You know how they say that many people voted for Biden in 2020 because of their dislike of Trump? I think the same thing could be said of voting *against* Trump by voting for Harris. In other words, even if you don't like everything Harris does, she's still vastly better than Donald Trump.
shareYour comment reminds me of an old episode of All in the Family. A very left wing woman was running for city government. Mike and Gloria were big supporters naturally.
She was at the Bunker home and asked Archie just HOW she could get his vote.
Archie replied, “Can ya handle a shotgun?”
Kamala would have to bring one of her guns to my house and escort me to the polls. Well actually she wouldn’t. I am working at the polls on Election Day. I will probably see all the voters I saw who voted for Biden in the primary when I worked the polls in the spring.
I won’t ask, but I would love to ask how they feel since they voted for Joe in the spring and now they are stuck with VP Screechbox.

It is okay that you would support her “absolutely”. But no one voted for her in the primaries. She was just shoved down your throats because they finally could not hide Pres.Biden’s incompetence. Surely she knew about it and bided her time to wait for her party to anoint her, much like they did with Hillary.
shareThe nominee for president is “shoved down my throat” in every election. What is your point?
Some of us don’t have the luxury of living in Iowa or New Hampshire. We don’t get to say who the nominee is … ever.
Sigh….My point is that I worked at a poll during the primaries and all the Dem voters picked Biden. Then they got Harris. Why bother to vote in the primaries if you get someone other than the candidate you picked?
But you are obviously happy with that goofy woman becoming leader of the free world.She’s not qualified to be America’s Chief Dog Catcher, but hey, if you are happy, so be it.
She’s 100% qualified to be the president of the United States, but that’s not your point.
You, personally, are not voting for her. You want other people to not vote for her, but you can’t make a case against her. So you try the only argument that you can think of, she didn’t run in the primary.
Newsflash, no one else cares.
People are voting for her because they want to.
Newsflash, I know lots of people will vote for her. I have many, many, many arguments against her besides the fact that she didn’t run in the primaries. But I won’t waste them on you because you obviously have your mind made up and your head up your butt.
People will vote for her because they have no clue that she is not qualified in any way to be President. You think she is. I cannot argue with ignorance. If she wins, I hope you will be happy with this little Marxist running the government.
What makes you think she's a Marxist?
shareWhat makes you think she is NOT? Okay, just listen to her “we can be unburdened by what has been” speech. It is straight out of Marxist ideology.
Joe Stalin and Chairman Mao gave the same speech to remake their respective societies. You want to live in a Marxist “Utopia”? Well golly gee, I don’t!
Read up on this crazy woman. She’s an affirmative action hire who panders to black audiences with her Ghetto speak and is trying to fool low I.Q. voters into voting for her and all her leftist bull@@@@.
But if that is what you want, go for it!
You're being extremely general, and that particular phrase can mean so many things. What about her speech screams marxism to you?
Saying she's an affirmative action hire is quite dismissive. She happens to be Indian and black, but why does that automatically mean she has no qualifications?
No, her speech about being unburdened is straight up Marxism. Her father was a Marxist and she learned her lessons well.
Her “speech” does not necessarily scream Marxism to me. It is more like screaming, “I am in over my head and don’t have a freaking clue, so I will grin like the Joker and just babble nonsense that the hosts on The View will accept. And they will heap praise on me.”
I have believed that she was a terrible choice back in 2020 when Biden just had to play the identity politics card and pick her. She was a lousy candidate who had nothing to run on,
dropped out of the primaries because of her rotten record, called Biden a racist, then gladly accepted the nomination as Veep.
Her record as DA in San Francisco is abysmal. Her success in politics screams affirmative action. Just what this country gets when we put diversity above actual brains and talent.
So, go vote for her. At least one of us will be happy if this joke wins.
Kamala's father was a university professor who taught about, among other things, Marxism. If you want to make a case that he subscribed to those beliefs, that's one thing. The fact that that was one of the subjects he taught means that he was knowledgeable, but it says nothing about his own convictions.
Kamala was raised by her mother and had a very distant relationship with her father. So it's incredibly inaccurate and disingenuous to say that "she learned her lessons well."
You're just repeating talking points, most of which have been debunked.
