40,000 on Zoom Call

[Anonymous]

Another 40,000 Monday night - the men didn’t want it be outdone.

“After a Sunday night organizing call led by Black women had record attendance and fund-raising, a group of Black men organized a similar call on Monday evening. More than 40,000 attended and raised roughly $1.3 million for Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign, according to organizers of the group, Win With Black Men.”

“You’re just like that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes,” Charli XCX said of the term in a TikTok video. “Who feels like herself but maybe also has a breakdown. But kind of like parties through it, is very honest, very blunt. A little bit volatile. Like, does dumb things. But it’s brat. You’re brat. That’s brat.”

haha Kamala admits she does dumb things and parties and says dumb things, that’s brat.

Is it too late to get Joe back?

I’m not sure this party girl strategy is smart. I’d like Warren and AOC and Porter vibes.

I really like Elizabeth Warren and I am sad I can’t vote for her for president. I don’t want to vote for a brat.

I voted for Warren in the 2020 primary and I was glad to get to. And now I’ll be glad to vote for Harris in the 2024 general, and since Warren gave Harris a rousing endorsement, you should be glad too instead of spinning off into right wing tones like you are.

I’m so sick of this. Dems were attacking me (haven’t voted GOP in 30 years) earlier in the year because I said Biden was too old and wouldn’t win. I’m the first pp and questioning if this strategy will work. In the past, we’ve had nerdy, straight-talking women show up with receipts, who garnered a lot of praise and votes. It’s not right wing to wonder if a “party girl” is a winning strategy since I for one don’t effing want Trump to win. This shut up and vote is really troubling, i.e. not a winning strategy since I’d like to bring folks over.

But the joke is that you can call her brat, but is she really brat? I mean, she is sharp as a tack. She was a former prosecutor and it showed when she questioned Kavanaugh. You don't get a future SCJ to cry about beer by being dumb.

She's smart and fun. That is a winning combination in my book. I loved Hilary. I love Warren and voted for her in the primary in 2016. I think both of them would have made excellent presidents and I will always mourn that they did not get to show that. I suspect Harris might be just as nerdy policy-wonky as they, are but it doesn't come off that way.

Another mene and "joke" that Democrats need pretzel-logic paragraphs to explain lol.

Why is she being brought up?

Is this a Maga bot or a Russian bot thing?

Barack and Michelle haven’t endorsed her yet. Why else would they not? Literally everyone else has

Michelle won’t say anything until Barack does, and my guess is that Barack won’t say anything until Harris is the official nominee. Nothing new or surprising.

I mean, it's all been explained:

Republicans interpreted that as a snub. But people close to Mr. Obama, who has positioned himself as an impartial elder statesman above intraparty machinations, said not to read too much into it — and had no alternate candidate in mind when he made the decision not to immediately endorse Ms. Harris.

Mr. Obama adopted an identical stance four years ago when Mr. Biden’s aides pressured him to endorse early in the Democratic primaries before Senator Bernie Sanders dropped out. (Mr. Obama’s favored phrase back then was “I don’t want to thumb the scale.”) Endorsing too early now would also be a political mistake — fueling criticism that Ms. Harris’s nomination, should it come, was a coronation rather than the best possible consensus under rushed circumstances, they said.

Instead, Mr. Obama sees his role as helping to quickly “unite the party once we have a nominee,” a person familiar with his thinking said.

He endorsed Biden weeks ago.

Obama endorsed Biden after Biden had enough delegates to win the nomination.

Obama does not want to influence who the party picks, but will be 100% supportive of the party selected nominee. Why is this so hard to understand?

You cannot be this naive!. Look I'm adem he does and is influencing who the party picks.as do all the rest of them at the top. That's why some get pushed forward others told to wait and others don't get a chance.

That's her base black women and men have always come out big for Democrats.

It's everyone else that has to step up and vote no coattail riding

Kamala is a nut bag who can't string two words together that make sense.

Then you must not be voting for Trump either. Have you listened to his speeches??

It’s not. The GOP is just grasping at straws because they are scared $hitless.

It’s time to get out of the stands and onto the field to start working to get Democrats elected.

You know why there were in the end 45,000 Black women on that zoom call? Because Black women have always understood the stakes. They grow up knowing it. A lot of White women had to have Roe repealed to finally understand that women as a group were always on the menu.

PREACH!!!!!

No, but it is right wing colluding to fling around labels like “party girl”. I’ll guess about why people might decide to do that — especially with a WOC who also faces criticism for her background as a prosecutor.
There are a lot of people who claim that they don’t want Trump to win. Funny that this doesn’t stop them from denigrating the woman who can make that happen.

I’m paying attention to the fundraising efforts.

I guess that part of her identity isn’t as marketable…

It’s happening Thursday. I was invited today. Those of you who are not part of the DC Indian community have no idea how involved she is in the community. We’ve met her several times at Indian events in the city. And she’s always been very articulate.

She also won't have the Israel-Hamas baggage the way Biden did. I'm curious how Muslims in Michigan react to her candidacy.
