She lived in a multicultural red-lined neighborhood. Her single mom, her, and her sister lived in an apartment above a daycare. She was bused to school. Her neighbors were firefighters. The village that helped raise her was blue collar. Even if her parents were professionals she didn't grow up in a white collar environmental.

Also, do you really think her minority parents were paid equal pay to other researchers and professors? Her speech didn't say blue collar, she said middle class.

From 12-17 she lived in Montreal while her mother was a professor at McGill. Crickets about that in her speech because it doesn’t fit the narrative.

Including that would not have taken away from her speech. Sad that her mother had to leave America for a better lifestyle.

Tweens don't get to pick where they live. What is important is that when she could decide for herself, she returned to America to attend Howard University (HBCU) and selected a career of service.

And by the way, where was her father on the biggest night of her life? Oh that's right. They hate each other.

So you're unqualified to be president if you're estranged from a parent? What a ridiculous comment.

+1 her father wasn't around and she adored her mother. Not exactly unusual. Also evidently he's cold, critical, and humorless.

She needs him for exactly nothing.

Harris is a decent person and perhaps her father is too. Her father probably loves her and misses his baby but he is likely disappointed in the fact that his daughter is now a bought and paid for puppet of one of our two awful major political parties.

Please provide one shred of evidence that Kamala is a "decent person," as most people would define that. And by the way, her father is a Marxist.

The convention was full of stories about how she’s a decent person. My favorite was Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s. And if he’s a Marxist it’s good that they’re estranged, no?

Yes, I'm sure at the hand-picked, carefully curated convention where people will say anything to get stage time, they all had nice things to say about her.

Why don't we ask one of the 92% of her staff in the VP's office who has quit in the last 3.5 years because of her screaming, bullying and belligerence, if they think she is a "decent person?"

Yes, better to pick the guy who wanted his Vice President eliminated and almost killed his advisor doing debate prep with full blown Covid.

I’ll play. She’s in a blended family and her step kids— and their biological mother— clearly adore her. As someone with two step parents, I will say that that speaks very well of her. Step parent an incredibly tough role to pull off well. Kids know when you’re phoning it in. Exs are predisposed to be defensive.

How can it be a blended family when Harris has no kids of her own? Theres nothing to blend? Some people have lost all common sense!

Of course it’s easier !! The challenge is when you have step siblings! Sheesh.

As noted in PP, even hardened criminals and Mafia members "clearly adore" evil family members.

Why don't you ask the 92% of her staff members who have left her employ, due to her screaming and bullying? Ask them if she is a "decent person." They know her better than you do.

Except teen step kids and their bio mom aren’t really family (let me finish, I’m not JD Vance) unless you put a lot of care and effort in. They can be people you co-exist with, more or less peacefully. They can be the person your parent married, and then you went to college and seeing them is the price of seeing your “real parent”. Or they can be people who play a real parental role in your life. Its takes effort to get option 3.

Again teens— not stupid about this. Your ex— even less so.

Except that in this case, Kersten Emhoff has come out and explicitly said that Kamala Harris has been a valuable and loving co-parent and that the three of them (D Emhoff, K Emhoff and K Harris) have shared parenting duties since Doug and Kamala were married.

So, in this case, it sounds like Harris "put a lot of care and effort in". Her step-kids and their mom all talk very highly of her and have been very supportive of her career. They have campaigned and/or supported her both in 2020 and in 2024. Sounds to me like they think she is a decent person.

Yes. We are saying the exact same thing.

Cross-posting: The Uncommitted movement's speech (which they did not get permission to make last night at the DNC) was actually very clearly pro-Harris, pro-Democratic, pro-Human rights and pro-peace. It is a unifying speech, and a missed opportunity in many ways. I look ahead to progress in the future, and I appreciate the hard work and dedication for all those who peacefully and with determination fight for human rights. Thank you to all those involved in such a way.

Harris and Walz have my vote and the vote of my family and friends.

My gen Z teen son's tier list for most memorable DNC speeches:
S (superb) tier - Michelle Obama
A tier (really good) - Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris
B tier (nice) - Barack Obama, Rev Warnock, Tim Walz, State by State roll call (esp Georgia/Lil John), Kamala's grand-nieces
C tier (ok) - Joe Biden, Oprah, Wes Moore, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Kamala's husband
D tier - Pelosi

I'd add to the B tier Adam Kinzinger Gretchen Whitmer, and AOC.

Could have done without Bill Clinton and Nancy Pelosi entirely.

This is so incredibly ignorant, I don’t even know where to start.

Someone posted last night that “OMG there was a Black undecided voter who’s voting for Trump after Kamala’s speech!!!!!1!1!” burying the lede that six of the eight previously undecided voters on the panel were now voting for Harris. Turns out that the one “undecided” voter who’s still voting for Trump is a ringer who lied and said he was undecided and CNN didn’t vet him.

Of all the crazy s**t that happened between 2016 and 2021, this is the one that will probably never cease to blow my mind. The dude literally tried to get his own VP killed while he just sat there watching TV in the white house dining room.

The people who left were part of the prior Chief of Staff team. You realize trump had 44 cabinet members in his 4 years, and 41 of them are not endorsing this candidacy. And he wanted his Vice President dead.

Nice try, but incorrect. Obviously, you missed the scathing article in Politico about what a narcissistic horror she is to work with.

Because CNN has gone hard right and they’re working for the GOP. They use a lot of “undecideds” and “independents” who are big ol’ Republicans.
