I'm struggling to think of a person of colour that's done more harm to people of colour in America than Kamala Harris.
Declaring her your VP pick in the current climate, when she has previously blocked investigations into Police shootings and generally behaved like an absolute tyrant whilst AG in California seems to me a bit of a kick in the teeth for a lot of their voter base. You've got a lot of your supporters asking to defund the police, so what do you do? nominate a cop as your running mate. It strikes me as a bit arrogant, like they've said to themselves "well who else are they gonna vote for?"
Harris seems to lack any real principles, she changes her mind about key issues more often than i change my trousers, Pence will go after her on that.
Google George Gage and then tell me she should be VP of anything.
The Democrats are trying so hard to attract moderate Republicans that they are risking a major long term split in their own party/membership by seriously alienating a sizeable chunk of their base, who might start to look elsewhere in the future.
In 2020, of all years, I am not willing to assume that the US presidential election will work out for the best.
I can't remember the last time there was a win for 'the good guys' either in the US or here. Every election / referendum since 2010 has been vote by the populist / right wing side as far as I can remember.
Maybe this will turn the tide?
I read somewhere that one of the republican candidates in Georgia is a confirmed QAnon advocate, white supremacist nutter - just goes to shore the swamp of US politics is deeper than you think. Having spent some time in the likes of KY, TN, GA, TX and AL there's still a strong undercurrent of covert racism.
Hopefully, the New York Attorney Generals efforts in subpoena DT's tax records will prove successful.
It's true

The whole Qanon thing will end burying the republican party

https://twitter.com/TheRickWilson/status/1293900114705227778?s=19Personally I don't think Bidens the best choice but he's the only one who has a chance to beat Trump, I guess in a couple of years he'll take a back seat as Harris is primed for the top job
The polls look terrible for Trump - yeah, I know, polls etc. I’m worried about the kind of promises he’ll make if they still look bad approaching Election Day.
I'm sure Vlad's called Trump to tell him that he has everything in hand (well, the incriminating photos and his loan statements)
Thought this was a pretty good assessment of Harris as VP - pros and cons
The worst thing about marjorie greene is that, after some limited noises of concern from GOP leadership at the outset, they then did almost nothing to undermine her.
That, to me, is them tacitly accepting QAnon poison; more unfounded conspiracy theories, racism, anti-semitism being insinuated into the mainstream.

Thanks, I'd never heard of her and that's exactly the basic introduction I needed.
I like Tulsi.
^ Gabbard & Wang (*snik*) were who the US needed. Shame.
She ripped Kamala a new one last year (video upthread). It’s a shame because even though Tulsi’s policies were non-interventionist and socially liberal - she was nonetheless gaining support from the right (even some of the farthest right, which is wildly baffling) Americuh. Weird place. Having personally lived (and lost) in the cutthroat (win vs lose, health vs home, paycheck vs street, corrupt-as-**** US of A...
...and now less than two decades later watching the UK blindly walk down a similar path makes me feel sad and helpless.
At the start of the Dem primaries my forecast was Harris - I posted that, probably to the trump thread.
Disappointed she shone brightly and then faded so quickly; now feeling confident about how she can support Biden.
We know that trump cannot deal with competent women; in fact, he can't deal with women at all.
Both trump nor Biden are fantastically unappealing as presidential candidates.
As VP candidates, Harris is immeasurably better than Pence by any metric.
The last campaign was squalid; this one will plumb unprecedented depths with trump leading the charge.
The US is truly a trucked-up country.
I use Imgur to find out the latest news on whats going on, it seems Trump has finally openly admitted to trying to wreck the USPS to stop people voting.
He just recently sacked lots of long term workers/managers and replaced them with his own people to destroy the USPS!

Yep, Trump is stealing the election in real time. There are simply no checks and balances on him any more.
The US system of political appointees to head up the major infrastructure/law enforcement agencies is working as well as usual.
