I disagree with your assertion that they are focusing on her ethnicity rather than her abilities and character, Did you even watch her speech? She is a black american woman and is described as that, also even more often mentioned, AG of California, California senator. US VP. UC Law. Howard University political science and economics. Vastly more qualified than trump ever was and will ever be. What did trump study? Bone spurs?

Wow . there are Thai people in the US? Perhaps the Chines are dropping them there with those balloons they claim are weather balloons. Now everything is beginning to make sence. But the Americans are no fools. that's why they IMO flooded her house.

That would be great, unfortunately you did not order those you ordered books describing the, so get your reading glasses .

I am sure you have more issues than that. They are not passing her as an african american woman. She is one!!! and like all of us, she is that and much more. but this is a political event and not a sociology class. and in political events emphasize that which will provide the best result, all politicians do that. Why are we even talking about that? What? next Trump will not emphasize his Anglo-Saxon background? would you argue that he should also emphasize his Orange Orangutan DNA also She does not hide her indian heritage,she embraces it. she talks about that all the time . The prevalent meme people associate with her is the coconut and or, coconut tree, do you know why? If you don't look it up.

Is this a Cultural event or is it a political event? Of course a candidate will emphasize that which will produce the most votes. If it was you which would you emphasize? that which will return you 15% or that which will return you 1%

That is not true, every time I hear her ethnicity described on TV, it is always as black and south asean. Is se often described as a "Strong Black woman" ??? which she is! Of course she is , 15% of the US population identifies as black , where only 1.3 of asian indian. Blacks overwhelmingly voting Democratic. If you were Her , which part would you emphasize, and if she did not wouldn't you say she was stupid?

There is a difference between a politician not willing to touch the third rail of American politics and a politician who has a record of unabashed support . Sanders is jewish and not only did I support his candidacy I also contributed money I could have otherwise used , not being wealthy. A VP pick can help a little , but it can hurt a lot. (Dan Quayle , Sarah Palin) The question is "Would a Shapiro pick help more than it would hurt" I content that it has the potential to hurt more than it can help. , as the article below supports. Especially with Harris' strongest support group . the young. I would like her to pic Whitmer, because I have listen to her many interviews and am very impressed with her, but I am pretty sure she will pick Mark Kelly . Harris' campaign theme is "don't go back, let's look to the future" , and nothing says future more than an astronaut hero. Add his wife Gabby Giffords to the mix ,and the 11 electoral votes and it makes him an irresistible choice with little down side. Shapiro will be offered a cabinet choice. Please save this reply so in the next few weeks you can serve me crow if I am wrong.

Let me show you a witty response. " Is that the same bridge you have been trying to sell me all this time?" That my friend is a good reply.

Very witty response

Perhaps to you because your opinion might also be shaded by pride. Not a pejorative,pride causes all of us to abandon reason. In this instance it made you miss the fact that I was responding to a post about Shapiro, if I would be responding to a post about Beshear then I would respond accordingly.

If her pride shaded her reason I would , and I will. what makes you think that?

Wedge issue politics!! The truth of the matter is that Immigration , both legal and Illegal, in the face of population decline and the subsequent economic challenges and changes of age demographics, Is America's superpower. But there are those who for political gain seek to use it as a wedge issue to separate the uninformed and weak minded from the inconvenient truth that even illegal immigration provides a net gain for the US.

pride is considered one of the seven deadly sins in Christianity and Islam It leads people to unreasonable conclusions.

I think it is reasonable that a voter might not support a candidate who advocates something they strongly oppose.

Not true that every Democrat has the same unequivocal support as Shapiro.. It is really a very simple observation and not open to much argument. . A Shapiro choice will not resonate well with the base that is against the genocide.

So wea indeed that in the first 24 hours she has raised only 81 million dollars and $150 million in commitments. https://apnews.com/article/kamala-harris-fundraising-democrat-president-biden-trump-434a55ea1eb29e5da92cc9b1f9cb401f https://apnews.com/article/kamala-harris-fundraising-democrat-president-biden-trump-434a55ea1eb29e5da92cc9b1f9cb401f and received Only!! $150 million in new commitments from major Democratic donors in 24 hours https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook-pm/2024/07/22/scoop-harris-big-donor-money-bomb-00132333 Sorry for the bold large text of the first quote, and link. everything I tried will not remove the formatting , if Mods can fix it i would appreciate it. .

Shapiro's support for Israel , though it might resonate well with Jewish voters will not help because they vote overweeningly democratic anyway. But it would hurt with those democrats of which there are many, who are against the Palestinian genocide.

I hope with age trump would move a little bit more to the right . (Pun intended)

keep your hands in your pockets and you will be ok!! But be careful if someone asks you to count to 10 because you might come up with 11. It would be funnier if I had a drum roll

you got me there. I hate the competition

No I don't mean that at all. Ok Nostradamus.

Absolutely right, and I am sure he knew it, all the rest was IMO politicking to wait until after the RNC convention and steal trump's post convention bump. I said so several tines in the past couple of weeks. After all the call for him to step down it was impossible for him to conduct a viable campaign. After all these democrats thought that he was not a viable candidate, if he decided to stay in how would it had looked in his campaign? trump would had said "not only do I think he is not fit to be president. but most people in his party think so" How would Schumer or others campaign for him after they said they thought he should drop out? Every time Biden tripped, or misspoke the media would had shucked the oxygen out of that news cycle.He would had been constantly on the defensive against the ropes.

Wow this is so witty. But I agree with your sentiment as displayed by your post .

Biden truly took a metaphorical bullet for democracy!! Joe , thank you for your service!! I am glad he did the right thing, I have no doubt that if re elected for a second term barring catastrophic age induced illnesses,he would have done a great job. But the operative phrase here is "If Re elected" and events of late , including the disastrous debate would had made it very difficult. Those who say that his mental acuity made him unfit to be president either have something to gain by saying so, or have no idea what the president's job is. Any mental decline he might experienced as a result of age. would had been more than compensated by age experience and wisdom. Age might had slowed him down, but he got there as opposed to the other fist pumping a-hole who aside from flapping his gums in the wind never got there. As reported, not even with the porn star. He is already placed as the 14th best president in history, where trump finished 45th and perhaps one or the worst presidents in history. I just wrote my check to Harris. Time for those of us who love our country to put our money where our mouth is and keep the malignancy that is trump from another term in the oval office. And please make sure to vote!!

The only thing more stupid than what he said, are the people who buy it. trump is a gigantic IQ test for america and I am afraid the results are troubling to say the least. One way or another trump will go away, but the magamorons will remain. A ball and chain on the leg of American progress. "What the Hell did I do to Democracy?” from a man who tried to subvert the democratic process. " Last week, I took a bullet for Democracy" No sir "and I use the term sir loosely" someone took a shot at you because you are such an a-hole and threat to democracy.
