Kamala Harris Election Campaign

acbytesla said:
That's TOTALLY NOT TRUE.

I care very much that Harris is PRO-CHOICE, PRO-UNION, PRO DEMORACY, PRO UKRAINE, ANTI-PUTIN, PRO MIDDLE CLASS, AGAINST MORE TAX CUTS for the wealthy. Against RACISM. AGAINST DISCRIMINATION BASED ON SEXUALITY, Against censorship and book burning/banning, For improving healthcare access for all, For lower prescription prices, For better education for our children, For maintaining Social Security and taking care of our Seniors. And so on and so on!

Is this a simplification of what her positions are? Yes. But the fact is Trump and the GOP are on the other side of all these things. Every single one of them. We could get in the weeds. But what is the point?

I despise Trump. He was trash as a President, he was trash as a business man, he is trash as a human being. Trump belongs in prison. But even if he wasn't the POS he is, and the GOP had chosen some other right wing nut, I would still be supporting Harris and Walz.

Wow, you sound like a fan-clubber. In a fan club. Like all the rest of us in the club, all us fans. The fan club.
 
The fact that Trump wants to make the USA a Russian style "democracy" and that project 2025 is a blueprint for that is all the reason I need to vote for any democratic presidential nominee.

Not Trump is a hugely important reason to vote for her. Although that's a concept that might confound Trump water carriers.

As if Not Stalin, Not Mao, Not Castro, Not Franco, Not Mussolini, Not Hitler wouldn't all be acceptable reasons to choosing anyone else.
 
Step 1: It's not happening.
Step 2: It's happening but it's not a big deal.
Step 3: It's actually a good thing. <-- We are here.

Ineffective hardline socialist? Doesn't matter. Anything better than ineffective? Icing on the cake, as long as she gets elected. Effective corrupt scumbag? Doesn't matter as long as it's their scumbag in the Oval Office.
And I get it. I do. Who doesn't get it is voters in swing states, whose votes may well hang on some coherent articulation of Harris's policy plans, which neither she nor her fan club here has seen fit to provide.

An articulation Harris may yet provide. But which her fan club here has already decided anyone is evil and stupid for even asking about. They should hope this attitude doesn't leak out to the swing states.

Yes, but as your given reason for calling Harris corrupt was that she had been a Senator and this automatically corrupt according to your definitions, I don't think it's a particularly useful (or true) assessment.

i think it's a transference from Pelosi .

by prestige's logic, he can't ever vote for anyone in American Politics.

Seems like somone's copium has run out.

1. It indeed did not seem likely. It seemed that it would not happen, and there was the risk of Biden losing.
2. Rubbish, it was obviously a big deal, but was a gamble.
3. It rather seems as if the gamble has paid off, doesn't it? Kamala is oddly enough not hated by everyone as claimed, made an extremely savvy choice for running mate that appeals to middle america, and her relative youth and energy has boosted the campaign beyond recognition and completely taken the wind out of Donnie's sails.

Despite surviving an assassination attempt, which should have made him bulletproof electorally, that has been forgotten and completely overshadowed. Branded as weird, he now trails, doesn't know what to do, and is looking even more weird and demented as the days wear on.

Hard cheese, old chap!

I know. Isn't it hilarious? The most bizarre application of logic ever.

It's shallow and it serves to normalize Trump.
 
"The system is corrupt in some vague, undefined way so vote for this guy who is corrupt in an absolutely definable way" is some grade-A copium.

Let's be honest: you are lying.

We definitely care about her agenda.

We know what her agenda is. Its not rocket science.

Well, maybe for you it is.

A certain poster has previously written that he voted for Trump in 2016 because he wasn't Hilary. He has availed himself of the "lesser evil" apologetic when it suits him. It's not a good-faith argument.

Well put.

Would coproium be a real word?
 
At this point, Not Trump is a perfectly legitimate rationale. But I hasten to add Not Trump’s Sycophant Supporters as well. Lindsey Graham, MTG, Mike Johnson, Ramaswamy, the whole lot.

Kamala is the opposition candidate. But if it were somehow Lynne Cheney or Chris Christie or Linda Murkowski instead, I’d vote for them as many times as I could get away with.

Agreed.

"We have a two-party system with two functional, non-symbolic choices and I'm picking the obviously far better one" is exactly zero percent complicated and watching the Trumpers, including the "Don't you dare call me a Trumper" Trumpers put on these big performative histrionics about why we aren't concerned about doing a big dog and pony show where we wring our hands about "problems" with our candidate that range from "Total made up lies" to "not that big a deal" just for their benefit is obvious.
 
Breaking news! "Kamala" is a Finnish adjective meaning -- get ready -- brace yourself -- put your coffee somewhere it won't spill --

GHASTLY or FRIGHTFUL

Okay, now it's broken news. Relax.

I think I understand. If you're a Democrat with prior legislative experience you're corrupt and hence disqualified from office. OTOH if you don't then you're disqualified through lack of experience. :rolleyes:

According to Google Transate...
In Norwegian, it means Awesome.
In Esperanto, it means Sweet.
In most other languages it means... Kamala.
