They have a poll floating around WOULD YOU VOTE FOR BIDENS VP IF HE DIDNT RUN?

[returntosender]

Not at all:

She's too snobby for me.

 

[durangodawood]

Ok, so you would consider her. That's a choice.

Yes. I can imagine various opponents that I would prefer her to.

 

[DaisyDay]

She's not very public anymore. I probably don't like her because she's Mexican and they already have too much hold now.

Is that a joke? I don't see the humor - perhaps you could explain?

Mexican? Wha...?

Her mother was from India, and her father was from Jamaica.

 

[returntosender]

You have to be American ("natural born") to be US pres.

Many Mexicans are born here, blacks also.

It's not hard to understand. I'm sure you do.

 

[DaisyDay]

It's not hard to understand. I'm sure you do.

No, I don't understand; I don't even know if you were joking or not. Why would you call VP Harris "Mexican" when she isn't, even by descent? No, I really don't understand what you mean by this.

What has that got to do with the price of tea in China?

Brown + California = Mexican, I guess.

Oops, not sure why i thought she was Mexican but i still wouldn't vote for her. She's not affective enough to suit me.

I wasn't talking to you.

That's not even a dog whistle.

Good to know.

 

[DaisyDay]

I wasn't talking to you.

Well! Now who's snobby?

If you weren't talking to me, then you ought not to have quoted me, twice. In any case, this is a public forum, not a private chat.

 

[comana]

Many Mexicans are born here, blacks also.

If they are born here then they are Americans.

 

[returntosender]

If you leave a response expect a response from me

That response was to Durango. If you're here to start trouble which you are, move on.

 

[durangodawood]

That's not even a dog whistle.

Yeah its more of an.... elk bugle?

 

[DaisyDay]

That response was to Durango.

Or to @Yttrium - one of those people anyway. This and this and this were responses to my posts which you quoted.

If you're here to start trouble which you are, move on.

Calm down. Take a breath. Go touch some grass.

OK, President Biden's VP is Kamala Harris. I would definitely vote for Kamala Harris instead of Pence's president.

I think she is a very intelligent and talented woman. I believe President Biden has not utilized her talents effectively at all. Which suggests to me that maybe he was merely virtue signaling in choosing her for his Vice President. I rarely see her in any meaningful way on the few news stories I catch on TV.

I don't regret voting for Joe Biden at all. But if he and Donald Trump are our only two choices, I don't know that I will even choose in that race. I will likely skip this choice at the top. Just because Joe Biden is not as bad a man as Donald Trump doesn't mean he deserves my vote. I'm not sure people who are as careless with classified information as these two should even be allowed on our presidential ballot! And I flatly refuse excuses like "It's no big deal, everybody does it." I almost hope Kamala (or anyone) will replace the President as the nominee for democrats. But either way my faith remains elsewhere.

VP Harris has unfortunately acquired an image as the Biden admins ambassador to the "woke" faction of the D party, to keep them engaged, presumably. I agree shes much more than that - and she isnt even that hard left really. She's pretty moderate in fact.

As for the pres, the alternative to Trump would have to be pretty miserable for me to sit that one out. Objectively viewed, Biden has been pretty ok. His values are generally in the right place and his decisions have been mostly fine in the context of political reality. I will make a lot of compromises to keep Trump away from holding power ever again.

In our system we dont get to vote for exactly who we want, unless we're ok with our vote having zero power. We choose who is best for the country from one of two sides. Thats the game we have. Id prefer a somewhat different game, but until we have that I wont let others make the choice for me.