Whatever…if it talks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck. And she quacks like a Marxist. Talking points? Well she talks the talk.
So “distant from her father”, yet she says she is black like him when he says he is Indian. So I guess she did not know him very well!
"Whatever…if it talks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck. And she quacks like a Marxist. Talking points? Well she talks the talk."
Republican talking points similar to "They're eating the dogs!" The ones that have been debunked.
"So “distant from her father”, yet she says she is black like him when he says he is Indian. So I guess she did not know him very well!"
You seem confused. Her father is from Jamaica. Her mother is Indian. Whether she is close to him or not, she still inherited his ethnic genes. Not knowing him well doesn't somehow remove his genes from her DNA.
Her own father has said he is Indian and not black. I honestly do not care either way. I would have voted for Bobby Jindal for President in a heartbeat, or Tim Scott.
Kamala, to me, is 100% phony whatever race she chooses to be that day for her particular audience.
If you don't like her, you don't like her. But don't make things up or spread lies. If spreading the truth doesn't convince other people not to vote for her, maybe the truth is a good reason to vote for her.
shareWhat lies have I spread? The words that come out of her own mouth are indictment enough.
The truth about Kamala is a good reason to vote for her???
If the truth about this woman makes you want to vote for her, your judgement is really poor. But it is still a free country. No law says you can’t vote against your own best interests.
whatever race she chooses to be that day for her particular audience.
No I do not mean speaking about her Indian heritage. I mean when she addresses black audiences and adopts a “ghetto” accent. Just listen to her talk when she is addressing “ my bruthas and sistas”
What is wrong with YOU. Open your ears and listen to this phony and her pandering.
I mean when she addresses black audiences and adopts a “ghetto” accent.
Open your ears and listen to this phony and her pandering.
Code-switching? Interesting term. When we were kids it was all about being on your best behavior in school and church. No need to change your accent!
It was sit up straight, address the teachers politely, no shouting ,etc.
Changing one’s accent is just pandering to a crowd to be popular. Too many Harris speeches sound like she is running for Homecoming Queen.
I watched numerous speeches and interviews and the woman simply lacks the skills or knowledge needed to be POTUS.
And her speech about “unburdening” is M arxist rhetoric. If you don’t want to believe me, look it up.
I also resent her speech about how everything is expensive. Prices are going up. Well, duh, genius, they’ve been going up over the last four years while YOU were in office.
I don’t need her substituting actual answers to hard questions with homespun nonsense about her middle class childhood, her pontificating about Americans and their “dreams, ambitions and aspirations.” WTF
Yeah, I have a dream, that she emigrates to Jamaica, runs for office there and futzes up their country. She is totally unfit to be president
Yes, code-switching. I didn't make it up. You can google it. It is a thing because too few people understand what it is and/or do it properly. It often inhibits their ability to excel.
Your example of "best behavior" is accurate. If you disagree with her choice of speaking and behaving in the same ways that the crowd would ... well, that's your opinion.
I'm not sure you know what Marxism is.
She's mentioning her middle class upbringing because she's running against someone who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. She's demonstrating that she understands and cares. Her opponent cares only about himself. She's reminding people that she can related, while her opponent can't.
I don’t need her substituting actual answers to hard questions with homespun nonsense about her middle class childhood, her pontificating about Americans and their “dreams, ambitions and aspirations.”
Don’t want to belabor this. I don’t think you made up the code switching.
But to me it still smacks of pandering for popularity.
You are correct. I don’t like her style. It also smacks of phoniness even when she is not switching accents.
I really don’t like the millions of undocumented who have swarmed across our borders with her in charge.
Watched many of her interviews and I still can’t find one substantive thing I agree with her.
Don’t need to hear her “dreams and aspirations” speechifying when the Hurricane victims down south are dreaming of water, food, electricity and shelter.
I'm less concerned about "pandering" and much more focused on putting someone in the position who actually knows what they are doing.
Donald Trump does know anything. He really doesn't. His only concerns in life is to never lose anything (even if it isn't even something he wants) and get as many people as possible to cheer for him.
Most of the things that Trump says about illegals crossing the border isn't true, and most of his proposals don't actually address what is happening.
