Kamala Harris running a damn near flawless campaign, with just a month 1/2 of campaigning. She’s been holding rallies nonstop with Tim Walz & not making her talking points about her race or gender like Hillary. She’s offering expanded healthcare, reinvestments back into public housing, wants to take on corporate greed, protect reproductive rights and chose a pro labor, pro education running mate.
Yet, she’s either barely leading or ties in most polls with a guy that:
Is a convicted felon.
Liable Sexual Predator.
Gets sentenced in November.
Has several more pending cases.
Increased Drone Strikes by 300%. (Joe Biden dosent use drones anymore).
Illegally killed an Iranian General unprovoked with a missle strike.
Increased tensions in Israel/Palestine with the Abraham Accords.
Wants war with Mexico (his words).
Tried to coup Venezuela.
Will bend the knee for Netanyahu’s potential war with Iran.
Lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% (lowest in history).
Obvious tax cuts for the rich.
Told people to drink bleach during the pandemic.
Is the main driving force for America’s current division.
Constantly attacks marginalized groups.
Tried to steal the 2020 election (Find Me 11,000 votes in GA).
Did Fake Elector Slates to pressure Mike Pence to not certify the 2020 election.
Caused a riot on the capitol that lead to his OWN supporters dying.
Just got washed by Harris in the last debate, was completely unprepared on anything but immigration (“I have concepts of a plan”).
And so much more. So seriously what is it? Is it just the attraction to bigotry/racism? Is it to end “wokeness”. Is it because Kamala is a woman of color? You can’t use the both sides argument like Hilary or Biden, Kamala is the obvious better choice. Could you imagine if Kamala had as much baggage as Trump? The media would lose their minds.
Seriously, how the f*** is this guy still in the race?
Trump was elected in 2016 because he got on twitter and was a birther dickhead.
Democrats ran Hillary and that was just a bridge too far for some Americans.
Democrats ran an old white man in 2020 and won.
2024 Democrats are running a black woman. Is that a bridge too far for Middle Amerikkka?
Running Hillary over Bernie was the dumbest thing ever in politics, she was never going to beat Trump. Bernie would have easily won and was/is still more popular
alsmot like its all smoke and mirrors and they didn't actually care who won, at the time. Now I think they get it but they did drop the ball, almost did this time trying to push biden.
No they pushed Hilary because it was "her turn". If they didn't care then Sanders would have been the front runner easily.
Then it was Bidens turn, because he's been a career politician his entire life and a VP. That's how those people think about these things.
Yup corruption straight up really
Likewise running harris over michelle obama was a huge mistake.
The dems chose a cop over a definite win which explains their priorities pretty well.
I never got the impression Michelle even wanted to run, and frankly I'm not impressed by the notion that the best candidate was a wife of a previous victor. Didn't work out terribly well last time, and not actually particularly great credentials on their own
Michelle Obama would have lost for sure. Remember, she's the one who all the kiddos were blaming for having their school lunches ruined forever. And whenever kids ask why their school lunches suck today, they still get the response, "It was Michelle Obama's fault".
Obama was elected sixteen years ago, so anyone who was in school at all at that time can vote now, so we have nearly 20 years of voters who will hate this person for ruining their lunches when they were children. It would never work out and would have been a really poor choice to run her, since Dems typically require the younger vote.
Terrible take, she's not a politician and not interested.
Now Gretchen Whitmer might have been a better candidate had we been able to have a primary.
Obama won before and he was part black. Why would that be a problem now?
But he's not a woman.
Because it nurtured the racism in a LOT of people bringing it out in the open...which led to the rise often hat orange turd in the first place, who went from a reality tv star that nobody gave half a fuck about to spewing anti-Obama shit left and right solely based on race and because he got his fee-fees hurt at a WH correspondents dinner. Large parts of the repub base are still reeling in from "black president" 16 years ago that they can't fathom "black woman president". Sadly there are a lot of em, and they vote
Obama also is half white man. Kamala is not.
Nobody thought of Obama as half white.
Everyone thinks of Kamala as non-white female
The leader of the KKK said he would vote for a black man over a white woman. Sexism has always trumped racism.
