Kamala Harris Presidential Campaign (Official Thread)

[Don Homer]

A few things

First, People are acting like just because someone announces they are running that they will win. Slow down. There are at least 30 Dems that are thinking about running for president.

Second, y’all have to stop thinking Trump is unbeatable. He is very beatable. That doesn’t mean he can’t win re-election, but it will be extremely difficult for him. Especially if the economy goes into a recession like its being predicted. Plus Hillary was one of the worse presidential candidates ever, and she still won the popular vote by 3 million votes.

With that being said I would be shocked if Kamala Harris even wins one state. She doesn’t have baseline support from any group exempt establishment democrats. I don’t think she will be able to connect with most Black people. The fact that she has a White husband is going to hurt her. Her relationship with Willie Brown is not going to look good. Plus her record as AG in California is deplorable. She is going to be called out for defending corrupt prosecutors, and being on the wrong side of the argument, when it came to criminal justice and prison reform in California.

White progressives despise her because she failed to go prosecute Steve Mnuchin when she was AG, and working class voters won’t be able to relate to her. I don’t see a way she can win.

I love a whole first page of takes that manage to skirt any real commentary on her, or politics in general, and whole bunch of "nahs" by people who have no engagement with politics. Got it....

why she "hard on crime" but not prosecute steven mnuchin tho?

she a co-opted cop.

She's a good communicator (being a lawyer) and she WILL have an advantage with Black female voters in the southern primaries. Joe Biden voted in support of segregated bussing. That's gunna come out if he runs. Beto has charisma but why would Black women chose him over Kamala?
Kamala being Howard alumni gives her SOME sort of connection to African Americans that she sorely needs. (Obama relied on Michelle for that, but Kamala doesnt have an AA husband) White people are stupid enough to think she's African American (Jake Tapper called her that the other day) but Black folks know her "Blackness" comes from her immigrant Jamaican father.
I think college educated Black folk will be sold on her, but the working class Black voter...I dunno. I think Booker can connect with your average Black person better than Kamala, but Booker has issues with self composure that get him in trouble. (like that idiotic Spartacus moment during the Kavanaugh hearings)

Kamala has a fakeNess about her that people ain't gonna like...

 

[Trece]

It can’t

If she wins and people ask her what will you do for the black community her response will be

“ WELL THIS IS BIGGER THAN THE BLACK COMMUNITY, I THINK ALL COMMUNITIES RATHER BLACK, LATINO ,LGBT, AND WHITE NEED TO COME TOGETHER “

That will be her response

She into LGBT and transgender issues HEAVY

 

[Trece]

Avenatti is the strongest contender at this point.

She pro errythig except pro black

This is a ploy by the DNC to call anyone who doesn't vote for her sexist AND racist

Repubs win support with fear Dems win support by trying to guilt yah

Shea butter, blavity, and bmat Twitter would show out in droves for this woman. For obvious reasons

that alone gets her the hell nah

Dems are asking for a L

basically

I’m HU all day, I be got damned if I vote for that broad I ain’t trusting no “black” woman married to no cac get the entirety of the phuck outta hereshe ultra liberal, you hear daca and lgbt out her mouth more than anything

yea her not prosecuting Mnuchin was a punch in the gut

she has no problem locking up black and brown people, but if you're white and rich and jewish, no chance

 

[TallMan_J]

I’m not voting for any female president. Especially a Californian, (half) Black Feminist, Socialist, that’s married to a white man. A woman that cares more about illegal immigrants than she does here legal constituents. At least The Obamas were a legit Black family.

You can forget it, brehs. These are the same women that absolutely hate Black men and are currently trying to bury you in society. The Jamilah Lemieuxs in a pantsuit.

Trump is doing fine. What he’s done has actually affected me in a positive way. When Obama was in office, he didn’t do shyt for me (or you). Democrat politicians haven’t done shyt but stay rich and keep the down people down. They reward you with trinkets and trivial shyt for your loyalty. That’s just facts. I’m from Detroit and I grew up Democrat. No c00n shyt. If I decide to vote in 2020, it will be for Trump. Neg me and/or quote me if you want. I’m just stating my truth.

 

[Bigblackted4]

Anybody from Cali what’s her policies

 

[Carlton Banks]

Yeah OK.

Give not one fukk what you think about reparations.

I say Kamala isn't for illegal immigrants and you send me links about Stacey Abrams stance on illegal immigrants as your counter argument?

 

[Pressure]

She's not gonna win the black vote
She is pro police
she isn't authentic
She is married to a cac

Elizabeth Warren would be a better president then her
Biden or Bernie
get the rest of these lames outta here

Complain about someone being married to a cac just to turn around and suggest voting for a cac.



Sub is trash.

 

[JLova]

Yay, more intangible symbolism. fukk outta here, black folks are thinking critically now. That shyt won’t fly this time around. You went to Howard and have Formation on your playlist. Great, but are you gonna stomp for reparations? Gonna deal with the water crisis in Flint?

Lol, running on reparations means a bunch of white people are not voting for her. Blacks do not make up enough if the voter base for politicians to go all in on black issues. Some a y’all are not living in reality. So reparations? Not a chance. Flint? Perhaps, but there won’t be a single candidate who will run on addressing black issues and have a chance.

Anyways, Trump is getting that 2nd term.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Not really feeling her over Beto or Biden if I'm being honest. I like Beto because he's a true progressive and I like Biden because I think he has the best chance against Trump. If it comes down to her or Trump though she has my vote.

Dem primary going to be lit though. Beto, Warren, Biden, and possibly Booker, Gillum, and others yet to be named.

Biden
Warren
Beto
Harris

My order.

These cacs ain't letting another nikka, especially black woman in the oval office anytime soon

Does Biden even want to run?

Yup, has to be black issues that are parallel to white ones. Gotta do it on the sly.

That reparation dream been gone. Delusional militants thinking that shyt having a chance in hell of happening.
