illegally kept people in prison extra time on marijuana charges to get free labor and bragged about it
• An absolute charisma vacuum (Trump's got that one at least, can't deny it)

* Added b/c daring to criticize a Dem will inevitably unleash an avalanche of "you're right-wing!"

If Biden does pass during his tenure, Harris would do a good job holding down the fort until the next election cycle.

I don't doubt her ability. In fact, if Biden does pass, chances are the country will rally around her.

Biden's doing great btw.

This claims it's false, but only b/c "her office" wrote the memo and she later claimed she had no knowledge/involvement of it.
"The buck stops here? Nah..."

Biden had some juicy things to say about her, too

https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/08/01/democratic-debate-kamala-harris-tulsi-gabbard-joe-biden-fact-check/

Tulsi Gabbard: She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California.

The facts: Its false to say Harris kept prisoners incarcerated beyond their sentences. Lawyers in Harris attorney general office did unsuccessfully argue against the early release of prisoners, citing needed inmate firefighting labor but Harris said they did so without her knowledge and publicly criticized the statement at the time.

In September 2014, attorneys for Harris argued in a court filing that the state should not free some prisoners as part of efforts to reduce prison crowding because it would negatively impact programs that put inmates to work fighting wildfires. That would severely impact fire camp participation a dangerous outcome while California is in the middle of a difficult fire season and severe drought, the lawyers wrote. A judge ruled against Harris offices request.

When the memo provoked headlines that fall, Harris spoke out against it and said she was not aware of it. The way that argument played out in court does not reflect my priorities, she told the website ThinkProgress. The idea that we incarcerate people to have indentured servitude is one of the worst possible perceptions. I feel very strongly about that. It evokes images of chain gangs.

Inmates in California are paid as little as eight cents per hour, according to the Prison Policy Initiative, with those battling wildfires getting about two dollars a day.

Do you believe her?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I don't think they're exclusively responsible, no. I think a lot of the criticism of her as VP is directly related to those specific reasons, though.

It's false because not releasing someone early isn't the same as keeping them late.

Why are people on CE like this? Why do yall track peoples posts and alleged alt accounts? On fucming gamefaqs of all platforms. Yall dont have lives at all. Truly immortal losers.

It'd be fine if they were actually super detectives uncovering hidden truths, but since the guy is wrong in this case it's just being a loser. >_>

This is like the worst thing she could have possibly said lol

Is it true that the country is actually being run by an oligarchy? That the president is really just a political puppet, the two party system keeps the people distracted so we don't realise how badly we're being screwed
