If Kamala Harris was white she wouldn’t be the pick.

[grapedrink]

I'm lost. Below is the portion of the post I quoted. That below is demonstrably incorrect. The odds are NOT almost always stacked against the incumbent.

OK, correct, I had a Biden style senior moment. I meant to say IN FAVOR OF the incumbent, as in Trump having an advantage going into the election because he is the incumbent. DARP

I might add Kamala Harris isn't any more or less of an intersectional token than Mike Pence.

I dunno, she will gladly play up her intersectional group memberships if it suits her purpose. Despite her at one time being in one of the most powerful positions to help disadvantaged people, and doing exactly the opposite.

Yeah and Christians are supposed to help the disadvantaged and Pence oversaw an AIDS explosion as Governor because Jesus and Moral Values.

The guy was a Roman Catholic until he wanted to be a politician in Indiana. Then he became a Born-Again Christian.

You have some valid criticism there, but people evolve and she was probably under alot of pressure to be tough on crime as AG. In any event with as bad as Trump and the rest his cabal is it is far from a deal breaker for me,

Whatever Trump is has nothing to do with what a total piece of sh!t Harris is.

And really? Knowingly keeping innocent people in prison, arresting single mothers for their kids’ truancy and blocking DNA evidence that would exonerate a DEATH ROW inmate is not a deal breaker for you?

Really?

You don’t have to vote for either of the two parties’ candidates you know...

I didn’t in 2016 and I’m not doing it this year either. It’s really easy.

The problem these guys have isn't that Harris is unqualified, because they clearly care fvck-all if someone is qualified for office.

Their problem is that she's not white.

I guess 32% of black voters don’t like her because she’s not white...

Democrats Give Thumbs Up to Harris But Are Black Voters On Board?

Earlier this week, Joe Biden named Kamala Harris as his running mate. Democrats overwhelmingly like the California senator and have their eye on her to hold the top spot in 2024 if the Democratic ticket loses this time around, but a third of black voters say the announcement makes them less...

Harris is a garbage human being. She kept people in prison longer to use them as slaves, she hid evidence that proved the innocence of incarcerated individuals. She even knowingly blocked exculpatory evidence from coming out for a guy on death row who was innocent.

Opinion | Kamala Harris Was Not a ‘Progressive Prosecutor’ (Published 2019)

The senator was often on the wrong side of history when she served as California’s attorney general.

www.nytimes.com

She is a very very bad person.

Here's where I have a problem with your post. Part is true, and part isn't fair. I'm left to wonder where the line is. You've left med unable to say, "Duffy said it, so it's probably true.

She didn't try to keep people in Jail past their sentence. Someone in her office argued before a judge that an early release was a problem because the prisoner wan needed for fire fighting. Kamala then over rode her subordinate. And yes, that was Early Release. Their sentence wasn't done. I thought the law,and order right wanted thed convicted to do their full time.

See? Three really important facts that were twisted.

Then next. She didn't prevent DNA evidence. She argued against a new trial. Every prisoner makes frivolous motions to try to get out. Every district attorney argues against them. It is a Judge that decides.

This is just our system. All the world is a stage, we are mearly players.

Then as to our current choice. You said Kamila is a horrible person. You gave a few questionable instances involving a few people. I've never heard you say tRump is a horrible person. He has committed treason, didn't stand up for our soldiers when Russia put a bounty on them. And most importantly, there are 170,000 dead because he didn't want to spook the economy. 170,000 dead, and that's just as of this coming week.

Sure, I'd rather have Klobuchar. But that isnt our choice. You're voting in California, so your protest vote won't hurt anything.

I'm not sure how actively including a minority in the power structure of the nation is somehow considered racist. Biden is being better than just "i'm not a racist", he's actively promoting an anti-racist agenda.

You're just being stupid again.

Where's the rulebook that says what criteria you have to use for determining a person's qualifications?

You admittedly voted for a guy BECUASE HE'S AND ASSHOLE.

You voted for a guy who, for decades, has ripped people off, redlined his apartment buildings, driven countless businesses into the ground, owes money to god knows how many foreign entities, can't get a loan in the United States.

If that's your criteria for picking someone to be president, I think skin color and gender are pretty fair criteria.

You're being ridiculous here and reaching far, even for you.

Using race as a qualification is racist. Using sex as a qualification is sexist. You'd have a little more to stand on IF Biden and the DNC didn't ACTIVELY say that they were only picking a woman of color for a VP candidate. Turn the tables and look at how that looks. Beyond that, it's pandering and the soft bigotry of low expectations. It would have been a lot more respectable if they didn't say anything about the demographics of the VP and just picked one.

And how is doubling down with racism promoting an "anti-racist" agenda?

All you do is whine, your complete lack of self awareness will not allow you to see it.

Remember what I said about personal attacks. It means I'm right because you have nothing else to say

LMAO. Remember what I said about an hour after the announcement?

Biden says he would prefer a person of color or a woman as his vice president | CNN Politics

Former Vice President Joe Biden said Tuesday that when picking a running mate, he would prefer someone who was "of color and/or a different gender."

www.cnn.com

It's right there in the open, even with CNN"s garbage take

 

[Random Guy]

its Surprising that the teams aren’t in agreement how good a go pick kamala Harris is, isn’t it?

 

[Surfdog]

Saying a year in advance that a female POC will be his LIKELY VP is nothing BUT pandering and racist.

Why in the hell would he purposely narrow the wide potential field to that niche, if it wasn't?

 

[GDaddy]

That's untrue and you should stop saying it. The LOL is because Biden stated in advance that his pick would be based on a specific race and gender. Along with the threats and demands that he do so.

100% identity. Not that Harris isn't the first affirmative action nominee because Palin was picked based on her gender, too. The righties were just smart enough not to publicly threaten the McCain if he didn't do it.

The righties have sufficient cause to criticize her current politics. And that should be sufficient. And to the extent that Biden shares some of those politics, it doesn't become racist when the same criticisms getting levied at Biden's politics are levied at her politics.

 

[enframed]

I have no problem if she was picked because she is a woman and black. Call it what you will. She is also more qualified than either on the republican ticket.

^That is not an endorsement, either.

 

[hammies]

She's safe because she's experienced at the state level as AG, federal level as Senator, spent some time running for Prez so she's experienced that kind of pressure and scrutiny, and isn't so liberal that she would alienate moderate independents.

I don't much like her but if Biden gets elected and something happens and she has to take over, she's capable of doing the job. Maybe not great but certainly better than the guy we've got in there now, although that's a really low bar.
