Kamala Harris for President

Kamala has been Vice President for 1,301 days.

Prices are up 20.2% while real average weekly wages are down 3.9%.

If Kamala has a plan to bring down prices, why isn't she doing it right now?

It requires a congress to pass anti-price gouging legislation. The current GOP controlled House voted against it. Do you think a president or vice president can just unilaterally do stuff?

If Kamala has a plan to bring down prices, why isn't she doing it right now?

her plan includes:

-continue to bring drug prices down as Biden has already started
-continue to bring housing prices down by providing block grants to states for housing projects, as Biden has already started
-continue to invest in green energy and current record level oil production levels, as Biden has
-pass price gouging legislation so consumers aren't killed by the few huge food producers in the country
-strengthen consumer protection laws that have been weakened by the GOP

What is the GOP plan?

CNN: "Would it kill you guys to have a press conference?"

HARRIS SPOX: Kamala holds rallies so she can read from her teleprompter!

CNN: "A campaign rally is not a press conference."

HARRIS SPOX: "We're gonna be having a sit-down interview here before the end of the month."

HARRIS SPOX: No.

CNN: "Can you commit to a press conference before the end of the month?"

HARRIS SPOX: No.

The media she is "dodging" has been in the tank for Trump for years. They are owned by billionaires and corporate conglomerates. The fact the media didn't air her Phoenix speech but did air Trump's Bozeman speech later the same day is a tell. Why would she want to subject herself to such obvious bias. No one is complaining about this other than people who are in the tank for Trump. She is doing great managing her own campaign and her own message.

Hilarious.

Maybe the reason the media stopped airing her speeches is because it is actually the same 17 minute stump speech she has given at all of her rallies so far. Same words. Same gestures.....Why air something that has been seen over and over?

[…]

Yet they air Trump’s grievance whines and that hasn’t changed since the addition of his “good friend,” the fictional cannibal Hannibal Lecter.

You can keep DonOLD and JD; no one else wants them.

Columnists call for Biden to drop Harris, pick new running mate

Several columnists have an idea on how to make President Joe Biden more electable in 2024: Drop Vice President Kamala Harris and pick a new running mate.

Yes, voters think Biden may be too old to serve another four years, according to recent polls, but three columnists believe that a stronger running mate will gain traction in the country or even in the party.

In a piece urging Biden not to run again, Washington Post columnist David Ignatius suggested as a backup plan that Biden could replace Harris with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass or Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.

Ignatius says voters are sensibly focusing on Harris because of Biden’s age, while noting that Harris is less popular than Biden, with a 39.5 percent approval rating, according to the polling website FiveThirtyEight.

“Biden could encourage a more open vice-presidential selection process that could produce a stronger running mate,” Ignatius writes.

Biden himself has committed to Harris as his running mate for 2024. He said last year, “She’s going to be my running mate, No. 1. And No. 2, I did put her in charge. I think she’s doing a good job.”

In a New York Magazine Intelligencer column, Eric Levitz floats several options to replace Harris including Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) and Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-Ill.).

“To be sure, replacing Harris with another running mate is not a great option,” Levitz writes. “It’s just that Democrats have no good ones. It is risky to switch out the first Black and female vice-president for someone else. But it is also risky to saddle an 81-year-old nominee with an exceptionally unpopular running mate who — if all goes well — will be all but guaranteed the party’s nomination in 2028.”

Biden Owes the Country a New Vice President

This brings me to the matter of Biden’s vice-presidential choice. Kamala Harris, the current holder of the post, shares with Henry Wallace progressive values and a proclivity to verbal infelicities. There are no indications that she would be soft on Russia or otherwise swerve—as Donald Trump has—from mainstream American foreign-policy tenets. But neither are there indications that she has developed, over her three years in the White House, any strong, recognizable convictions on America’s role in the world, or how Washington should exercise global leadership. Equally importantly, she has struggled mightily to move the public on any aspect of policy, even those policies—such as civil rights and immigration—on which she has taken an active interest or prominent role. While Republicans, most notably Donald Trump, have leveled, and will continue to level, ad hominem attacks and unsubstantiated charges against Harris, they will be amply justified in making her presence on the ticket a major campaign issue.

There's good reason for Harris to brush off the media who mostly just want free content for their product.

If she is too scared to sit down with the media in the US, there is no way we can expect her to sit down with the leaders of adversarial nations.

This is disqualifying for her.

But starting an insurrection that led to police deaths and trying to kill his vice president and raping a woman and trying to bully a Secretary of State into finding him 11,000 more votes and being found guilty of 34 felony charges and separating a bunch of innocent kids from their parents is all NOT disqualifying?

Right? News organizations who shit post about wanting a new VP probably can’t be trusted to provide a good faith report about the interview.

