Elections Kamala Harris for POTUS

[filthybliss]

Kamala shaping up to be the best president of my lifetime with the best ticket of my lifetime.

Here Kyle breaks down her incredible policy positions.

You need to relax bro....I dunno how much stock, I can put into Kyle Kulinski's word. The dude is smart but my god, he doesn't do much reading anymore and is pretty reactionary.

I agree totally and it seems that ever since he married Crystal, he's turned into a something else and lost his edge. And he never was the very best political commentator around in the first place.

But this video just breaks down every single policy position that kamala has put forth and it's really well done.

I liked geeky Kyle way better than stud Kyle married to Crystal.

You can't cherrypick what you want COVID to apply to and not. If you don't want to give Biden any credit for job returns, you can't fault him for inflation excaberated by COVID.

It’s not cherry picking.

The majority of jobs that were lost during Covid were recovered by mid-2022. Biden’s job growth was somewhere close to 4 million if you’re being honest. That chart is shit and you know it.

It’s just like saying “Trump lost jobs in his administration” when you completely ignore Covid.

 

[Rob Battisti]

According to the BLS, it’s most accurate to say Trump added 6.8 million jobs.

apparently Joe and Jill are leaving after Joe’s farewell speech tonight (lol at giving him a Monday slot).

Hopefully Joe goes rouge and calls her a drunk bish or something.

Dunno which is a worse look for the DNC, that they want to distance Kamala as much as possible from Biden, the worst president ever. Or that the Biden’s are pissed and making it known

LOL @ rouge

Trump's gonna supply Biden with some of his makeup, is he?

Ive always Found it to be pretty small minded not to be able to see another person's position and point of view.

As far as I can tell, progressives are pretty excited about this ticket and why wouldn't they be? a lot of our policy positions and basic takes are being taken very seriously by the Democrat party. Pelosi and Obama helping Kamala choose Walz is just a sign of the times that things are finally changing for the better on the Democrat side.

The issue here is assuming most Dems are progressives. Many dems fear the far left progressives. The squad is getting dismantled. The dems had an opportunity to get a real go getter pro in there to make up for Kamala's lack of political knowledge. Instead, they went with a man many consider wacky and too progressive. Easy to pick apart. Jailed people for not wearing masks but let rioters go free. Tampons in boys rooms etc. Kamala was horrible in the 2020 primaries for a reason. She has been described as an economic zero, with no clue on the real issues besides abortion. She never has shown aptitude, and the right are just using her own interviews against her. She checks diversity boxes, but her head is empty. A strong moderate could have eased people's minds on that with a strong ticket. I agree Progressives are excited, but moderates see the problem. Moderates destroyed her in the 2020 primaries. Actually, everyone did. She isn't strong, besides DEI. A strong VP pick could have put this in the bag.
That being said, Trumps pick was bad too. He could have grabbed some DEI points and went the other way.

What would happen if Biden announced he is staying in the race and that tweet sent out wasn't really him?

Would he still technically be the nominee since he would never have officially stepped down?

Here is the way to really see it. Every single person in the US feels inflation. We all do. I am in an industry greatly hurt buy it, surrounded by related industries in the same boat. It has changed many lives. No one is excited because there are more service level jobs out there that do not help people make a living wage. Because that's what those jobs are. And why so many remain unfilled--it is a crisis. Service jobs are abundant, but no one wants them, they would rather collect. Biden did nothing to alleviate inflation, especially on essential goods. When Kamala was asked about it, she replies "Well prices have gone up and that is bad". Now we see Kamala and Biden doing things in the last few months/weeks to help the border and inflation. That is election buzz bullshit, they had 4 years to help and did nothing. Too little too late. They just realized now it's a problem when their polls were low?

The Inflation Reduction Act was passed way before this election cycle and the bipartisan border bill was barricaded from being passed by MAGA republicans.

Biden literally capped the prices of various medications, I am not sure if that qualifies as essential goods but they surely are essential.

Trump - "I don't think waiters should pay taxes on tips "

Harris copied that

Vance " child tax credit increase "

Harris copied that.

They have policies she agrees with, oh no!

This is not a terrible post but it's reaching a lot.

Behind the scenes it's Obama and Pelosi who pushed for Walz as the VP.... They pushed for him over Shapiro because they believed Walz is a genuinely good human being. I mean I can't imagine any two more influential moderate Democrats supporting Walz can you? So I think destroys a big chunk of your argument here.

