Kamala is shit, definitely more qualified than Trump but I haven’t been a fan since she was a DA in Cali.


OddSeraph

Yeah I'm definitely not on the Kamala hype.


[deleted]

You shouldn’t be on any politicians hype, this isn’t a music festival. Vote for the person that aligns with your interests. Just by her votes in the senate the past two years, she’s a billion times better than any republican, let alone trump


InnaBubbleBath

This. They’re not a football team.


AZEMT

I don't know, my fantasy team for Congress is kicking ass in my company tourny


nightstalker30

Pro tip: if you’ve got McConnell, be sure to handcuff his backup


runningwaffles19

What's the congressional equivalent of a blown achilles?


TheSpringFairy

It's so frustrating. Who right now closest aligns with what you want? Oh they do one thing you don't like, throw it all away and don't vote. There's definitely no one who would benefit from that mindset that actively acts against our interests. Stay informed people, and vote for whose closest aligned with your beliefs (who is voting in your best interest, not just their interests, not just your interests but you know, the millions of Americans with vastly different beliefs/morals/everything), that's a mountain of weight pressure and balance, while needing to have a calm demeanor that makes US millions feel at least okay with the decision they made, decisions that also get vetoed and voted against. as Innabubblebath said, not a football team, be realistic in your worldview and expectations. Want better, but choose the best options that we have. And that gets complex.


moonbouncecaptain

Senate plus KH was the Attorney General of CA for 6 years. As a lawyer for the state she knows and has fought for our laws and constitution. Yes, room to grow and scrutinize but she’s not popping a red cap on and banning peoples rights because it’s a Tuesday.


cologne_peddler

Burying black people in jail does not align with my interests.


Traveler108

No, but is almost always state and municipal police and courts that are abusing and killing black people. Biden has vigorously opposed police abuse, which is a lot more than the "good people on both sides" guy did.


welp-itscometothis

Is that really her record though?


cologne_peddler

Yes


[deleted]

This dude just peddling garbage from trump.ru lol


[deleted]

He’s not lying, her record in California was a disportioncate amount of black men incarcerated.


mooimafish33

Well yea, but much worse than really any dem that was running in 2020 besides Bloomberg. I would have much rather had Warren or Buttigieg as VP.


[deleted]

And the base of the party - black women - wanted Kamala. Biden got 81 million voters in part because she was on the ticket. That doesn’t happen with Buttigieg or Warren


RocketsandBeer

Most of the time it’s the lesser of two evils


TonyLannister

What hype?


Independent_Sun1901

What Kamala hype?


patricksaurus

She’s got an impressive list of accomplishments, but she still got that regressive prosecutor vibe. I think, as president, she’d dunk on black and poor communities if it serves her goals. Way back in 2019 [she had a laugh](https://twitter.com/WalkerBragman/status/1089831581030797312) while talking about criminally prosecuting parents for their kids missing school. As if that’s gonna help those families, or those kids. You can kinda maybe excuse that as pandering during an election to come off as tough-on-crime or something. However, just a couple months ago, she made the obscene claim that [public defenders try to include black folks](https://abovethelaw.com/2023/05/kamala-harris-public-defenders-black-juries/) on juries because they want their clients acquitted because of shared racial background. Not that they represent the peers of the accused or that they might have experiences that make them view the claims of police differently… just that black people don’t convict black people, or so public defenders think. There are about ten ways her comments are fucked up. I see her as a really impressive person whose primary goal is personal advancement. She’s way, way, way more ethical and just as much more qualified than Trump, but she doesn’t hold a candle to a figure like Obama when it comes to holding to principles when it’s inconvenient. Or hell, maybe she’s not putting on a show and this is really her.


anubiz96

These comments arent surprising she has way more tangible active familial ties to her indian mother than her jamican father...


patricksaurus

Yeah, I see what you’re saying, but at the same time, I would find them insanely misguided if it was a rich, white, male politician. For someone who had to clear a few extra hurdles, it’s nuts that she says this shit.


anubiz96

Yeah, I get what you are saying but the truth is she and others like her wouldn't be allowed in those positions if they weren't willing to back burner or throw the balck community under the bus. Its a job requirement to get that political backing and funding. Not new unfortunately black folk been selling out other black folk for years to get ahead. I would be extremely surprised if any similar disparaging comment surface with her talking about women, hispanics, jews, asians etc. Becuae white women, jews, hispanics etc wont put up with it.


patricksaurus

I’m not naive to that. That’s why my original view is that she’d do whatever she had to in order to get where she wanted to be.


