Kamala Harris for President

Harris down in recent NYT national poll

Harris 47%
Trump 48%

Seems like post convention bump is gone and she is losing support. Maybe do an interview or press conference so people actually get to see her and ask her questions.

Hard core Dems will vote for her no matter what. It’s the Independents she is bleeding.

Harris visits spice shop known for hating and slamming Republicans, calls for end of 'divisiveness'


Do you know anything about Penzey's? They are the opposite of divisiveness. It's the ONLY place we buy our spices.


WAUWATOSA, Wis. - Wauwatosa-based Penzeys Spices, a national company, is calling Republicans "racists."

In a Friday, Jan. 14 morning email blast from the company to customers, the subject line read: "Republicans Are Racists Weekend."

In the email, CEO Bill Penzey addresses Republicans: "If you are a Republican voter you are now cheesed off. You were promised that there would never be any accountability for your support of the party of open ‘textbook’ racism. Sorry, but for the betterment of all Americans, you included, we’ve decided to end that rule. And I really don’t care what your race is or how many of your friends ‘happen to be’ whatever. None of that excuses you."

The company also posted the message to its Facebook page, which gained support and criticism. "I just threw out my ‘Be Kind Penzeys’ magnet. What a hypocritical company," responded one person.

In 2014, Penzey wrote that residents of Waukesha County had "fled west" to escape diversity in Milwaukee. In 2016, he accused supporters of Donald Trump of committing "racism" by voting for Trump.


In a Facebook post in 2016 titled "Cooking trumps racism," Penzey wrote of Republicans: "You really are a good bunch, but you just committed the biggest act of racism in American history since Wallace stood in the schoolhouse doorway 53 years ago. Make this right. Take ownership for what you have done and begin the pathway forward."

"He doesn`t know me. He doesn`t know anybody that I know that had purchased from him," Robin Moore, a Waukesha County Republican, said at the time, "but we're racist because we chose to vote for a person that in this country, we have every right to do?"

Penzeys Spices spent nearly $100,000 on Facebook ads in 2019 calling for then-President Trump's impeachment.

How is this not divisive?


It definitely makes me want to buy more Penzeys spices.


Because the owner insults republicans and is extremely divisive.

But you commented that Penzeys is the opposite of divisive? What you really meant is that Penzeys is 10/10 divisive and you agree with their stance.


Where is the insult? Please be specific. What is objectionable or false in the post?


It’s all true. Republicans are bad, all of them. America should only have one political party, the democratic party.

It is great that there are GOP leaders and voters who are supporting Harris. But the democrats win when their base votes. If someone is troubled by the idea that Trump is being called out for the racism, and that Trump is, in fact, a racist, and the racists support Trump; then one should either distance themselves from Trump or else be associated with him and not be upset about it.

You are confusing me with another poster. I understand why most retail companies avoid politics but this election is different and I appreciate Penzeys taking a stand against trump. Trump is not even a real Republican. He is anti American. That is not Republican.


Trump is anti-American and actually Hitler. Bush was Hitler until he hugged Michelle Obama. Then he transformed into a good person. Trump is the new republican Hitler who represents the anti-American republicans; which is every single republican. Only democrats love America. Democrats are patriots who always do the right thing.

Penzeys is the non- divisive spice company, they support democrats and post incessantly about evil republicans. Thank G-d. America does not need a two party political system. We only need democrats because only democrats support and cherish democracy.


If you cannot draw the parallels between trump's rhetoric and agenda and Germany of the 1930's, then that is a you problem. Read some history texts.


Bush and Trump are Hitlers and republicans are all Nazis.

America should have only one political party: the Democratic party. America would be a great place if we only had democrats in charge of our government, local, state, and federal.

Nate works for Peter Thiel now, and the site he supports is a betting site, not a polling site, so citing him at this juncture is totally useless.

Margin expanding daily.


And just days ago the Dems were downplaying Nate Silver and saying he was a political hack so his polling is inaccurate. Now he favors Harris again, they are beside themselves with excitement. Keep this up, I need the laughs



Nope, he is not running 538 anymore and is not involved with polling but rather betting. Different metrics.

If you don't like the truth, live a better life. It isn't divisive.


It’s not divisive if it’s from a democrat.

Everyone else is divisive.


Are democrats suggesting rounding up people and deporting them?
Are democrats suggesting imprisoning "political opponents" because they are political opponents?

Trump has done both in the last day. It is, in fact, divisive.

An ad or even rally are not enough. Those you are just repeating trout stump speeches that are pre-planned. People actually want to ask her some real question and hear her honest response. Her and Walz avoiding voters is turning people off. Even reporters in Lancaster were told not to ask any questions.

Well to be fair, a majority of Americans support deporting ALL illegal aliens.

Even 38% of Democrats.

So he is actually with 60% of the voters. If you don’t support deporting them, then you are in the minority.

Poll says 62% support Trump’s plan to deport illegals. That’s approaching 2/3 of the voters.

When she does an interview and the questions are all re-hashed GOP talking points, there is no reason to do an interview. When the main stream media refuses to run headlines today reflecting yesterday's news such as:



There is no reason to conduct interviews. Reach the voters as you can through ads, social media, speeches, etc.

Maybe.

If the NYT poll questions are like their reporting is these days, the poll may not capture reality among independents.

I’m an independent. I was very pleased when Biden dropped out and was impressed (and surprised) by Harris in the first weeks.

Here is the nuance: I’m less excited right now because she doesn’t pleasantly surprise me. She’s a solid candidate and will be a smart, tough commander in chief. She has my vote but I’m not breathlessly following her. I don’t want to breathlessly follow any candidate or president. I want them to do the job efficiently and effectively without drama.

Trump is old and crazy. Actually demented. And boring. I want him to proceed to the 19th hole now. I would have been more interested in the GOP had Haley been the nominee.

How is this not divisive?

1) cite your source in future, kiddo, especially if you’re going to copy and paste an entire article.
2) according the the Supreme Court, businesses are people with all the rights that entails, so how can it be divisive for them to share and fund their political belief?
3) if you don’t want to be called a racist, stop voting a racist. Stop voting for the party that has literal Nazis among its ranks. You might like to pretend that you aren’t a racist, and perhaps in your heart you are not, but you are voting for the party that is and that is supporting racism, which makes you… a racist.

That you can’t see this is beyond weird.


There is no denying that Bush and Trump are literally Hitlers, all republicans are Nazis, and all democrats are intelligent and kind lovers of justice and democracy.


Show me the republicans denouncing this 'nazi type' authoritarian rhetoric
