As goes California so does the rest of the nation. Homeowners screwed by banks all over the nation benefited from AG Harris work.

And she was CA AG when Beau Biden was DE AG - where all those f:::ing banks are incorporated. You don’t think AG Biden didn’t tell VP Biden about AG Harris’ negotiating skills and will of steel. He sure the f did. That’s how she ended up as VP Harris.

Debate….bring it.

Really? The only President from California in recent memory was Ronald Reagan, and Kamala ain't no Reagan on any level

Thank God for that. Reagan was a disaster with his trickle down economics, drug trafficking and IRAN contra dealings. And don’t get me started on his just say no and amnesty for all immigration.

+1 Don't forget his venture capital investment with a start up called the Taliban.

But the very dumbest is taxing "unrealized capital gains" -- money you didn't actually make.

You just pulled this number out of the crack of your butt. BS.

DP - The New York Times is reporting that number--$5 trillion over 10 years: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/22/us/politics/kamala-harris-tax-plan.html

Here's another source from The Brookings & Urban Institute's Tax Policy Center: https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/daily-deduction/harris-backs-5-trillion-tax-increases-wealthy-corporations

Now tell us what the deficit will be if Trump is elected.

I didn't see that in the NYT but encourage you to share a reputable linked source if you have one. I'd sincerely be interested in the figure, as would others.

What exact economic proposal from Kamala did they used for this calculation?

The one that MAGA likes to pretend doesn’t exist.

The one she outlined last week. It is a solid plan and is akin to the smart economics deployed by Clinton and Obama that left our economy growing and our middle class stronger.

I know you MAGA types aren't much on reading, but you could take a look at the study and find out.
Or would you rather listen to what Faux News tells you it says?

Again….(again!) how the party nominates its candidate is not the same thing as whether or not a nation has free and fair elections in which voters can choose between candidates who have been put forward. We can vote for her! Or we can vote for the other guy! Or we can write in someone else entirely! Or we can not vote!

+1. How she got there on the ballot is irrelevant. She's on there now. So make your choice

It is 100% relevant. No one voted to get her on the ballot. You really think that’s OK?

Who cares? She's on the ballot. Deal with it

I cannot imagine the cacophony of millions of Dem heads exploding if the Republicans had pulled a move like this. But for you guys? Totes cool!

B.S. You must not recall the heads exploding over whether Obama was actually an American born citizen. I even think some lawsuits were filed.
For me it was irrelevant because he did get on the ballot, and when I went to vote, I had two choices -- just like we do now

Wasn’t he democratically elected to the ballot? Or did the Dems just say “here’s your candidate!”?

I think you need to familiarize yourself with the nomination process.

Enlighten me please

The parties decide individually how they want to select their nominees.

Read up on U.S. history. Focus on presidential elections in the post WWII era.

The ignorance is disappointing.

So why do we even have a primary if the party is going to decide regardless of my vote?

Do you think another Republican candidate had a shot in the primary with the a trump family owning the RNC? Good grief! The republican candidate is not a popular choice so how did that "official " primary process work out for you?

There is only one written copy. It is kept in a magnetic lockbox attached to the bumper of her tour bus. Only insiders get to hold it.

While campaigning, Clinton and Kaine did interviews together. While campaigning, Clinton and Gore did interviews together. While campaigning, Biden and Harris did interviews together. While campaigning, Kerry and Edwards had joint interviews. And Bush famously took Cheney to his 911 Commission interview and the Commission interviewed them jointly. But you go on with your MISOGYNIST self.

But those presidential candidates also did interviews on their own.

Call her stupid all you want. She’s not. She’s a former prosecutor who has run a campaign with amazing message discipline— and discipline, period. It’s going to be an amazing contrast to Trumps rambling and erratic behavior.

Plus, she’s younger than Trump and much more attractive. I think the visual of youth v age and Trump rambling and her shrugging, saying she can’t respond because he’s incoherent and weird and looking younger and better is a JFK v Nixon moment.

She does not need to be policy heavy to win because Trump’s main policies are grievances and retribution. Her upbeat campaign will do well against that.

Plus, Trump is on his heels. He has yet to find a good response to her. None of his insults are sticking. He can’t even land a good nickname.

Maybe I’m wrong. But, I think Trump looks like Biden did in his first debate when he goes against her. Definitely think more people than normal will tune is.

Kamala’s greatest asset is her upbeat, joyful approach to the nation’s direction. I think a lot of people are simply tired of being angry all the time.

+1 to all if this but at some point you gotta sell some substance. Or - we buy the sizzle to find it ultimately sucked. Her policies are actually pretty scary. Sounds awesome but doesn't actually fare better than Trump. Agree she's better selection than Trump but let's face it if all we have is sizzle, what then? The whole home owners credit (will totally drive up prices), capital gaines tax, her domestic policies to help on the financial front of taxing and saving on front end - yikes. She's a great politician so far. But then again she's running v Trump! I gotta believe anyone with a pulse and not senile would do well. The prob is after she beats him..

I worked at a supermarket when I was young. This was not on my resume or on any application for professional jobs.

There’s a lot of noise-making for the sole purpose of creating in the minds of some voters doubt. Know the tactic, and don’t get distracted by it. The other option is a serial liar, a felon, an adjudicated rapist, the a guy who stoked bigotry, stole classified documents, alienated allies, and fomented an insurrection.

I'm the same age as Harris. I worked multiple jobs between high school and college. I was a newspaper boy, I worked in a hospital as a patient escort, I worked in a local radio station that one of my friend's parents worked at. I worked at a Subway and a Captain D's (southern fast foot like Long John Silver's). I also have a 37 year career in IT. I don't even put all of my 37 years of IT experience on my resume, only those jobs that are relevant to any job I am applying for. There is no way I would take up resume space for high school and college part-time jobs that have nothing to do with my career.

Thinking she is going to put high school supermarket jobs on her resume when she is 60, is absolutely ridiculous.
