I honestly don't know much about Harris other than she appeared to take joy in incarcerating people for drug possession.

That's one of the positions democrats (and the middle) have moved left on! Also one Republicans have sprinted right on.

Tell us why, cRusty

Are you and MIR going to meltdown over every Tweet you don't like?

I personally would encourage more republicans to tell us what they REALLY think about Harris. Don't hold back! Own it!

Most Republicans think she's an idiot who makes no sense at all when attempting to comment on any issues of the day or moment.

Most Republicans consider her to be an abject failure as the proclaimed point person on the border, which she summarily washed her hands of in the months to follow. Which may have been politically expedient for herself, given what a crap show it's been. I'd distance myself from that disaster as well, if I were her. None the less, she was tabbed as the point person, and now the #blueanon usual's in media are working very hard to extract her from that . . .

Even some huge Dem megadonors don't want her, cRusty. I suppose they're all racists as well, because that's what you're saying.

We don't even know if Barry wants her yet, and the usual's in his case are working very hard to say that he doesn't want to appear to be coronating her, they may be right. But in writing about Joe, the silence about KH was deafening from the Barry Obama keyboard.

I mean her successor forgave all marijuana related crimes, maybe it just better timing for him though with the 2016 prop 64. I will say that for no other reason than she's not completely geriatric I will vote for her.

Apparently the Back on Track program, that she's credited with starting, allowed for forgiveness for most low level drug offenses as well.

I don’t give a eff about anyone’s track record at this point. I only pay attention to what they promise to do, and what their closest allies and donors are asking them to do.

For me, there is more than enough to rule him out based merely on his promises and those of his close allies and donors.

I don’t want his “universal basic tariff” of 10% and the resulting retaliation tariffs from trade partners.

I also do not want any of the items in Project 2025.

That’s more than enough for me to reject him.

It’s a perpetual series of #blueanon usuals rolling in for over 5 years to provide the soft landing for Kamala “The Cop” Harris. Always using qualifiers like “mixed bag” and “filled with contradictions”.

Of course they said the same about Joe when his record clearly says incarceration nation. Joe of the last 3.5 years doesn’t count because he wasn’t in charge and only read what he was told to read.

“A close examination of Harris’s record shows it’s filled with contradictions. She pushed for programs that helped people find jobs instead of putting them in prison, but also fought to keep people in prison even after they were proved innocent. She refused to pursue the death penalty against a man who killed a police officer, but also defended California’s death penalty system in court. She implemented training programs to address police officers’ racial biases, but also resisted calls to get her office to investigate certain police shootings.”

Translation - whatever was politically expedient for the given situation.

#blueanongE trigger warning - this is an opinion piece

I saw his name mentioned today but I think he's a longshot. Shapiro appears to be the overwhelming favorite.

How the eff can someone say something this openly racist and have zero backlash? Matt Walsh is someone who most pubs would say represent accurately represent their party, yeah? Or do they consider him an extremist?

It's pretty much in line with the mainstream republican party. Most of the DEI backlash is more dog-whistley than Walsh's tweet, but most republicans are aligned with the spirit of it.

Did not click the article but the headline is enough...Why do you think he picked Mother Teresa and Oprah and Gandhi?

This was the first I had heard of this guy (which I guess means he hasn't made a name for himself by saying outlandish crap yet). He's just saying what most Republicans think

“Predators who abused women. Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. Cheaters who broke the rules for their own game. So hear me when I say I know Donald Trump’s type!” Harris said as the crowd broke into thunderous applause.

That you seem remarkably unsupportive of someone who you believe just ousted a criminal and predator from the most powerful seat in the world.

I simply commented that her description covered her former boss and her biggest supporters.