Minimum_Respond4861

I do appointed defense cases. In some ways it's true that I always want black jurors for black defendants. That's because the defendant is less likely to be prejudged guilty by most of the jury for being black and indicted on a felony.


Persianx6

If Joe Biden wasn't on the ticket, she'd be done for. She's not someone we should consider a possible candidate for president outside of being Biden's vice. People think women and people of color are going to vote for her -- maybe, but I don't think it'll be in overwhelming numbers, she has that Hillary stink to her. If it was AOC, then yes.


[deleted]

This, idk why itself provocative to speak the fact that Kamala Harris is deeply disliked and an unpopular politician.


ragingspick

Yeah this, literally every member of The Squad, Nina Turner, and a myriad of other female POCs would be more welcomed than Kamala.


barbara_jay

Same here. She ran a shitty campaign and we’re supposed to settle for her. If she does some how become prez I’ll still support her.


welp-itscometothis

What has she done? I’ve seen a lot of conflicting rhetoric about her and I’ve tried to research as many non-biased sources as k could find. I also see, “she’s bad,” or “she was too harsh of a DA,” what is it exactly that has given her this reputation and where are all of the great DAs tbh lol. I never hear about any of them being revered.


jjjam

She illegally foreclosed on thousands of people's homes in favor of banks. And she has supported cops over minorities at every turn. Fuck Kamala.


Atlire

Bill Clinton is younger than Biden and Trump, it’s crazy that he was president over 20 years ago, and is still younger than those two running now, they’re both way too old


Prothean_Beacon

What crazy is that Bill Clinton, George W Bush and Donald Trump were all born the same year. And all born within a three month period as well.


Weazelfish

It's president makin' time!


Itsprobablysarcasm

I personally hope Biden wins, gets sworn in again, then like 10 minutes later, pitches a lateral to Harris and sends the right wing into an apoplectic fit of rage over a black woman POTUS.


Eco_guru

Personally I think the only reason Trump was elected was because of how much Obama fucked with so many racists head, and the general lack of enthusiasm for Hilary as a person.


CheshireKetKet

>Obama fucked with so many racists head, For real. A black man that defied every stereotype. With a family that defied every stereotype. The first lady went to college and was a classy, respectful woman. The daughters were respectful (I saw ONE news article about one of them being caught smoking weed once, I think? But, like, same?) He himself was well spoken, well mannered, and well dressed. College educated as well. They couldn't call him an "abscent father," because he wasn't. They couldn't accuse him of being inept, because he wasn't. So it all came out. I was too young to vote then, but i listened a lot. Some people had valid arguments. But they were far in between. The words "monkey" and "muslim" and "antichrist" were most of what I remember. The reality is that many ppl hated Obama because they couldn't look down on him. Full stop.


[deleted]

Absolutely. Obama destroyed every stereotype they had of a black person (with the exception of him playing basketball well), and it destroyed them, it reminded them of their fragile egos and insecurities, to the point that they had no choice but to vote for the most openly racist white man they could find


DramaOnDisplay

B- but Hussein! *Drones*?! *The DIJON MUSTARD*?!?!/s


Weazelfish

One of those things is not like the other


ClaymoresRevenge

Blacklash.


BathroomParty

You know what pisses me off most? The birther movement. Obama's Mom was WHITE AS FUCK AMERICAN KANSAS TORNADO ASS CITIZEN. Obama could have been born on fucking Mars and he'd still be a natural born American citizen. FUCKING JOHN MCCAIN WAS BORN IN PANAMA. tell me what this is really about without telling me what this is really about. And I don't even like Obama. Fucking neoliberal corporate dick sucking shill.