These are the same people who ran 100s of “Biden is old” stories but haven’t seemed to notice that Trump is just slightly less old.

You know what? I am a RINO. I'm a Reagan Republican and I'm sick of what has happened to the GOP. So, I'm voting Harris/Walz because I want the GOP to come back to sanity and to get rid of the "basket of deplorables" and return to the reasonable Republicans. MAGA has consumed the party and forced the real Republicans out. The only way to get the MAGA out of control is for them to lose elections and to show that they no longer have the ability to win elections. We need real Republicans to defeat MAGA in primaries. We need to elect real Republicans and not elect MAGA. The only way for the MAGA republicans to lose control is if they lose elections and no longer have the ability to win general elections.

So, I will vote for real Republicans in primaries and general elections, but I will always show up to vote against a MAGA candidate. Country (and state/county/local) before Party. Party before Candidate. I vote to save the Republican Party from MAGA.

I always find this a bit ironic since Reagan was the one who originally coined the slogan “Make America Great Again,” and the dystopian novelist Octavia Butler knew it had staying power because the president of the dystopian America in her novel The Parable of the Sower re-used it as well. A highly recommended read.

So, to some of us, Trump is an expected and natural outgrowth of Reagan’s Republican Party, to the point where at least one person predicted the rise of a Reagan/Trump hybrid thirty years ago!

Trump and Reagan are basically the same. Trump just says everything out loud.

No way. Reagan was a moderate compared to Trump. Did not love the man but he also had political experience before he took office and was a political genius in comparison.

These aren't plans. They are empty promises. There are no specifics.
And, price gouging is NOT what is keeping food prices up. What is keeping prices high is the same thing that are keeping housing, insurance, and other prices high..... Biden/Harris inflation. The cost of labor, the cost of transporting goods, the cost of everything has gone up because of the Biden/Harris out of control spending.
And, if she plans to continue to raid Medicare in order to pay for her green energy projects - no thank you.

You say this like it's a bad thing. She's on message and not giving you concern trolls things to twist her words to use against her.

It makes it seem like she can’t think on her feet. That isn’t normal to say the exact same thing five times. No, candor or improvising. Trump always goes off script often to his detriment.

It’s obvious her team knows she has word salad problems and trouble thinking and speaking clearly. No biggie. She can still be president even though she needs Siri and ChatGPT esque robotic speeches for everything

A consistent stump speech is the most normal thing ever in politics. Your candidate is so weird you have no idea what is normal anymore.

Several columnists have an idea on how to make President Joe Biden more electable in 2024: Drop Vice President Kamala Harris and pick a new running mate.

Yes, voters think Biden may be too old to serve another four years, according to recent polls, but three columnists believe that a stronger running mate will gain traction in the country or even in the party.

In a piece urging Biden not to run again, Washington Post columnist David Ignatius suggested as a backup plan that Biden could replace Harris with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass or Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.

Ignatius says voters are sensibly focusing on Harris because of Biden’s age, while noting that Harris is less popular than Biden, with a 39.5 percent approval rating, according to the polling website FiveThirtyEight.

“Biden could encourage a more open vice-presidential selection process that could produce a stronger running mate,” Ignatius writes.

Biden himself has committed to Harris as his running mate for 2024. He said last year, “She’s going to be my running mate, No. 1. And No. 2, I did put her in charge. I think she’s doing a good job.”

In a New York Magazine Intelligencer column, Eric Levitz floats several options to replace Harris including Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) and Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-Ill.).

“To be sure, replacing Harris with another running mate is not a great option,” Levitz writes. “It’s just that Democrats have no good ones. It is risky to switch out the first Black and female vice-president for someone else. But it is also risky to saddle an 81-year-old nominee with an exceptionally unpopular running mate who — if all goes well — will be all but guaranteed the party’s nomination in 2028.”

Biden Owes the Country a New Vice President

This brings me to the matter of Biden’s vice-presidential choice. Kamala Harris, the current holder of the post, shares with Henry Wallace progressive values and a proclivity to verbal infelicities. There are no indications that she would be soft on Russia or otherwise swerve—as Donald Trump has—from mainstream American foreign-policy tenets. But neither are there indications that she has developed, over her three years in the White House, any strong, recognizable convictions on America’s role in the world, or how Washington should exercise global leadership. Equally importantly, she has struggled mightily to move the public on any aspect of policy, even those policies—such as civil rights and immigration—on which she has taken an active interest or prominent role. While Republicans, most notably Donald Trump, have leveled, and will continue to level, ad hominem attacks and unsubstantiated charges against Harris, they will be amply justified in making her presence on the ticket a major campaign issue.

And you want her to grant interviews to these aholes?

If she is too much of a coward to sit down with what we know is a compliant press, then we know she will be a coward when dealing with Xi Jinping or Putin.

We already know Trump is a coward with Xi and Putin.
