Look, the liberal media is going to manufacture Kamala Harris as some great pick, but the readings from the Democratic base is quite different. This is a woman who was known for being tough on crime, especially when it comes to marijuana. That’s fine for normal voters, but remember Democrats are going through a defund the police/pro-rioting phase. This won’t play well to the most vocal and active parts of the Democratic base, who happen to be far-left in their politics. Some are also rehashing the fact that Harris was not some superstar campaigner, but actually a major train wreck. She bolted before her state’s own primary. While he’s known for getting his fellow left-wing colleagues blood pressures to rise with his independent commentary, liberal reporter Michael Tracey had multiple Twitter posts noting how bad of a pick this was for the Biden team. He did not hold back calling Harris “a nightmarishly bad pick.”
As mentioned, due to the Left’s anti-law and order stance, Harris is somewhat returned to her place in the primaries—at the crossroads. Where does she go? As Tracey noted, she has no constituency given her record here.
“Kamala's past as a hardline prosecutor doesn't endear her to left-wing voters, and her more recent embrace of an Extremely Online activist rhetorical style doesn't endear her to "Law and Order" voters. So, she's in a weird political ‘no man's land.’”
Yet, also be aware that everyone has their biases. That’s not a bad thing, but Tracey is a voice for the more progressive, anti-establishment wing of the party. He made that clear saying, “After all was said and done the Democratic Party donor and professional class got pretty much exactly what it wanted.”
So, the Democratic Party, the party of change, diversity, and one that has an authoritarian ethos to facilitate those former points has decided to pick…an old white guy and a cop to be their 2020 ticket. This is literally the “back in chains” ticket of this cycle.
[Michael Tracy's twitter posts:]
It tells you everything you need to know about the current Democratic Party intelligentsia that in order to get put on the ticket headed by an old white guy, the smart play is go before a national TV audience and call him a racist 1:33 PM · Aug 11, 2020
Kamala's presidential campaign was a total humiliating disaster. One of the worst of all time, considering the amount of unearned hype she received. Did everybody miss that, or what? 1:30 PM · Aug 11, 2020
Terrible pick from a strategic perspective, a governing perspective -- every perspective, really. There's a good chance Kamala repels more voters than she attracts. This was about party brokers / interest groups imposing their will on Biden, and him capitulating 1:45 PM · Aug 11, 2020
This is probably the best day of the campaign so far for Trump 1:49 PM · Aug 11, 2020
Tulsi's debate stage confrontation with Kamala was so effective because it was 100% substantive and informed by Tulsi's sincere beliefs on criminal justice policy. Kamala responded by smearing her with unrelated nonsense (Assad) -- she couldn't defend her record on the merits 5:14 PM · Aug 11, 2020
"That little girl was me" -- what a fucking joke, lol 8:00 PM · Aug 11, 2020
...Us geeezers still remember Eagleton...
That debacle ended up with a 49 state landslide victory for Richard M. Nixon in 1972
Biden chose a reject...........
<><> Kamala’s the one primary candidate who received ZERO delegates from her own party.
<><>Kamala was rejected by the DNC rank and file,
Joe’s no great shakes by himself but thinks Kamala’ll boost the ticket (cackle).
LOL
I have visions of a neo-Our Gang Alfalfa and Buckwheat movie running thru my head now...with Stacy Abrams waiting in the wings, salivating.
COMMAla...according to guy who lectured Tucker last night
I am afraid millions care less and hate Trump more.Millions will fall for this fidiots spew.
and she said her mother’s name was sham-a-la today.. no kidding.
Thomas Eagleton would like to thank you for that generous salute. LOL
Looking for her to use her scoldy mom voice on Mike Pence.
Cute——Stacey is “Little Darla” in a fright wig......LOL.
Only slow Joe could make such an astoundingly bad pick. Wouldn’t surprise me if he suddenly changes his mind.
I thought it was going to be the odious susan rice, who Ben Shapiro summed up perfectly as..... quietly sinister.
dissed!
12 Aug: WaPo: Tucker Carlson’s mangling of Kamala Harris’s name wasall about disrespect

13 Aug: Don’t know how to pronounce Kamala Harris’ name? Let these kids show you
There’s a right way, and several incorrect ways, to say her name.
By Randee Dawn
It’s just a short video, less than 20 seconds, but it presents several ways not to say Senator Harris’ name: It’s not “CAMEL-uh” or “Kuh-MAHL-uh” or “KARMEL-uh,” but rather “COMMA-lah.”...
The future Senator Harris shows up toward the very end to endorse the video and beam approvingly at a child...
So as we’re getting to know her a little better, it’s always good to start off with the right way to say her name. Back in 2009, a reporter for SFGate asked her about the pronunciation in an interview, and she replied, “You are the only person that’s ever asked me that. Thank you.
***Either think of it as ‘comma-la’ or ‘calm-ala.’”

COMMA-LA is also how the following Party’s name is pronounced!
Wikipedia: The Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan is an armed communist ethnic party of Kurds in Iran, currently exiled in northern Iraq. The group is currently proscribed as a terrorist organization by Japan, aside from Iran. Since 2018, it is a registered lobby in the United States... During George W. Bush administration, the group’s leader met American officials in 2005 and 2006 amidst approval of Iran Freedom and Support Act budget...
The group is ideologically Marxist–Leninist...
She’s unlikable to almost everyone, except for her Puppet Masters. For them, she’s just as perfect as perfect can be. Now, if only they can get her installed into the White House. That’s the stuff of dreams for them, nightmares for the rest of the world.
Interesting observation. I live in CT and have yet to see one Biden bumper sticker, lawn sign, etc. It will be interesting to see if that changes now that heels up Harris is the VP pick.
<><> Kamala’s the one primary candidate who received ZERO delegates from her own party.
How embarrassing.
Damn, that's one of the best oxymorons I've ever read or heard!
Pedo Joe and The Ho
Or Sniffy and Blow
Take your pick LOL
Someone needs to ask Harris the following:
Back during the primaries, you called Joe Biden a “racist”.
Were you lying then, at that time, in order to score political points or were you telling the truth and Joe Biden is truly a racist?
The Eagleton debacle did not help McGovern (nor did his making his acceptance speech in the early morning hours when most people were asleep) but I think McGovern probably would have lost 49 states even if he had picked Shriver to start with.
So far I have seen two Biden signs in lawns—both of them belonging to people I know (retired professors who are fanatical Democrats).