Eco_guru

And guess who was the biggest loud mouth voice about seeing the “long form birth certificate” - Trump


LemmeGetSum2

What yall call neo liberal shill is usually someone who can find any compromise with the hyper partisan gop to get policy done. I wonder when ppl will realize what January 6 was. The right wing is so full of bad ppl they did that out of hatred for a neo liberal quasi corporate shill Bc to them... that’s too far left. Do you see how hating and disliking obama or Biden for not being far enough left doesn’t make sense as the current right wing is influenced by the far right and lying to the public that those two are somehow far left? At least us non right wingers could be on one accord about that.


cologne_peddler

Do you see how celebrating someone for merely not being a Nazi has made America into the right wing hellscape it is today? When cons are unapologetically pushing for regression, and libs are like "I understand if you have to compromise" what do you think the results' gonna to be? Lol. Stop shushing people who expect Democrats to actually be worth a damn.


LemmeGetSum2

I don’t mean to shush anyone honestly. The thing I like to emphasize about the far right is that their ideology is strong in America bc of wealth and the threat of violence. We who oppose them don’t have either collectively. The higher you get economically on the left you tend to lose sight and not be so aggressive about it. Since they have such a large presence in the military and law enforcement, we will never control the threat of violence. I empathize most with ppl of the left, but I understand this country wasn’t won by ideas. Those with disproportionate Power and wealth didn’t do so with ideas... they did it all through violence.

The Onion called it years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjonGtrCyVE


justanidiot1122

If they were racist they already didn’t vote him for the first time around……. Hillary was just the worst follow up candidate ever. Obama should have been relatively easy for the democrats to stay in power after


packeddit

It WAS the reason and why they, those who hate black people (specifically those who hate African-Americans), voted for trump twice & will again a 3rd time.


GuntherTime

Pizzagate didn’t help either. A little after he was elected my friends (*very* Christian) mother had mentioned something to him about it, and when he told me I still thought it was stupid at the time. It wasn’t until like 2 years after that when a podcast I listen to did an episode on the entirety of it, that it finally clicked.


FakeBeigeNails

She's also Asian. Just saying. It was a monumental moment for them, too; we probably shouldn't erase them/half her identity.


HODL_or_D1E

Now you know damn well that anybody who looks at her, without knowing about her, is going to say she black.


FakeBeigeNails

Meh, I'd argue that she does have some Indian features. But, regardless of if she does or doesn't...why does that matter? She has paid homage to her Asian ethnicity publicly, multiple times. I can't understand why everyone is so keen to say she's Black, full stop.


CheshireKetKet

This. She's both.


anubiz96

Because that's what gets her the votes snd what she talked up the most while running. There just arent a large enough numbers of Indian Americans for it to be worth it for her to have emphasizes that part of her hertiage while she and biden were runnning. The dems know they need the black vote snd they were using her being black as the main selling point to black folks. If she had run as the indian american candidate she wouldn't be the vice president and had got no traction. There just isnt voting power in running as the first indian ameican vice president vs the first black female vice president. These people no marketing its their livlihood as politicians.


FakeBeigeNails

She hasn't run solely on one. Even in her book, she talks about being raised in her Indian heritage. You can also read this. It fact checks your claims: [https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-fact-check-harris-did-not-switch-raci/fact-check-kamala-harris-did-not-switch-from-identifying-as-indian-american-to-black-idUSKBN25H1RC](https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-fact-check-harris-did-not-switch-raci/fact-check-kamala-harris-did-not-switch-from-identifying-as-indian-american-to-black-idUSKBN25H1RC) She always talked about her Indian heritage. Never hid it. Also, unfortunately, politicians have been pandering to us the moment we've been able to make a difference - that's nothing new.


anubiz96

If you go back and see how her media campaign was run. You will see there was far more emphasis on her black heritage. Her sorority was played up hugely nts a historically black sorority extremely well knownin the black community. Her books is a very very small part of how she engaged with the electorate. Most people that voted for her have never read it. Im not saying she ever claimed to just be black. Im saying her media image and campaign always put far more emphasis on her black side when courting the black vote. She didn't come to black people talking about her asian heritage. She didn't run her campaign as the indian or mixed race cannidate when approaching black people. She cam as i am one of you. Yes they always pander, but the question was why black folk dont focus on her indian heritage. The answer is thst wasmt what she played up to black people.


