Didn't she go to Quebec schools k-12 and implied she was bussed around Oakland, Cali.? Her mom didn't move to Oakland until Kamala was a college student at Howard. |
lol, you are unhinged. Who are you hoping will believe this bs? |
Only Kamala could think that having dual -HD parents is "middle class". Her dad was a blue collar Stanford professor! LOL. Seriously, what percent of American households are dual PHD parents? It has to be less than 1 in 50,000...say a 7,000 households or so in the entire country! Maybe that's why she can't connect with anyone who isn't doling out appointments to government jobs. |
No not even close. Born in Oakland Oakland age 0-2, 1964-66 Champagne, IL age 2-6, 1966-70 Berkeley age 6-12, 1970-76 (during which time she was bussed from majority black Berkeley flatlands to Thousand Oaks Elementary (which before busing was 95% white) Montreal age 12-18, 1976-1981 I don't know where her mom lived while Kamala was at Howard but she actually attended college in Canada for one year (Varnier college) before transferring to Howard. It is not unusual for kids of professors to move around like this because tenure track jobs are very rare and non-tenure track jobs are not always very stable. I don't know why people talk about her parents having PhDs as some sign of great privilege. No one knows better than conservatives that PhDs rarely make much money and don't have great job security -- that's why they discourage their kids from going into academia. It's actually a very difficult life for most. |

Do you remember when Vance called trump America’s Hitler? |
PhDs do not make a lot of money. Even at Stanford they mostly do not make a lot of money. It is a middle class job for most. Her parents are also both immigrants and it's harder to build wealth even with decent middle class jobs when you come from absolutely nothing -- they had to survive on grad student incomes as newlyweds and new parents and it took years for them to get established enough in their careers to provide more stability for their kids. |

Only DCUM wouldn't understand that Stanford/Berkeley PHD parents aren't middle class. Literally the first answer from google: Assistant Professor: $128,000–$152,000 for the 2025–2026 academic year Associate Professor: $165,000–$180,000 for the 2025–2026 academic year Full Professor: $190,000–$320,000 for the 2025–2026 academic year |
Her PhD parents were tenure-track professors. On what planet is that "unstable" and not immensely privileged? Especially in the early 80s when only 15-20% of American parents even had a BA. How were her and her sister discouraged from academia when they both have BAs and JDs? Kamala spent 8 years in college (5 years of undergrad and 3 years of law school). |
Most of America believes this. It’s only those people in the DCUM bubble that don’t. That’s why this is a close election. |
Hello DCUM bubble person. |
They weren't tenure track her entire life and spent a ton of time moving around and taking academic jobs where they were offered-- that's why Harris moved 3x during her childhood and it's part of why her parents split up (and why she didn't live near her dad for most of her childhood). And no one said Kamala or her sister were discouraged from academia. I said that conservatives discourage their kids from getting PhDs because it is NOT lucrative. Notice me there Harris or her sister got a PhD? They got law degrees. They chose not to spend their careers in academia. I have a BA and a JD and my mom never went to college and my dad has a BA. Like Harris, I grew up middle class with some family instability and sought out educational opportunities that would offer me greater stability as an adult. |
Am I in the bubble or is it the person who thinks college professors are well off? Because one of us has a very myopic (and incorrect) view of what life is like for academics, and it's not me. |
