[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: Why isn't Kamala campaigning this week? For the second day in a row - 13 days before the election - no rallies, no appearances. Just prepping for short sit-down interviews.

I hate to be the one to put this out there, but - I think she's thrown in the towel. How else to read this?

OP, your enthusiasm is appreciated, but if the candidate doesn't have it, how can we?[/quote]
This week:
Vice President Kamala Harris and former Rep. Liz Cheney on Monday wrapped up a series of moderated conversations in Wisconsin, where they continued to make the case that Donald Trump is unfit for the presidency.

On Tuesday, she will record an interview with NBC’s Hallie Jackson at 3:40 p.m. ET in Washington, D.C. At 4:30 p.m., the Democratic nominee will tape an interview with Telemundo’s Julio Vaqueiro.

Harris will travel to Pennsylvania on Wednesday and participate in a CNN Town Hall event in Chester Township, just outside of the Philadelphia metropolitan area.

On Thursday, the vice president will be in Georgia for a campaign rally, joined by former President Barack Obama

Harris is expected to visit Texas on Friday to attend a campaign event in Houston focusing on abortion rights and rally with Rep. Colin Allred, D-Texas plus recording Berne Brown’s podcast.[/quote]

Ok, so that’s like one event per travel day, with the exception of the last day, where she does 2 events.

That’s not nearly enough. He’s doing 2-3 travel events a day, with interviews in between.

She’s acting like she’s not really interested in winning. I don’t understand it, or her motivation here.

It’s worrisome. [/quote]
Everything that I have read about Harris’s management style as Veep indicates someone who is very high maintenance. This is most likely an intentional schedule either requested by her or decided by her team to maximize her performance and limit her exposure. Effectively to stage manage her, which has been a strong theme of her campaign. [/quote]

She is a pampered childless California liberal- what else do you expect?[/quote]

I mean yes.  I’m a mom and lawyer and it is jarring to me that she never married until she was 50 and also never had kids but thinks she can relate to what most families go through.  She is not qualified to talk to me about childcare or managing a household with groceries or the impact of anything on our schools or the issues of balancing work and family or the struggling of saving for college.  And her choice of husband is questionable.  We all know why.  So I literally cannot relate to her as a women.  She has as much insight into my life as a 15 year old or my 85 year old mother in law who went from her parents home to her husbands and never had a job.  I wouldn’t elect a 15 year old or my MIL. And in the areas where she should be shining, like her amazing prosecutorial skills of verbal persuasion, she is a spectacular failure!  She is such a mess.[/quote]

What a childish way to decide on a candidate.  Do you think a rich man who left his ex wife to raise the children (oldest was 12) has any insight into your middle class struggle?  I doubt any candidate has lived mine.  I want a president who is not a crazy fascist.  I have never in my life had a president who checks all my boxes. I chose the one who didn’t try to overthrow our democracy.  Already voted. It was not a difficult decision.[/quote]

Your rationale of “pick the lesser of two evils” is why we’re stuck in a two party system, where Dem and Republican candidates say every election is life or death and you can’t go third party. When GWB was on the ballot and people voted for Nader it was “life or death.” Well look where we’re at now. We have the choice between a blowhard doofus and a someone without principles who will say anything to get elected, with no foreign policy experience or the ability to speak extemporaneously.

I swear every single business owner on Shark Tank would be better than both these clowns, let alone dozens of other politicians and business leaders I can think of, but we have to choose between two crappy options because both parties are colluding to drive out any competition. I’m not playing along. Sorry.[/quote]