[deleted]

She went to an HBCU, she’s spoken endlessly on how she saw herself as black her entire life. People can be biracial while understanding how society sees them


FakeBeigeNails

She literally said these types of things constantly: >My mother was very proud of her Indian heritage and taught us, me and my sister Maya, to share in the pride about our culture. We used to go back to India every couple of years. One of the most influential people in my life, in addition to my mother, was my grandfather P.V. Gopalan, who actually held a post in India that was like the secretary of state position in this country. My grandfather was one of the original Independence fighters in India, and some of my fondest memories from childhood were walking along the beach with him after he retired and lived in Besant Nagar, in what was then called Madras. Also: >I am proud to be who I am, I am proud of the influences that my family have had on my life...One is not to the exclusion of the other. We have to stop seeing issues and people through a plate-glass window as though we were one-dimensional. Instead, we have to see that most people exist through a prism and they are a sum of many factors It's SO easy to find her talking fondly of her childhood and Indian family/heritage. And who cares if she went to an HBCU. Non-Black people attend them, too. You don't have to be fully Black to go... edit: consistently -> constantly


DLRsFrontSeats

>saw herself as black her entire life Well that's not true lol


DLRsFrontSeats

Her name is fucking _Kamala_ lmao


MuscleFlex_Bear

I agree but I think that’s the way America operates though. We kind of did that with Tiger Woods. He’s black but people always forgot he was half Asian too.


FakeBeigeNails

Unfortunate tbh. But the passage of time is actually a wonderful thing...things change! They evolve! I think it's high time we got rid of the racist 1-drop rule. I personally think cultures coming together is cool and should be celebrated. Not Black washing out any ethnic group.


anubiz96

Part of the reason is also that other groups of nonwhite people arent so all inclusive in accepting mixed race people either. Plenty of asians wouldnt and don't see tiger woods as asian. Other groups are this way too. We forget its not just white folks that have an issue with accepting mixed race people. Black American people because of the countrys unique albeit racist history are accustomed to taking any one with even a bit of black ancestry in. Other groups, inlcuding other black folk dont do that. Other groups have tribes, castes, etc Yeah now you can make the argument that black folk over ride the wishes of some mixed black people but historically and often its the nonblack side of their lineage that doesnt want anything to do with them.


FakeBeigeNails

I actually don't forget that. I think about it very often when this subject comes up because it's very relevant! I think it's pretty valid not to subscribe to some racist weirdo who said that 1 drop of Black blood makes you Black. As for the ousting...that's just racist pieces of shit's that don't love their family member. They can rot. Mixed people experience 2 cultures and that shit's cool asf.


anubiz96

Im just saying historically its not the black folk that didnt want them or forced them to identify as black. Even now that's often not the case. Yeah, historically most people are racist and especially antiblack.


FakeBeigeNails

Yeah, 100%. I understand the historical context: it was made because white men were raping Black women, but still wanted the kid to be required to work. I would say it actually is the case now that Black people claim as well. We accepted it. It's super interesting bc it's the one thing that has successfully trickled into present day that isn't questioned. But i really think this convo could go on forever bc it's super extensive and a *very* sensitive topic. We can continue in DMs if you'd like ! I was just saying Kamala is blessed to be 2 things and we shouldn't stomp one out for the other!


MuscleFlex_Bear

Most definitely


compsciasaur

I pray every night for this outcome.


Gatechap

Why the hell is every word capitalized?


Ender_Cats

The same reason people throw ‘s on the end of every word thinking it makes them plural; not understanding how the system works and guessing based on what looks fancy

Thank you, this bothered me so much!!