Harris did speak about "dreams and aspirations," but that was before any of the hurricanes hit land. Often, there isn't anything a President or Vice-President or any politician (other than the governor of a state or the mayor of a community) can do in the first week or so following a natural disaster. The only thing Biden or Harris could really do at first is make phone calls and make sure areas were given the supplies and personal they needed.
Trump was very irresponsible to have flown in. All he did was get in the way and potentially disrupt aid. First responders could have been blocked from getting to victims because of Trump and his people. It would have been better if he had just stayed away, but if he had done that, he wouldn't have been able to use the opportunity as a pep rally.
My biggest problem with Trump is that he doesn't actually give a rat's behind about anyone but himself.
Oh, I am also concerned about putting someone in position who knows what they are doing. And it ain’t Kamala!
How was Trump irresponsible when he flew in with caravans of trucks to help the victims of hurricanes? Kamala was all butt hurt when she said the governor of Florida was not taking her calls. Jeez, what a crybaby.
What exactly does Trump have to gain by running for President? He is wealthy, he does not need the stress. Or have to take this crap from the Democrats, people by the way who just LOVED hi when he gave them money.
Way before Kamala, I became sick to death of politicians and their phone calls, studies, we have to look into this matter bulls$tt.
I take my car to the garage to be repaired. I don’t need the mechanic to tell me that he will “study the problem” or that he grew up with people who owned cars, so he “feels my concerns”.
Holy crap! I am sick of the crap and being talked down to, especially by some broad in expensive suits and expensive jewelry.
The moment you decided to refer to Kamala Harris as "some broad," you lost my respect.
Not that you care, but that is just so disrespectful.
You should be ashamed of yourself!
Don’t be a phony. I never had your respect.
Kamala is just someone in way over her head.
I cannot believe that our country has gotten to such a low point that anyone is even considering this person for President.
Ashamed? I am ashamed that so many of my fellow citizens are too dumb to see through her crap.
What lies have I spread?
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 "qualified"... Skamala...😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
shareWhat DO you like about her other than she isn't Trump?
Name some actually accomplishments or policies you like.
yep or better yet can the OP name a policy he doesnt like from trump
like tim pool said thursday nght, 'you may not like trump but you can't deny he's right.'
trump is not perfect, but he is right about FAR more things that are fundamentally critical for our future. sadly the dem/left crowd tend to fall into emotional thinking, and/or become puppets for the MS media narrative. what they don't see is there are puppet masters BEHIND THE CURTAIN using them to achieve a bigger aim, which is to dismantle the American system eventually. this is the part they are missing inthe equation when they 'dismiss' trump based on superficial reasons.
V Lenin had people exactly like this, and they helped him take down the Tsar. Lenin called his own followers "Useful Idiots"
Great assessment! Great post!
shareEven though I'm a lessor and I do well for myself by renting property as an investment, I admire her policy of stimulating home ownership and the $50K she is hoping to grant first-time home buyers in order to make them owners instead of tenants. I'm one of the fair landlords. I charge a workable but likely below-market rate while providing quick repairs or replacements anytime something breaks down. However, that is not often the case in the rental word, and tenants so often get ripped off while paying someone else's mortgage. I hope more of these would-be tenants can become homeowner's under a Harris administration. That is at least one of her policies that I like.
shareYou might want to do a bit of research. That policy would be a disaster, raising property costs even more AND, where do you think that money would come from?
shareGuess what, everyone selling now starts the bid at $50,000 more.
shareI don't think it works that way, Oblivioid. I wish it did as a property owner, myself, but I don't think a government incentive available to a distinct population (as itsbananas2024 points out) is going to somehow raise every seller's home price $50K.
Having been on the purchasing end a couple of times in the past, if I saw a house or condo priced $50K more than its comparable, I wouldn't look at it and I'd avoid it even if the price were later lowered. I simply wouldn't trust sellers of that ilk, and I think a lot of potential buyers would feel the same way.
