I was of the mind that all the noise about Biden was all greedy oligarch newspaper owners who wouldn't mind lower taxes, and Russia toll farms. I thought with the ballots freezing in September and the money Biden raised only could go to Harris, meant that it seemed unlikely that he'd step aside.
The history of late drop outs isn't good. Let Trump self immolate. From his lies about a bullet when it was a glass shard that hit him, and on and on, endless lies. He's not a real human being. A long time ago in the primaries, I thought Biden was too old, but nobody stepped forward to really challenge him. An elderly Biden was preferable to a felon pedophile.
I've been thinking about all the stupid behavior by Trump and his followers, is just a free advertisement generator. Mistakes make the left reproduce saying, see look at this, and thus they are living rent free in our heads. The right thinks it's smart, doesn't really take all the absurdities seriously. His base can't be swayed by evidence. Let Trump threaten to deport masses of people, let him talk about becoming a dictator, it's not really going to happen. Can't happen here. America is too strong. Or maybe it's deserved, maybe all these illegal immigrants and people who I think don't look American, should leave. There's a lot of flip flopping and befuddlement, appealing to base motives, white anxiety. There's not enough energy in the day to debunk every bullshit remark of Trump. He merits less attention not more.
JD Vance is a horrible person, terrible writer, not Appalachian, backed by a South African rich guy, another puppet to foreign interests. The endless repudiation of Trump can serve as proof how Trump turns people around, not what a spineless weasel Vance is, if that's how you spin things. I see this man who was vehemently against Trump, running with him as more proof he has no integrity. He's just good at being a boot licker.
I've deleted Trump and Vance from my mind, they are not worthy.
What of Kamala Harris? She's 59. Her husband is a Buddhist! He could be the first first gentleman, after being the first second gentleman.
I know she put a lot of people in jail, prosecuting the war on drugs. The left doesn't like that, but I'm surprised if the right could make something of that. The GOP is going to try to frame her as a radical leftist. Very hard to do to a career prosecutor. Even their lies have to have a shred of truth somewhere.
I read a profile of her in the NY Times and it was pretty lame. She obviously didn't open up or trust the NY Times--with good reason, they've been against Biden when they shouldn't be. They are complicit in the howling for his to drop out, and I don't forgive them for that. Course the Times needs to run a bunch of articles now about how old Trump is, right?
I guess we're going to learn about her now. I have a sense of dread about the right wing horror that is about to be unleashed in criticizing her. Stay classy America.
The right can hate her advocating for strict gun control in the past. I love gun control. 35 innocent children die every year for our so called freedom. A well armed militia doesn't mean people can own assault rifles. When Bush let the ban lapse, murder went way up.
Kamala Harris' father is Jamaican-American, her mother has Indian heritage. She would be the first American president with Asian heritage. She would be the first female president.
Her father was an economics professor at Stanford.
Her mother was biomedical scientist from Madras India, which is now called Chennai. It's on the coast of India, above Sri Lanka. She is a Tamil Brahmin. Her mother divorced her father, took the children to India a few times, and died in 2009. Kamala also went to Jamaica to meet her father's family.
She has a sister, 2 years younger, who seems impressive, and helps with the campaign.
Her husband Doug Emhoff is her age. He was born in Brooklyn to a Jewish family. He was an entertainment lawyer. He has 2 children, Harris only has step children. I find it weird it doesn't mention he's a Buddhist. Harris is good at keeping private and mum. Probably wise in this day and age. Emhoff has done a lot around combating anti-Semitism, and perhaps they want to emphasize that.
We're about to get a crash course in Kamala Harris. And how the Trump campaign criticisms aren't really stable things that have principles or ideas behind them. Like for instance the mental decline elderly narrative is going to go poof, and it is absolutely fitting for Trump, who is obese, 3 years younger than Biden, and demonstrates not mental decline, but rambling incoherent speeches that are shocking in the level of both boredom and lies.
We're going to find out how racist and misogynist America is, again.
I find all the people praising Biden for stepping aside, as kind of weird. If Trump wins, it's going to be seen as a huge mistake. Even Obama has written something. Of course Biden would think beyond himself and Trump never would, that's not even what is at issue here.
Everyone says it's a vibes based election not about policy, but here is policy.
107 days till election day.
“She'll be pushy, aggressive, uncharismatic. She'll be a socialist and a cop, a foreigner but also a Washington insider. She'll be all things to the right— whatever gets their cult to stay in line.” (Reddit)
Strangely I think her competence is a mark against her, Biden's kind of dingy nature was in his favor to some, and I've seen books that basically say presidents are always nerfed. She will be nerfed the same way Obama was, with vigorous opposition.