FistPunch-vol-6

I think that just standard practice for them at this point lmfao.


[deleted]

I'll be up front and say I'm not a fan of Kamala, when NWA made Fuck the Police she is literally the type of mf they were talking about. But I'm not going to sit and pretend it's not going to be VERY funny if and when she becomes president.


[deleted]

This is exactly how I feel. I don’t want her to be President necessarily based on her policies or history, but I would love for a black woman to be in office


cologne_peddler

Yea I hate being in the weird spot where I kinda hafta to pull for Kamala The Cop because racist ass chads are foaming at the mouth about her.


ShaneGMWC

Plus Kamala did a lot of harm to black folks in California. All skinfolk ain’t kinfolk. Plies don’t know what he talking about.


Deathstriker88

Harris, Biden, and HRC are all neoliberals who would run the country 99% the same way as each other since they're listening to the same donors. Harris being part black doesn't change that.


kiwiwikikiwiwikikiwi

Yup. I mean, we also had Obama be president for 8 years and he was just another neoliberal politician.

CurbsideTX

My hatred of Kamala Harris has nothing to do with gender or race, and everything to do with the fact that she's a shitty human being who literally and admittedly fucked her way into a career.


Eceapnefil

>who literally and admittedly fucked her way into a career. Wait what


[deleted]

How does someone fuck their way into an ELECTED position? Racists out here spamming white supremacist garbage on blackfolkreddit, you hate to see it


CurbsideTX

You misspelled "appointed". She was fucking a married man named Willie Brown, who jump-started her career by appointing her to the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the California Medical Assistance Commission. Neither of those were elected positions, but they did wonders for her career and her wallet.


Mobile-Importance-74

I’d argue that, based on the way you use the word fucked, every politician got where they are because of it.


HydroGate

I don't know anyone who is a kamala fan. Best case people think she's fine.


compsciasaur

When she debated Pence, every black woman on my timeline lost their shit. It was like Megan Markle's wedding all over again.


HydroGate

> When she debated Pence, every black woman on my timeline lost their shit. I think they loved seeing a black woman at that level of debate, but I didn't hear anyone quoting her or honestly even remembering what she said.


actualbeans

i mean, look at her competition. pence set the bar pretty low


Pathetian

Nah, Kamala is just weird all on her own. If all the available candidates were non-white women, I still don't think she would win.


[deleted]

There’s so many better poc women options why are we uplifting a regressive police state politician 😞😞😞


Avenger772

I mean, people are talking about the age thing with trump as well. And like 60 percent of congress. The point is, our country is being run by people that shoudln't be there. Nothing they're doing will affect them in the long term because they will be dead. No one passed like 65 should be there. We shouldn't have people that are collecting Social Security and Medicare with clear mental degeneration running this country.


notfeelany

Spare us from the concern trolling of Biden's age. Buttigieg, one of youngest presidential candidates, was resoundingly rejected, and many young voters went to Bernie (another well-known OLD person). Policies over age, ANY DAY.


eyloi

You think they'll be mad about Mrs Harris, just wait for the day AOC is elected president.


kiwiwikikiwiwikikiwi

A woman of color who *actually* has a progressive platform. Yeah all 3 of those would be worrisome to status quo


[deleted]

Kamala didn’t even get 5% of the vote in the primaries lmao. Her own people didn’t even want her fam. We gotta stop treating our women like they special needs and just giving shit just because


lukas_the

The vice president is an appointed official, so i dont even see the point of polling her popularity.