She says she will grant $25k for 1st time home buyers who are ELIGIBLE (limited). So that only helps a very specific set of people and $25k wont do shit. Especially where home prices are at today. It doesnt fix the root issue. Hell, its not even a good "band-aid".
shareI like Harris because she continually makes MAGAs and Trump cry. I haven't seen so many crybabies since my daughter was in daycare. If you very stupid and gullible MAGAs picked a younger, smarter and educated candidate for president then you probably would have won in November. Now MAGAs are stuck with a dementia patient who is way too old to be president and convicted of 34 felonies. Good luck with that.
shareI just received my mail in ballot today and I can't wait to vote for Harris. Usually I vote for candidates who I think will do a good job despite their party affiliation but this year I'm voting straight Democrat. MAGA needs to be stopped and they will be on November 5th.
I'magine how stupid MAGA is by voting for a dementia patient who is way too old to be president and convicted of 34 felonies. Yeah, good luck with that.
How about you shut up about it and vote for her already. No one cares about your mail in ballot and what youre going to do with it.
shareYou told me that you put me on ignore so why are you not ignoring me now? Is it getting lonely in your little echo chamber here? Why do you let me trigger you?
https://i.postimg.cc/0NHPVmYL/triggered.gif
I already explained this to you once before. Not going to repeat it again becuase you want to play stupid.
Now....How about you shut up about it and vote for her already. No one cares about your mail in ballot and what youre going to do with it.
Trump and MAGA cares. That's why they want to to eliminate mail in voting. Are you going to vote by mail in ballot or stand in line for hours just to vote for the Orange Shitgibbon?
I'm forgetful so quit being a pussy and tell me why you took me off ignore. That should be easy for you since you're a genius.
YES...I love $6 a gallon.
shareIf you are paying $6 for a gallon of gasoline then you are a complete imbecile. I live in Los Angeles which happens to have the highest gas prices in America and a gallon of gas here is around $4.
The only reason why gasoline prices were low when Trump was president is because during the COVID-19 lock downs nobody was driving around. It's called supply and demand and gas prices were low because there was a large supply but almost no demand. Do you not understand that?
Gas prices were low during Trump's entire administration. You can easily look it up, if your memory fails you or you were too young to drive and buy gas.
shareLet's try this again... The only reason why gasoline prices were low when Trump was president is because during the COVID-19 lock downs nobody was driving around. It's called supply and demand and gas prices were low because there was a large supply but almost no demand. Do you not understand that?
shareI told you federal charts and graphs are available on line regarding historical gas prices, among other things. Look it up. You can't just say it is so. Oh wait. You are a Democrat. Saying so, lying is exactly what you do, regardless of the truth freely available to anyone who chooses to look.
shareI'm not a Democrat but you are very stupid. You should be embarrassed of yourself.
shareSure, you are. There's this ability to look at any and all of your prior posts. Typical, verbatim, trollish posts and comments that all Democrats spout, when they can't support their own candidate and resort to trashing Trump, instead
If you find the time and can type in a simple key word search for historical gas prices, educate yourself
I think the point is that she's going to make sure that the price of gas just keeps going up.
According to Grok, the average price of gasoline at the pump in 2019 in the United States was about $2.60 per gallon. This is obviously pre-lockdown prices. Don't gaslight us.
What's her motive for that? Gas actually seems to gone down here fairly recently.
shareRemember? She wants us all to switch to electric cars. Which doesn't reduce emissions, it just moves them to coal turbines. I was thinking they're all nuts. Then someone on Twitter said, "If you think this isn't about controlling how far you can drive, you're not paying attention." They really want those 15 minute cities our overlords in the WEF are raving about. Besides, with them, it's always about control.
Either Elon isn't as smart as his billing, or he's a useful tool.
Perhaps you could give the people who are living paycheck to paycheck your helpful hints on how to stretch their budgets to feed their families, clothe their growing children, pay the mortgages/rents, pay the homeowner's insurance, pay for gas, pay for everything I've forgotten, AND pay for that all-important food?
I'll get you started. There are versions of this dish all over the Middle East, and boy is it tasty. And cheap! https://www.simplyleb.com/recipe/lebanese-lentils-with-rice/
You can add 3/4 tsp. turmeric, if you wish along with the cumin. Serve with sliced cucumbers -- I like to add Cavendar's Greek Seasoning to mine -- and a bit of Greek Yogurt.
Beans and rice are always good if your government is making you go broke. Maybe you have other favorite recipes.
I don't think so. I find it disturbing that you would vote for this utterly vacuous candidate, who has offered nothing to America or its citizens. Shame on you.
