Wow, I have no idea what’s going on here.

Very confused.

I am SO ready for this election. Tomorrow if not yesterday.

It sounds more like Osita Nwanevu and New Republic are trying to take down Kamala Harris--on whose behalf?

“He has no good choices as far as I can tell.”

sure he does: Stacey Abrams ... she’s perfect as Biden’s Biden: less accomplished than biden, less well-known than biden, probably even less mentally capable than biden, even less charismatic than biden (if that’s possible), AND, drum roll, she’s a black female! in other words, the perfect non-threatening VP candidate for biden and who is also a black female ...

“Nasty and Schmuckie can sue him in court for trying to help folks through their Chinese epidemic”

yep, suing would definitely be the icing on the cake: first preventing Congress from helping folks in dire straights, and THEN suing President Trump for trying to do what Congress refuses to do ...

Don't forget (not that dems and half of republicans care), but Kamala Harris is not a natural born Citizen and thus is ineligible to become president or VP.

If selected, Indians around the world will donate to Joe Biden. Are we ready for the first Indian president of the US. I hesitate to even say Indian-American, as her birth on American soil was as accident of our laws.

Osita Nwanevu is shilling for DC swamp creature Susan Rice. His writing style is remarkably European. Does he use European ghost writers like Barky?

The call her HORIZONTAL HARRIS. I have seen some photos of Kams with Willie Brown
I think her age-30
His age -60

He got her a great (practically) no-show job on some California commission. I think it was the Coastal Commission.

At a time when black is all the rage, why is Harris trying to look more white?
Don't be fooled, they would all like to be white...That's the reason for their rage.

A second issue has the potential to harm Harris as well. It may make some people uncomfortable, including the senator. That doesn’t mean it’s not relevant.

The issue is how Harris’ political rise was fueled by her affair with Willie Brown, the former Assembly speaker and San Francisco mayor, who was married and more than twice Harris’ age when they began showing up in gossip columns in 1994. No one questions that Harris is very smart and highly competent and that she didn’t need Brown to have a successful career. But she didn’t just date Brown. She benefited at taxpayers’ expense from her relationship with a slick politician long “dogged by allegations of corruption and cronyism,” as the San Francisco Chronicle reported in 2004. Here’s what the very liberal San Francisco Weekly reported in 2003 about how Harris’ links to Brown — “a man whom many San Franciscans associate with political chicanery and self-dealing” — haunt her:

Aside from handing her an expensive BMW, Brown appointed her to two patronage positions in state government that paid handsomely — more than $400,000 over five years. In 1994, she took a six-month leave of absence from her Alameda County [deputy DA] job to join the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board. Brown then appointed her to the California Medical Assistance Commission, where she served until 1998, attending two meetings a month for a $99,000 annual salary.

While Harris told SF Weekly that her relationship with Brown was an “albatross hanging around my neck,” she said it was irrational to hold it against her. But it wasn’t the right-wing outrage machine that made their relationship an issue. A 1994 Los Angeles Times story raised concerns about the propriety of the Assembly speaker rewarding his “frequent companion” with a “high-paying” appointment. A Chronicle editorial the same week was even harsher about the optics of Brown helping his girlfriend and other buddies.

[E]xorbitant salaries for, in some cases, work that requires little time and effort by people whose primary qualification is friendship, amounts to a thumb of the nose at California citizens, who already are disgusted with what they perceive as politics-as-usual.

And, as the saying goes, “When Willie Brown came to power, California was rich and Willie Brown was poor. When Willie Brown left power, Willie Brown was rich and California was poor.”

Are the Democrats ready for grotesque attacks about the senator’s ex-boyfriend Willie Brown?

Oh, that's rich. The New Republic wringing its hands over the prospect of grotesque attacks against a Democrat after four years of it embracing the Steele dossier as revealed fact.
