Kamala Harris for President - the excitement is growing

[Truth7t7]

He could have stepped down earlier but they want a circus. That's why I post what Trump says elsewhere. While we're debating they're making moves. The only thing people should be focusing on is getting crypto if they have none. That's the real agenda along with AI and a few others. None of which he's spelling out in the rally's. But he says it elsewhere.

Look at the cover. It's from 1988. They're ready. Look what's burning.

Defunding police (she "applauded Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s decision to slash police funding by $150 million")
Reparations for slavery
Free public college for everyone
Unrestricted abortion, including partial-birth ("Harris was a co-sponsor of the 2019 Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA), which prohibits state laws banning post-viability abortions", 100% NARAL rating)
Letting men use women's bathrooms
Support for Green New Deal

aside from foreign policy, where she falls into line with neocons, and panders to the military industrial-complex, she is hard-left. Ontheissues describes her as a "hardcore liberal"

only a handful of Democratic lawmakers are more left-wing than Kamala (AOC, Sanders, etc.)

Last I checked she was polling way behind Biden, and the legal challenges ahead might block her aspirations to obtain the presidency as per house speaker Mike Johnson?

Correct . But the excitement for her is growing. I was listening to commentary the other day that there was a lot of excitement at the idea and that there are many Dems who were not so excited about the race got enthused at the idea of it .

Media is pushing a narrative, the same media that told you videos of Bidens cognitive decline were somehow faked and he was sharp as any 40 y/o.

Kamala isn't popular with voters, she couldn't even last in her Democratic primary past the first debate long enough to get even one vote.

But media is pushing a narrative of sudden popularity...

The only real question is who actually believes the media now?

I most certainly don't...

The media is simply trotting her out now so that when she gets put under the floor they can switch her out during the convention.

If Democrats vote they aren't voting for a President anymore, they are voting for a party. I mean, Biden hasn't been president the Democratic party has been. Doesn't matter who you vote for, that is what your getting.

8 years of Obama's Marxist agenda and 3-1/2 years of its continuation. Anyone happy now? Crumbling economy, overrun with migrants, a fascist coalition between tech and state, state-run media...

Fun times! Not .. but everyone is so excited! Lol. (Don't worry if you can't drum up your own excitement they'll be happy to tell you just how happy you are...)

You say you don't believe the media.

So, how do you know that Ms Harris is not popular with voters? (I think you got this from the media.) How do you know that the economy is crumbling? (Am I right to think this has come from the fraction of the media you do believe?)

Go on believing that Harris is unpopular as long as you can. I think the election next November will be between Harris and Trump - and it will be close.

Defunding police

In media appearances, Harris has called for "reimagining" public safety across the country. But she hasn’t explicitly said she supports defunding police departments, and Harris has said she doesn’t want to get rid of law enforcement.​

Harris wouldn’t ‘defund, dismantle and dissolve’ police

Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris is the former attorney general of California. She has called herself the state’s "top cop.

If we can't get past the first talking point without it being shown incorrect, I can only assume the rest are as baseless.

Proving the lie does not stop its being repeated endlessly, as we have seen many times in Trump's campaigning.

Lying is Trump's default position. It is a habit his most fervent supporters have picked up.

They could have done this a long time ago if she was pick. Don't be surprised if she's not. They waited for a reason.

Sad, She is not fit. She proved it these last 4 years. Hopefully they pick someone better. I am afraid the emotion driven populous would back her. Another 4 years of the same policies will bury us as a country

Potentially, though, Vance would work better on his own, and would have worked better in 2016 with his anti-Trump stance back then instead of Trump.

Vance on his own did not run for president.

Vance changed his stance:

Right he realized he was wrong.

Sadly, we see the phrase "overrun with migrants" in this thread. This is the language that xenophobes of the past have used to demonize "the other" by drawing not so subtle analogy to vermin and the like.

The poster could have used "too many migrants". That language is neutral and does not carry with it a demonizing sting.