As does the massive absolutely deeply felt support from the entire Democrat party for Kamala. People are really feeling the inspiration and the joy around this and it's not being drummed up by the media.. it's real.


The tampons in restrooms is propaganda that you should check your sources with. Walz only made tampons available in gender neutral restrooms and in schools in general. If any ended up in boys restrooms it wasn't his policy that did that. It would have been the school administration in that state.

I haven't vetted your claim about jailing people for not wearing masks, but I can forgive Walz for overreacting at that time. Just like I can forgive a lot of things from a lot of people during that time

And frankly it's Walz who's making the weird thing stick on the right instead of the left. So I think basically your whole boast is off base.

Walz has a long list of incredibly based policies aimed right at the middle class that benefits the middle class. And frankly, I don't see how you can argue against almost any of them if you're an honest actor and a dem. If someone did it would just be proposing a different policy that did a similar good and would be a matter of method and not outcome. And I don't think most Democrats will be against those policies either because 70% of them support those kind of policies.

But Trump reeeeee

bring on the joy

Alternative headline:

“DNC erects barriers and hires cops to protect them from proud boys, literal Nazis, 3%ers, oath keepers,/!; right wing militias.”

The only thing I really can't stand about walz amd Harris is that they've given me hope and made me care again and I'm posting too much about politics on sherdog!!!!

Before Kamala I was happy to just keep my head down and hope for the best in a dire time.

Tell me one good thing Harris has done as Vice President, Attorney General, or Senator.

Your question wasn't answered.

I wonder why.

He could have grabbed a little less pussy too.

So yeah, it's really too bad that Republicans sold their souls and continued to support Trump in 2020 instead of replacing him so that literally any more or less middle of the road shitty ticket would beat him for sure as long as they ticked all the right boxes.

Perhaps, had the Republicans fielded a more serious candidate it would have forced the Democrats to do the same. Instead, the Democrats were forced into adapting their strategy to the candidate they were running against and that's how you ended up with Harris as the VP instead of whomever might have replaced her with better policy experience.

However, the reality of the situation is that once Harris became the VP, there was virtually no way there'd be any other person taking the nomination instead of her when Biden stepped down 3 months or so before the election. That's just politics. No one on the Democrat side seems to give a fuck about any of her supposed faults because they don't. She was automatically the natural person to fall in line behind in that moment no matter what and whether they like her or not to give themselves the best chance to win in November. Plain and simple.

Any other choice would risk massive division within the party just when the Trump campaign is in disarray as well--something which needed to be capitalised upon ASAP. It took, what, 1 day or 2 for her receive commitment from enough delegates to make her the presumptive candidate? They did well there.

I note that Republican strategists are trying to divert Trump from all his normal made up shit and talk about actual policy but he's utterly incapable of it. As long as the whole party is behind her all Harris has to do is pretend she has some policies to win so why would Democrats mess with that?

No one gives a flying fuck about masks or tampons this election. Omg a tampon in a bathroom I'm not voting dem said no dem ever.

Except he passed a multi trillion dollar stimulus bill after Covid was over.

Not once the delegates cast their votes at the convention.

 

[Islam Imamate]

Was she not put in charge of the southern border crisis? Biden did put her in charge of that. How did it turn out?

Does this count?

Vice President Kamala Harris and the Partnership for Central America (PCA) today announced more than $1 billion in new private sector commitments, as part of Central America Forward (CAF), a public-private partnership that was created in response to the Vice President’s Call to Action for Northern Central America.

Today’s announcement brings the overall total of new commitments to more than $5.2 billion since May 2021.

To date, CAF and other PCA partners include more than 50 companies and organizations that have made commitments to support inclusive economic growth in the region. These entities represent the financial services, textiles and apparel, agriculture, technology and telecommunications, and nonprofit sectors, among others.

These investments are creating jobs, connecting people to the digital economy, expanding access to financing for small businesses, providing training and education for youth, women and workers, and improving economic livelihoods for people in the region.

These investments are materializing into tangible opportunities for families and communities across integrated supply chains in Central America and the United States – benefiting students, employees, entrepreneurs, and families – and shaping a model for mobilizing private sector commitments through collective action to drive economic development.
