Kamala Harris for President - the excitement is growing

[FreeinChrist]

Sure she is. Have you seen her opponent? The rambling elderly man with distasteful ideas.

The most recent numbers show that her "disaprove" numbers were slightly better (smaller) than Biden's in aggregate. The key is whether her approval ratings are better or worse than Trump (they are better, so are Biden's).

I'm not going to claim it is a lock cinch, but don't think for a second that it can't happen. (Or do, and come back here in November with a new batch of "stolen election" conspiracies.)

There are many who simply do not want Trump. I watched focus groups after the debate and while people felt Joe Biden was old, and debated badly, they felt that Trump simply lied through the whole debate. And he did.

I think she is very electable. The ground swell of enthusiasm show that. Dems will show up at the ballot box.

Watch The Enthusiastic Applaud after Schumers announcement For Kamala Harris For President, complete embarrassment, big smiles!

20 Second Clip Schumer Announcement, Must See!

It was a press conference in the Capitol before the press corps. It would be a breach of journalistic professionalism to applaud. (Not surprising, the clip was super zooomed by a RW "media outlet" to hide the context.)

(if you're going to post the same propaganda editing again, I shall post the same response.)

I liked this speech:

Kamala Harris is not electable, unless something spectacular happens

Wouldn't be the first time this year a prosecutor beats Trump.

her approval ratings were consistently as bad, or worse, than Joe Biden's

10. Imagine that the Democratic nominee for president is Vice President Kamala Harris.
If the 2024 presidential election were being held today, for whom would you vote? (IF
UNDECIDED OR SKIPPED QUESTION) Who would you lean toward?
Harris Trump Someone else Would not vote Skip Q10b
7/9/24 42 40 4 14 *

Obviously polls this far out (and from before Biden dropping out) aren't 100% reliable, but numbers like this are a far cry from "not electable".

Something spectacular has happened.

now being elderly is suddenly a problem lol

ok bro

anyway ... the Kamala couldn't muster 1% support in the Democratic primaries, and dropped out before any voting. Since then, she went on to become VP simply because Joe was obligated to choose a woman-of-color, not because she was qualified, or even liked.

and she became the worst VP in US presidential history. After being assigned the role of border czar, she didn't even bother visiting the border, and ignored it, as tens of millions of illegals flooded into the country.

she couldn't keep a staff together because everyone basically quit, saying she was incompetent, vindictive, and impossible to work for

after the first year or so, Biden took her responsibilities away from her, as her approval ratings went to historic lows

Kamala Harris one year: Where did it go wrong for her?

Will the first female vice-president be remembered for making history - or go down as a historic footnote?

No incumbent president or presidential candidate has ever won the general election with a 38.3% approval rating and a 51.4% disapproval rating this late in the election cycle. So unless Democrats intend to cheat, the chances of her winning are extremely low.

She is likely a sacrificial lamb, as Dems focus on 2028, when they can put up a real candidate, with a real record

 

[RileyG]

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

Amen.

 

[Pommer]

Democrats are gaslighting themselves into thinking this woman is a good candidate, or can beat Trump.

Is this Republican math?

She can’t win.

She wins.

‘They’ cheated* (again!)

*obvious since “she can’t win”

 

[Pommer]

Question is the “second” Presidential debate still on schedule?
(It has been on 10 September 2024)

 

[Merrill]

Is this Republican math?

She can’t win.

She wins.

‘They’ cheated* (again!)

*obvious since “she can’t win”

anything can happen

and there could be election malfeasance

remember that Democrats are saying Trump needs to be stopped by any means necessary, or it will be an "end of our republic" and an "end to democracy"

when people say stuff like that, it invites others to assume they will resort to illegal methods

Live Election Updates: Harris Rallies Exuberant Wisconsin Crowd, Saying ‘When We Fight, We Win’

Vice President Kamala Harris visited a key battleground state and quickly went on the offensive against former President Donald J. Trump, casting the race as a contest between a prosecutor and a felon.

www.nytimes.com

In the first rally of her presidential campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris greeted an exuberant crowd in Wisconsin and assailed the former president, telling them that she’d taken on fraudsters and cheaters as a prosecutor and “I know Donald Trump’s type.”​

​

Supporters who seemed to be releasing pent-up energy after weeks of uncertainty over the future of the Democratic campaign chanted Ms. Harris’s name as she forcefully contrasted herself with Mr. Trump. She vowed to protect access to abortion and nodded to her relative youth, saying now “the baton is in our hands.” Ms. Harris closed her remarks by telling the fired-up audience, “When we fight, we win!” before leaving the stage to Beyoncé’s “Freedom.”​

I haven't heard anyone say that. Do you have a source?

 

[Merrill]

I haven't heard anyone say that. Do you have a source?

aside from the stuff I have posted in the last week or so here: Democrats saying Trump needs to be "taken out", "put in the bullseye", wishing the killer hadn't missed, displaying Trump's severed head, or saying they want to blow up the Whitehouse?

or Democrats posting "Popper's Paradox" memes on the Internet saying we need to dispense with things like freedom of speech and religion if we think those things allow "intolerant people" to operate with impunity --in other words, we cannot "tolerate" things we disagree with, and should start arresting people

or the countless articles and essays about Trump as a Fascist dictator who will overthrow the Republic, with hysterical calls to action. Here is an example:

[Bradskii]

There is a sea-change.

Democrats feel it. Republicans feel it.

You can see it so very obviously in any number of posts. The election has moved from being between two old men to one old man and a much younger, smarter woman who can string a sentence together without mentioning sharks and batteries, whales or Hannibal Lecter. Plus her main policies are ones that the majority of Americans support. Kinda handy when you're running for election.

Has anyone noticed that faint whiff of...not sure exactly what it might be...but there's a sense of it in the air. It's not exactly...panic. But it reminds me of it.

Well player, sir. Well played.

 

[Bradskii]

aside from the stuff I have posted in the last week or so...

So not much at all.

Here is an example:

Time to Roll the Dice

Biden’s party doesn’t need to sleepwalk into a catastrophe.

www.theatlantic.com

'If he wins, Donald Trump has said that he wants mass deportations, perhaps carried out by the military—and he could do that. He wants to turn the Department of Justice against his enemies, and he might do that too: Just this week, he reposted a demand that Liz Cheney face a military tribunal merely for opposing him.'

Are you really going to try and ignore the fact that that is all true? You can follow the links for more information if you're not sure.

 

[AlexB23]

I think the Trump era has simply exposed a lot of problems. In both political parties, the media, and unelected officials in various agencies. This is the biggest issue under Trump IMO.

Yeah, both parties issues were exposed over the past few years on both sides, with the Democrats going woke, and the Republicans going for a bigger government. I miss the days when the Republicans went for a small government, and Democrats went for helping poor US citizens.

 

[Whyayeman]

she became the worst VP in US presidential history

Worse than Spiro Agnew?

In 1973, Agnew was investigated by the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland on suspicion of criminal conspiracy, bribery, extortion, and tax fraud. Agnew took kickbacks from contractors during his time as Baltimore county executive and governor of Maryland. The payments had continued into his time as vice president​

Not like storming the Capitol. Not like making false claims about vote rigging. Not like calling the Governor of Georgia's office and begging for the Returning Officer to 'find thirteen thousand votes'.

Strange, I think I hear an echo.
