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
It’s pronounced CAMEL, and then TOE. CAMEL-TOE.
An alternative pronunciation is, WILLIES, and then HOE. WILLIES-HOE.
Supposedly Biden wanted to pick Gretchen Whitmer but his handlers wouldn’t let him. It had to be a POC.
Actually I thought Tim Cain was pretty awful too!!!
time to stock up on “That Little Girl Was Me” t-shirts. Although the price might be up a bit.
Willie Brown’s former Ho picked as Biden’s running mate. Harris’ first press release advises, “Just call me BJ.”
“Why waste good talent in a losing effort, hold the best for 2024.”
I was thinking that too. Get her out of the way for 2024.
Don’t count on it! The mediaVOMITS learned their lesson with hitlery last time they won’t make same mistake twice! You should’ve listened to all the splendid glowing articles and intros the mediapukes did on her today...ESPECIALLY FOX! You’d think she was mother Teresa and sister Bernadette all in one! I kid you not! I’m afraid the sheeple will fall for it the way they got snookered with plandemic ...hook line and sinker!!. I hope Trump avoids sensitive dumb tweets against her!
And when I see her face, I think of Rev. Slick: “You! Are! A man!”
That wretched Harris is such a spectacularly bad choice even by demented reprobate Biden’s corrupt standards,
I have to think some other game is afoot here?
Maybe some last minute ‘shocking’ changes at the convention to stir voter excitement?
Kamal-lama-lama-lama-ding dong!
Good thought, maybe this is why Willie Brown told her do not accept VP spot on ticket.
Dang, I’ve been wrongly saying that Susan Rice would have been the first VP nominee since 1940 to have not held major elective office...Somehow, I overlooked Shriver.
Eagleton of course was U.S. Senator.
By major I meant any federal or state office.
George H.W. Bush was a one term U.S. Congressman.
All irrelevant if Biden loses.
“Mama Sham-Wow”
Not sure how respectful I am of a hoe whose greatest talent is sucking a golfball through a garden hose...
