Joe Biden selects Senator Kamala Harris as his VP Pick

[Althalucian]

I suspect Trump is going to tweet out Pence is stepping down and Nikki Haley is up next. Pence will not be informed before hand.

lol had the same thought. Trump will do anything - he dgaf.

I might vote for Biden just so I can say I voted for Kamala

Kamala Harris was a progressive pioneer as San Francisco district attorney

Interesting article. The author, a public defender who faced off against Kamala Harris was on Rachel Maddow tonight. She talked about what she wrote, how she left out other good things Kamala apparently did in the article, and why she thought it was important as a public defender to defend DA Kamala Harris because she felt Kamala faced all criticism with no highlights or mentions of successes. I didn't know about any of that in the article.

Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell tonight highlighted a time as AG when Kamala walked away from a $4 million relief bank settlement that was suppose to help homeowners due to the mortgage crisis. She demanded more money and got $18 million for the state, and other states got more money too. I had no idea she accomplished that.

It seems like people are coming to her defense since they know people are going to harp on her record as DA and AG again. I'm somewhat interested in learning more positive things that Kamala accomplished as DA and AG. I don't like to just go on anger, outrage, negatives and one sidedness. I like to see the full scope of positives and negatives.

Unfortunately, the National Mortgage Settlement was a disaster around the country. The only good thing about it was homeowners like my parents who were underwater in their house, short sold their home, and they got the six figure debt they had left over forgiven. That's in MD. In CA, many people went through that.

David Dayen had a good piece on it: Kamala Harris Celebrates Her Role in the Mortgage Crisis Settlement. The Reality Is Quite Different.

All I have to say about this is good thing I vote in NY which renders a vote for the Dems the equivalent of pissing in a sea of piss or I'd actually have to vote for this god forsaken ticket...

Dems continue to shoot themselves in the foot though...

I cannot defend this shyt...

Be lucky you live in NY clown sauce

im sorry, are you implying there was a VP choice that 100 percent of people would have liked

let me assure you that "whether you like warren or not" would have been a talking point

 

[Gains]

Let's play a little game. Outside of dikk Chaney can anyone name without looking it up 10 things either negative or positive that a VP was either solely responsible for or mostly responsible for in the last 20 years or so?

George H W ,


edit.

my bad ,you meant within 20 years

Real talk. Was Kamala going to win her senate reelection? I can't shake the feeling Biden saved Kamala's ass from going through reelection torture.

nikka shut up.. of course she was going to win her senate re-election

Bro what do you mean? The idea a former prosecutor would energize black votes because she is 50% black is bullshyt..... I am ok with this because even Biden thought we were monolithic and its about time these fukkers realize that college educated black people, church black people, and working poor black people aren't a monolith.



They want the majority of black people to come around announce policies aimed at idk...... Helping black people. They need us not to just kick Trump out but to try and hold onto power in 2022..... So idk maybe announce and run on policies aimed at black people. Reparation is a word that describes that but policies aimed at helping us can come in different forms

We know they aint going to defund the police...... but maybe create a system to hold them accountable. Literally just force police officers to get licenses they can lose like Lawyers and Doctors for misconduct, and an outside federal agency to investigate deaths caused by cops.

I already mentioned making Black maternity a real issue but don't act like punks and pay med schools to give bias training. That is a stupid as fukk idea because most doctors people see graduated med school years ago. Tax hospitals for deaths of mothers/babies that aren't identified as high risk prior.

breh, she wasn't going to win her own state in the primary...

There were even polls that had Andrew Yang outpolling Kamala in California back in November/December

George H W ,

hw and spiro agnew were both very significant vice presidents. nixon was also pretty important in the eisenhower administration. republicans in general have tended to have more powerful vice presidents in modern history. they usually have "attack dog" vice presidents who go after critics in the media
