Kamala Harris - Democratic candidate for POTUS - discussion thread

[Its On A Slab]

No, it's the left's way of saying that the man, by word and deed, has proven himself a threat to the Constitution.

Walz is the VP pick.

Always crickets when presented with evidence/facts-----such pesky things.

Truth has always had a liberal bias.

Should have been Shapiro and secure PA

I'm happy with Walz. His big dad energy will help keep the early momentum going.

Walz served in the NG for 24 years. He enlisted at age 17.

I really like him, and he's very likeable.

Good pick and doesn't mean PA will be lost. Work to be done but now there is less distraction with the VP pick.

Tim Walz said:

"You know, there's something wrong with people when they talk about freedom. Freedom to be in your bedroom, freedom to be in your exam room. Freedom to tell your kids what they can read. That stuff is weird. They come across weird. They seem obsessed with this...

..They see people less fortunate as scapegoats and punchlines for their jokes. We see them as neighbors."

An excellent choice.

Great choice. I think he was the right choice over Shapiro too.

You call it "overturn an election" but others call it "wanting a fair vote count."

Sure, if "wanting a fair vote count" means "wanting my preferred result regardless of reality"

Shapiro had more pizazz and would have brought PA. However, there are still a lot of anti-Semites in this country and I'm pretty sure having three of the top four people in the WH be Jewish. Walz hits me as a Tim Kaine kind of choice...

Not 3 seconds before I flipped back to this board, someone on X was already calling him Tim Kaine 2.0. He wasn't complaining, either.

good pick

Whew...I was worried she would select Shapiro. He is a smart , savvy politician. Shapiro might as well switch party. He is going nowhere nationally as a Dem.

Not so fast. If this ticket gets whacked in 2024, it could signal a change in direction by the Dems who will immediately have their eyes on 2028. Harris and Walz will be painted as full-blown progs and the Dems will have to decide if moving further left is in their best interests or if a subtle slide back to moderate positions will work better for them. This ticket feels like an experiment to me.

Lol in what world would he go anywhere nationally with Republicans?

if we lose 24 there is never another election, we all know it

but that was the hottest of takes

 

[Go Bama]

There probably will be rigged elections.

I don't really think Walz = Kaine. IMO Kaine was kind of cringey and boring. I don't feel the same way about Walz. Although its very possible that like Kaine, Walz doesn't really move the needle when it comes to the electoral college.

I also prefer Walz's style to Shapiro's personally. I may be in the minority idk, but Walz seems much more likable overall than Kaine or Shapiro. (Not that I find Kaine or Shapiro unlikable I just don't feel drawn to them at all)