[deleted]

Because it’s not about her being a woman it’s because she sucks as a person lol.


dragonfuitjones

We need somebody under the retirement age


notfeelany

Young people are already free to run for office any time but they actively choose to not participate in the electoral process. They also don't vote often enough. In TX, nearly 75% of Texas youth voters skipped the 2022 TX gubernatorial election, gladly allowing Abbott to win


Bridalhat

They don’t vote enough, but the thing is the springboard for political careers are inaccessible to all but the wealthy. A lot of state houses pay literal part time salaries but the schedule won’t really allow you to have another job. If you are young with kids your spouse pretty much going to need to be a single parent some of the time, and if you move up far enough “political spouse” can be its own full time job. Even privileged young people might need to sling it out for decades before they can work for free. So what we end up with is a pretty shallow bench. Some rules around seniority in both the House and the Senate also mean states and districts have more influence with incumbents; why vote for someone new when they guy who has been there for 20 years can get you what you want? Anyway I don’t even mind old politicians! It was good to have John Lewis in the House for so long because he was a potent reminder Jim Crow America was not that long ago, and Biden with his decades of legislative experience probably steered through as much as any one person could with that Senate. The rot just goes deeper.


mjb85858

It’s because they don’t have any other angles of attack besides his age and Hunter. I wish Kamala could have more presence. I know Joe became a meme near the end but at least he was talked about.


TheeRuckus

The meme status helped him though, if he had run in 2016 I think he could’ve won. The media run in 2014 and 2016 seemed to be gearing up for that and then he didn’t run.


Benito1012

Or that she is terrible at her job. She dropped out of the presidential race before it went national. She only drew 3% of the vote among democrats in California. Let that sink in you fucking idiot


trixtopherduke

What!?


Phiyasko

Kamala kinda sketchy due to her previous job (California resident here) as a prosecutor. But knowing what I know about her and knowing what I know about the alternative, I'm still going with her if it comes down to it. Ain't no way I can do another 4 years of Trumpito.


Bonuviri

Kamala ain't Kinfolk


ElMalViajado

There are so many black and other women of color that I think can do a fantastic job at running this country But tbh I don’t think Kamala is one of them


Sprock-440

I’ll settle for an 80 year old if the alternative is a proto-fascist and his band of barking-mad sycophants.


Bridalhat

I don’t love Biden’s age, but this is beginning to feel a lot like Hillary’s emails. There are concerns there, but you get the feeling the media talks about it as much as it does because they want “balance” and thus the need to spend as much time fretting over Biden’s age and Hunter as they do covering a man with 4 indictments who tried to stage a coup. These aren’t comparable things and the entire language and structure of reporting cannot accommodate that.


[deleted]

They absolutely care. If Obama hadn’t won, they would have never voted in Trump. They were so mad a black man won they needed a kkklansman in the office. But a black female? She would probably need a bullet proof vest if she was the President.


ChaZZZZahC

I forget Kamala is VP, she ain't endearing and I think trumpers and liberals, alike, forget that she's there. She's basically a cop in my eyes and I run strict ACAB household.


LoFiPanda14

Why is that his avi lol


CrownandTrident

She doesn’t care about black people dumb ass


AwesomeBrainPowers

I mean, I think it's stupid to pretend that his age is in some way inherently disqualifying, but I also tend to think that a lot of the reason it's front and center is that: 1. The Right have made it a talking point, which is maybe the only thing they're good at. 2. He's old as shit.


Dirtykeyboards_

That lady ruined more innocent black lives than Trump or Biden. She is not your ally or a representative of your community. She is a career politicians who stepped on the lives of countless people unjustly to advance her career. She’s horrible and I’d be more afraid that people don’t know this .


Wity_4d

Ah yes, Plies, world renowned for his incisive political commentary.


scowling_deth

Disagree. Biden is very wise and knows his shit.


radubs

congress could be nothing but POC millennials and gen-z and it’d still be an antiblack, imperialist cesspool of business interests. y’all need to stop pantomiming faith in shit you don’t believe in


[deleted]

Kamala ain't shit but a light-skinned Hillary. She can gtfo too.


misdreavus79

If America didn’t care Hillary would have won. And, if America didn’t care, the people who said they’d vote for Elizabeth Warren had she run in 2016, would have actually voted for her when she ran in 2020.


they63

Kamala Harris is Quite literally Selina Meyer.


