Politics The Kamala Harris Thread

Has Barack endorsed Harris yet?

 

There are a bunch that haven't as yet. I think you can count it though at some point, unless Michelle views her differently?

 

Isn't that illegal? And he posts "Sure did"?

 

Not illegal. It's a private company. Shitty. Souch for free speech absolutist.

 

I’m sure that it’s all fair game in Dons view.

 

Mile Johnson is threatening a lawsuit to prevent Democrats from running Harris.

 

Harris had best first day of fundraising in history. Then followed with best second day.

Democratic party nationally heard from 200 or 300 people a day wanting to volunteer. In the last day 28,000 signed up to volunteer.

 

Joe Biden was forced to step down, by our ruling class, after a disastrous debate, that was meant to boost his poll numbers. Cash flow from his donors dried up, causing a natural panic within the party. You can't win without billionaire donor cash. After many days Joe was eventually forced to "pass the torch", to the now presumptive democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Whom our oligarchy handpicked... for us.

Why did they pick Kamala Harris. Ironically: To "Save" America's democracy.

 

Yep. We need to focus on getting a single open primary for our elections. Using a ranked choice style system in which the top four contestants move on.

We need to get publicly funded elections. So that our elections don't rely on billionaire funding, And so that are political leaders aren't beholden to the lobbyists paid by these billionaire individuals and corporations.

While that will not be a goal of Harris's for sure, you can bet Donald Trump would make sure that that never happens.

Unfortunately we don't have the opportunity right now to push for what we want in this specific election. Right now we're on the defensive. We just need to fight off the attack.

 

If you can't get change out of either party, you don't actually have a two-party system.

 

I'm not claiming that we do. Or that we should. I'm simply saying we have a choice in November. That is the reality of the world we live in right now.

One of the options is Donald Trump.

That is a very bad direction to get anything that is important to you or I done.

I can't imagine anybody from the DNC who would be worse.

 

I understand. The elephant in the room is "Teflon" Don.

Sorry. That means nothing to me, in this discussion. It only glosses over the fact that, our democracy is being bought by our ruling class.

 

That was fast!

God... like, I know it's not actually going to happen, because no politician has ever told the whole truth, but it feels nice to hope again.

 

Rumors are that Biden will not be able to finish his term. That would mean that Kamala would not only be the first DEI President, but the first person to be president after getting 0 votes in the primary.