But the choice was made to use the phrase "overrun with migrants". Whether done with explicit intent or not, this kind of language subtly appeals to one of our most dark inner instincts.

You understand if you're referring to me my parents are immigrants. I'm not a xenophobe.

Overrun indicates a heavy strain on our system, and a net detriment to those who live in the affected cities and states.

Chicago, Illinois is a city that couldn't find a million dollars for a community center in a bad part of town but they could find 300 million dollars for migrants... That kind of overrun...

Yes "reimagining" just like where she's from in San Francisco - it looks an awful lot like defunding to the rest of the nation who hasn't "reimagined" their policing...

You won't get far with this. Today we learn that another black person has been shot in the face in her own home by a police officer.

Try 're-imagining' that!

The only thing people should be focusing on is getting crypto if they have none.

I think having commodities and crypto is good for a time. I believe when world go cashless all other forms of currency will be done away with except for CBDC. So trying to cash in on your investment won't happen if you are locked out of the CBDC system. When the Bible says will not be able to buy or sell that's what it means. This is the only way I can think the ruler during that time could prevent people from buying and selling.

Oh, well done! You have invoked the Bible in defence of crypto-currency!

Poll shows Harris performing better than Biden against Trump - but the Republican still has the edge​

Morning Consult is out with one of the first polls taken since Joe Biden ended his re-election bid, and shows Kamala Harris with more support in her matchup against Donald Trump than the president had.

The Republican nonetheless has the edge, but it’s a smaller one than when Biden was on the ballot. In its survey taken following Biden’s exit from the race, Morning Consult found that Trump has 47% support to Harris’s 45%, a gap of only two percentage points. Biden trailed Trump by six percentage points in an earlier poll.

Harris’s campaign appears to have given Democrats a spark of enthusiasm, with 27% saying they are “much more motivated” to participate in the political process, compared to 24% for Republicans. The three-percentage point gap between the two parties is comparable to the gap in the 2020 election, Morning Consult notes.

And for those wondering if Harris is the best candidate Democrats can pick, the polls found she performs best against Trump of the 10 candidate surveyed.

Well, getting back to the topic of the thread, the excitement about Kamala Harris grew quickly.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/2024/07/22/kamala-harris-appearance-biden-drop-out/

The Democratic Party largely coalesced around Vice President Harris as its likely new presidential nominee on Monday, as she kicked off her campaign by promising to prosecute a forceful case against Republican nominee Donald Trump and defend the legacy of President Biden.​

​

Hours after she delivered remarks laying out some of the themes of her campaign, Harris secured pledges of support from a majority of Democratic National Convention delegates, a forceful show of unity behind her presidential campaign that signals she is likely to officially become the party’s nominee next month.​

“Over the next 106 days, we are going to take our case to the American people, and we are going to win,” Harris said during a visit to campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Del., where she was greeted by a group of energized staffers for Biden’s now-abandoned candidacy. Harris accused Trump of wanting to “take our country backwards to a time before many of our fellow Americans had full freedoms and rights.” She added, “we believe in a brighter future that makes room for all Americans.”​

​

​

Biden dialed into the impromptu meeting, using his first public remarks after dropping out of the presidential race Sunday to thank his staff and ask them to support Harris with “every bit of your heart and soul.”​

Major labor unions that had been staunch President Biden backers are jumping to declare their support for Vice President Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee.
The AFL-CIO, the nation’s largest federation of labor unions, representing about 12.5 million members, announced they are endorsing Harris on Monday night.

Hopefully, Kamala can do things right. While I still like the 3rd party more, she could potentially help get more labor unions. Sonski supports labor unions as well, but the reality is, he will not get many votes. The only way to keep the unions alive is through Kamala. I live in a state where unions were almost killed off, by a man named Scott Walker. Years later, the state is still trying to recover unions.

If Ranked Choice Voting was a thing, this is how I would vote:
1. Sonski (3rd Party)
2. Kamala (D)
3. Liz Cheney (R)
4. Pete Buttigieg (D)