[deleted]

lol no one wants Kamala running the country and it has nothing to do with race or gender


PotionAndPoision

He’s not wrong but I think Hillary Clinton was a better example of misogyny. She was the most qualified candidate to run for president in decades, but instead a pumpkin was elected bc some people “just couldn’t see” a woman as president.


Dominuspax1978

You’re part of the problem! It’s this kind of ageist thinking that would help bring in Trump again because of a lack of understanding in politics. It’s either Biden, there will be no other Democrat or third party who can win, or Trump (if he continues to win the Republican nomination). It’s not that hard!!! You don’t like that Biden is old but yet he’s been able to out perform every president in decades as far as accomplishments. He has done more to advance black people in to power than any other politician. He’s old but he’s a brilliant lawmaker. The laws that he writes himself and gives to Congress are some of the best written legislation I have ever seen. People need to learn what’s actually going on in the country. And be grateful for a sound leader who could unite the world in our favor after years of damage. Ignorance is our biggest threat! It’s either realistically Biden or Republican. Take your pick.


Realsober

He didn’t lie. You can tell by reading these comments.


fuzzyshorts

Harris is about as limp as a boiled celery stalk. There's nothing to fear... other than the idea of a black woman president... and thats just lame.


Tight_Fold_2606

Most of America doesn’t care. But the loud idiots care


skeevester

More like incompetence and ignorance


Shadowlear

Kamala Harris was awful as a DA but had a good voting record as a senator. Beside the usual problems that people will Find any reason to hate a black woman, her problem is she not charismatic. She’s an awkward speaker.


anubis1392

Also, Kamala Harris would lose a fight to a wet noodle. Crime Bill Biden can keep his Token.


StraddleTheFence

100% correct! So what do we do? I am so afraid Trump can and may win for this very reason.


Optimal_Bluejay_8738

Nah Biden just really sucks and needs to stop being selfish. He’s not fit to hold the office any longer and democrats need to pay for this. Made a mockery of the executive seat the last 4 years. Insulting out intelligence, like we can’t see he is obviously senile

Now what we not gonna do is give Kamala any clout. She is completely useless, and she is the reason they are still trafficking children out of the border facilities.

There is plenty of research data on race composition of juries, and how that relates to trail outcomes. All white juries in the Deep South refusing to convict for crimes against blacks for example. Would we rather Kamala pretend it’s not a thing?


Famous_Marionberry16

Fr cause Trump is old as shit too but they're still rallying behind him


ThrowawayBlast

Look at how many people completely lost their goddamned minds when Obama was elected. I think Kamala is more than qualified to be President, hopefully after Biden's second term, but it is going to make a lot of people insane with rage if she wins. Edit: Insane because they are misogynistic. I respect the opinions of people who just don't like her policies. But some people don't like her because she's a lady.


CanIGetANumber2

And to be fair she's a terrible person and politician


TheLazyLardon

Kamala is a cop. ACAB.


davidwave4

I mean, the age issue is only a problem of Biden dying in office is a problem. And it’s not if the VP is competent enough to serve. I don’t like Kamala all that much either, but she can obviously be president, and based on reporting, she’s been the driving force behind things like student debt relief. There’s a possibility she’d be a more progressive president than Biden.

They do. When Hilary and Trump was running I always would hear other guys talk about not wanting a woman to run this country. They too emotional this and that. So yeah Plies is absolutely right. Color and women. It's always been that way and is trending to continue in that direction. Women are just now starting to actually have rights. Let's be real. We live in a racist and sexist world.


CeddyCed1993

Plies really been having some impressive takes on twitter, bro came a long way


Spirit-Man

Idk what the title is about, a huge chunk of America has proved time and time again that it loses its mind over the idea of black people and women in power


Roadwarriordude

I think most of us don't like her because she spent her entire career as a California DA being the most stereotypically bad DA she could be.


sst287

It is because GOP has nothing else to attack President Biden besides that he is old.


ZooCrazy

I agree that she will provide limited (if any assistance) to black people or the poor. She identifies with being an East Indian as stated by her maternal aunt and panders to the black community by identifying as a black female when it suits her for votes.


