this is as good a time as any to remind everyone that kamala is an irredeemable piece of shit
yes it's nice that it's joever but kamala is fucking evil. she's a cop, she laughed about putting parents in jail for their children's truancy, and she wouldn't let cannabis offenders out of prison after it was legalized because she got paid by private prison lobbies to do so. total scumbag who deserves absolutely 0 support from anybody but the most trump derangement syndrome riddled liberals
She is a complete ghoul. She and her family are also mobbed up with gig work companies. They helped campaign against rights and protections for gig workers.
She's also ridiculous and really bad at what is basically her only job - winning popularity contests lol
Kamala's husband, Douglas Emhoff, was also a lawyer for corporate clients including Wal-Mart and Merck Pharmaceuticals. So, pretty similar to the Clintons and other neolib Democrats. But maybe he's gotten better recently? Maybe he has had a change of heart after seeing the guts of the imperialistic war machine? Let's see what Doug has been up to lately: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/04/doug-emhoff-anti-semitism-college-campuses-00125384
Emhoff: There is an ‘antisemitism crisis’ on our nation’s campuses
"It’s an antisemitism crisis to be clear on our campuses and even in our K-through-12 schools, on our streets and our markets, wherever you go."
Yeah, don't you hate it when you go to "the markets" and people magically know that you're Jewish and start saying antisemitic things to you? Who among us has not tried to buy avocados at Whole Foods, and been asked to prove that we were not Jewish before being allowed to check out? I know that children in Gaza are starving and getting bombs dropped on him, but please spare a thought for poor old Doug. I'm sure it's hard out there for Doug on "the streets." (/s)
iirc she was appointed to her first two public jobs simultaneously by Willie Brown, one of which she was ineligible by statute to hold (some kind of state public health board or medical board)
one part of my brain is agreeing with you, the other is entirely motivated by schadenfreude for Hillary Clinton. I live in Illinois so I’m not going to vote for her because it’s pointless here so I’m sticking to first principles but I also hope to relish in the feeling that Hillary lives to see that the first woman president is not herself
Kamala is a piece of shit and does not deserve the ticket
Kamala is funny unintentionally, and in the same capacity as Trump, I want to see her quarantined into her own talk show away from affecting anyone's lives
Joe Biden is also a piece of shit so I'm happy to see his ego bruised
I want to live knowing Hillary is forced to exist alongside the reality that she had no excuse besides the fact that people specifically didn't like her and that she fucked up in fumbling the bag to Trump
If Kamala won, Clinton wouldn't think "oh, I guess it was my fault". She would say "America wasn't ready for a woman president when I lost", or some other cope bullshit.
no I know she's not going to have a public outburst or a reckoning, fuck her, I just want her to live with the fact that she did not secure the bag and someone did it two terms later, even if she has to constantly make excuses for it. I want her to experience that cognitive dissonance and I want her to get 5% more insane excusing it to herself, I want her ego to dip further into unreality
I forgot she withdrew before the primaries even began in 2020 lmao. For some reason I thought she had gotten at least a couple delegates before flopping
The current primary systems didn't really exist until 1972. This was mainly in response to a bunch of people getting mad that the 1968 Democratic nominee, Hubert Humphrey, was nominated without a single primary vote because he simply inherited Lyndon B. Johnson's delegates.
National primaries weren't even a thing until relatively recently, but this is definitely a weird case--sort of analogous to the JFK assassination or Nixon stepping down, but those were both well before their respective conventions. Side note, but somehow I never knew that Reagan ran against Ford in the 1976 GOP primary and Ford barely edged him out.
edit: sorry, I now realize what you meant but I'll leave it up for the fun fact
Harris went on to say, understanding that Israel has a right to defend itself, how it does still matters.
Kamala Harris is literally turning a big dial that says "Genocide the Muslims" on it, and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right.
She's an awful candidate whose political career started because she dated the mayor of San Francisco who gave her a job which would sound like an awful sexist cliche if it wasn't true
mostly i'm hoping some dumb lib from lemm.ee or whatever will come in here to see our reaction to the joeverness and then see this and get pissed off lol
I think that's why they're gonna pick her. The election is already pretty much lost at this point and parading her around gives them like a triple idpol bonus that allows their voter base to cope with the loss by claiming they were too progressive for todays america.
I think there's a shot that Biden gets talked into resigning before January to officially make her the first woman/blasian president so they can go back to feeling good about running white guys.
This is the consequence of the narrative that Biden was unpopular because he was old, not because his politics suck. I would really be surprised if Kamala, who has the same shitty politics, actually ends up being popular.
