Does Biden need to convince those suburban women not to vote for Trump?

I guess right wing racist women will continue to vote for Trump.

And anybody else would vote for almost anybody except Trump.

Well .. do not underestimate the ........

Yes that really is very sad but you are not the only one who made that mistake.

that's a great video but hard to look at it until the end, too much stupidxtx.... they all sound an resemble like Trump..,, none sounded intelligent enough to make sense of anything.... “Tell me who your friends/supporters are, I’ll tell you who you are.”

However, if you actually read that article or watch the video of the exchange, it's relatively clear that she never actually says she listened to Tupac and Snoop Dogg while in college. She talks about getting high in college. Then there are overlapping questions from two different interviewers: the first asks who does she listen to (present tense). Before she can answer, the second one asks who she listened to when she was high. Looking at the first questioner, she says Tupac and Snoop Dogg.

 

Anyway, even if she had got mixed up a bit about what music she was listening to over thirty years ago when high, would it really matter that much?

Who cares if she listens or listened to Tupac and Snoop Dogg? Millions and millions of people, including many on this forum, still listen to Trump, and he’s a thousand times worse than Tupac and Snoop Dogg combined. I really don’t get why listening to Tupac and Snoop Dogg is so reprehensive, while apparently listening to Hannity, Tucker Carlson and the likes spouting the most outrageous nonsense and lies is not a problem to all those Trumpeteers.

That's what happens all the time in US politics. The running mate is the one that can get the votes that the candidate himself has no access to. Which is why I think Pence will be dumped soon, he doesn't need someone like Pence right now, but a vote getter a bit more centric.

He doesn't have the gonads to switch to Haley. She actually could help him but that is not a trait of his.

Haley wouldn't be stupid enough to accept an offer to be on that miserable loser's ticket anyway.

The thought that Kamala can unify the country is preposterous. I can't think of anybody worse in No one is going to unify the country. Trump has split it for good. The only hope is that his side get smaller and more insignificant.

You act as if it was all flowery poems and lovely beautiful letters from your side. I have admitted many things I don't like about Trump and the whole god damn tihs show in general. Either side you vote for you are getting bent over the barrel. Depending on what you do for a living and how you handle it is the difference as subtle as if they use lube.

 

The left has spewed more vulgarities and hatred Trump than pretty much anybody else in the history of the internet. I get that it is going to get much uglier. Do not even attempt to say your side has had any amount of decorum or diplomacy since Trump was elected.

 

At least now with Kamala there is a head above the bunker to target. Let's see how well she fares dodging bullets meant for Biden.

 

And please don’t tell me that the right is any better. Look at how they responded to Obama’s presidency. Remember the tea party? The right wing started this out poring of hate and they haven’t even got the balls to admit it.

Then why is it so talked about her being "a woman of color" ? I agree though, she's American, end of story.

She's of Tamil Indian and Afro-Jamaican descent.

[darksidedog]

And further troll posts and replies have been removed.

If you want to slag Kamal Harris off, please use facts, rather than debunked and fabricated stories to do so.

And then repeat them twenty times, which still doesn't make then true.

Trying to lay the blame on her for a man wrongly incarcerate for 30+ years, when his case started an age before she even came on the picture, is appalling and desperate, so please refrain or your post will be removed again.

Stick to the subject and stick to the facts. Warnings will follow if this continues.

Shes Indian and Asian but whatever. 
 

Anywho, real fantastic pick right there. Arguably one of the most unlikeable and unprincipled of them all, but it was the obvious choice considering the state of lawlessness going on in the states.  

She's Tamil Indian and Afro-Jamaican mix. (India is considered being in Asia.)

Being the daughter of diverse immigrants is a wonderful contrast to the toxic xenophobic white nationalism of the 45 movement.

 

I just learned today that her grandfather was a major political figure in India. 

 

Not everyone will appreciate this but her choice to go to Howard University in Washington DC says a lot about her. In a good way. 

 

More than likely Kamala Harris is destined to be America's first woman president.

I loved it tonight when Tucker Carlson said (about Willy Brown and Ms Harris)
"he knows her very well."

 

Where in the Bible does it say about some patriarch or other, "He knew her."??

The day before Willie wrote that she should not accept the VP. She would have much more power as AG.

First I think she was the best choice out of the names I heard being floated, much better than Abrams. At least Harris has a pleasing appearance.

 

 But my concern with Harris is two pronged. First, my concern is she weakens women generally by having used her feminine charms with Willie Brown to create a career. I am being polite. But this is not exactly what female empowerment is about - and will be a constant reminder/Achilles heel.

 

 Secondly her rush to push a false narrative without a seconds thought for common sense or credibility was laid bare with her gushing over the Jussie Smollett hoax. Remember she rushed out and in an incredibly divisive (and dumb) statement called the hoax  a "modern day lynching". How totally inappropriate! Extremely difficult to find an MSM source for this - almost as if it never happened - but it did, and it throws into question her ability to judge events rationally.

 Trump will seize on these 2 weaknesses. Gabbard was the sensible choice. But the word sensible doesn't belong in any sentence involving the democrat party, at least during the last 4 years.

Gabbard is great but doesn't fit the current Democrat mold. She should run as a republican with Marco Rubio. Two very attractive smart people.

Yes, you see the dichotomy. But, she's loud and aggressive so OK with Joe.

I am quite sure dna taken from Black Americans and Black Jamaicans would show some resemblance.

What does it matter anyway?

Are we going to argue about different kinds of Black people now?

America cares, it shows her using racist stereotyping to gain acceptance with her black constituents. Surely the black voters can see through her lies. 

Did they see through Obama's?