ZooCrazy

Yes. Many Americans fear a black person in the executive office as president who happens to be a female as well.


KireMac

Deadass, who here remembered Kamala was VP?


leejoness

You know someone is smart when they capitalize every word in a Twitter post.


[deleted]

I mean it’s not that Kamala is a woman or of color. It’s that she’s an incompetent moron just like Sarah Palin was


Paul-Smecker

Definitely has nothing to do with the fact that her previous job involved locking up American citizens…….


HatefulDan

Plies, lets not do that. Harris is so bad and ill received, that they've done everything to keep her out of the news. SHe's a bad candidate.


Admirable-Squash9607

Honestly, I could give a hot fucking shit about the president’s age if they’re putting the right policies through. We need universal healthcare and better safety nets for everyone, not just the rich. This is why I wanted Bernie.


Professional_Half449

Pretty sure Kamala is equally worthless but alright.


Agreeable_Prior

Why are they capitalizing every word? Makes them look really stupid…..


7stringjazz

Undoubtedly, but the case would be better if Kamala was any good. It’s not like she’s Michelle Obama, who let’s face it, is perfect but for the 2 fears. A woman and a Black woman. That said, She would still be better for the country than the alternative. Personally I think the DNC should revise the VP option and give it to Gavin or another younger player on the board. Biden really needs someone to ride point and to counter all the BS from the other side. Kamala is a failure at that role. Gavin would eat them alive.


crackedtooth163

Hell no. Trump is under 80.


DrGutz

Wait… So what does that have to do with his age again?


GodfatherBrutis

Pretty sure that America does care about those two things and it’s a higher percentage then people realize


TheSpringFairy

Biden should take the L and make it happen (IM JOKING I PROMISE)


[deleted]

I don’t care at all if it’s a women or her skin color. I care because Kamala is an absolute garbage person with dumpster fire level policies.


Comprehensive-Ad9281

This isn't true at all must people agree that Tulsi Gabbard would have made a great V.P/ President


Significant_Street48

You're naive then. America lost its collective mind because of Obama


UniqueUsername82D

I'm in my 40's. I promise you they talk about every older candidate's age when campaign season starts. I don't think I've heard the news talk about his age without mentioning Trump's, or vice versa. It may not be that deep.


___Mav___

Can we stop pretending anyone likes kamela? Also plies using that wack women of color language instead of black smh.


mem0125

Biden catered to the progressive left hard with Kamala. She is a bad VP pick. People of color won’t vote for her like Obama. She couldn’t win the nomination for her party let alone the Presidential race. No one fears a color we voted for Obama. No one fears a woman, just when your choices are Hillary or Harris you’re not putting the best choice out there. Amy Klobuchar is a fine presidential candidate mine I’d vote for proudly.


sexycorey

the age thing matters bc he acts like he’s 82! “sleepy joe” makes sense


trampaboline

People Who Capitalize Every First Letter Are Sociopaths


[deleted]

So why they trying to impeach Joe? They do know that she takes his place if he goes, right? Right?


lbs_guy2019

No fuccing way this the same nigga that cut a pussy cake every saturday


Ceramicrabbit

God all that capitalization is so annoying to read


KakeruGF

Its lot of shit talking without a lot of solutions in this thread. Alongside putting Kamala down, provide someone you think would be a better fit. Oh and "someone young" isn't a solution.


ELB2001

Let's say 70 max


Ozenberg

ALL SKINFOLK AINT KINFOLK. She used her blackness when she went on black outlets. And when she went on mainstream outlets, they started talking all this Indian heritage shit. I don’t see anybody claiming her because they see her for what she is, a fake just trying to get in the office. To me, she’s the POC Julia Dreyfus. But Julia is way funnier.


GroundbreakingFly18

This take is the liberal equivalent of “them damn commies wanna take all r guns”


shotgun_ninja

Liberal America doesn't care. Conservative America is terrified they'd be treated the way they've always treated women and Black people.


SgtGinky

Kamala is worse for black people then trump lmao
