The reality is she will change nothing. The horror neoliberal show will continue thats why the donors are on board. She is their safe bet
ROFLMAO! you go on believing that. I don’t see any neoliberal horror show. I see a lot of good things President Biden and President Obama has done and I campaigned for them, even shook their hands. I’m proud of that and I’ll be proud to do it again. I’m sorry if good things are a horror show to you.
Going on believing with good reason . Not colour or sex.
You don’t have to be female and non-white to get female non-white votes. You don’t have to be young to get the youth votes.
It’s the opposite that has been true and we live in the times when that is changing, when what was once normal is being revealed as wrong and bad for planet. Presidents have been white male landowners, voted in by white male landowners who wouldn’t even allow others to vote.
No we dont. We live in times of failure. Biden selected her as his vice because she was a woman of color not because she is a person fit for the job.
systematic failure where individual donors have a right to destroy democracy and choose who (and who not) to spend money on.
The very, very, very simple act of mandating free party political broadcasts, as in the UK, could potentially wipe out the whole thing at a stroke. In fact the three simple steps that could entirely save US democracy might be:
-
Unpaid party political broadcasts at election times
-
AIPAC registers under FARA
-
Ruling that corporations are not people.
Done. Except… not one of the above has ever come remotely close to being achieved or, if you think about it, can be achieved by elected officials (somewhat ironically a dictator would have a better shot … so to speak).
Plutocrats have checks and balances too: The cheques you know about, and the balances are the carefully balanced and continuously rebalanced two cheeks.
I didn’t say things were great. I said women’s rights and equality are good.
It’s humorous how you say smart things with such anger. You couldn’t defend white male landowners so you brought up something I’ve never mentioned, not specifically. I have talked about election reform generally. If you tried to get to know me at all, you would know I agree with those points.
But no. You put on a performance. You try to look special. But you can’t see how you’re advocating ideas that are part the slow incremental changes to the patriarchal systems based in medieval times. You picked some good ideas, but they aren’t radical. Instead of finding agreement with people near you, you seek division. Can’t get much more Dark Age than that.

Oh good grief! There is so much to unpack there, but I’ll start with… “What? Because she’s a woman she can’t do the job of V.P.? Or because she’s a woman of colour she’s not smart enough to do the job?” All of which is B.S. just as the rest of your post is.
Then you better vote for Harris.
She is part of the most productive presidential team in history.
Her participation are her credentials.
What has Biden Harris done?
Top Accomplishments
- Lowering Costs of Families’ Everyday Expenses.
- More People Are Working Than At Any Point in American History.
- Making More in America.
- Rescued the Economy and Changed the Course of the Pandemic.
- Rebuilding our Infrastructure.
- Historic Expansion of Benefits and Services for Toxic Exposed Veterans.
Kind of obvious. It’s the new racism talk, now that you can’t be overt. If you, the racist, is speaking, then race doesn’t exist, if someone supports a POC woman for anything that isn’t a traditional role from Little House on the Prairie, then they are DEI libtard identity politics woke.

Kamala who?
Harris campaign raises a record $81 million in 24 hours
- April Rubin - - Axios
Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign raised $81 million in the first 24 hours of her candidacy — a new presidential donation record — following President Biden’s departure from the race.
Why it matters: Harris’ stunning influx of funds injects new energy into the race after Democrats saw Biden’s path to victory rapidly shrink.
- The total includes money raised across the campaign, Democratic National Committee and joint fundraising committees.
By the numbers: Over 888,000 grassroots donors contributed in those 24 hours, her campaign said.
- 60% of those donors made their first contribution of the 2024 cycle.
- 43,000 people committed as new recurring donors — over half of whom will be making weekly donations. …
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/22/live-updates-harris-democrats-biden-drops-out-trump-campaign.html
… Late Monday night, NBC News projected that Harris had won endorsements from a majority of the Democratic party’s pledged convention delegates. The threshold is 1,976 delegates, and NBC estimates that Harris has the spoken or written backing of 1,992 delegates.
While not yet formally the party’s presumptive nominee, Harris’ position as frontrunner is rock solid, and no potential challengers have signaled they intend to vie for the nomination.
In the hours since President Joe Biden announced that he would end his teetering reelection campaign, Harris and the Democratic party have pulled in roughly $250 million in online donations and major donor commitments.
The Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue has processed $106 million in contributions to Democratic candidates since Biden dropped out, according to an automated tracker. …
I agree and you know how I loathe racism, but that’s not something abnormal for a person who has a biracial family. It stands to reason that Kamala, Obama, AOC, Sharice Davis, Bernie Sanders, Biden, Maxine Waters, etc would share my values. Not because of skin colour or gender, but they honestly share what I value.

Okay here’s an interesting conversation starter.
Guy, you might find it worth a listen.
‘Very confusing’ Trump team seemed ‘so unprepared’ for Harris running
CNN political analyst Maggie Haberman breaks down former President Donald Trump’s campaign reaction to Vice President Kamala Harris joining the presidential race.
You know, give it a think, now that the dust is starting to settle, it’s like hot damn, Biden is one great master statesman.
Think of the timing, MAGA convention is a shot wad, Vance is locked in and the Democratic Convention is happening in a few weeks with We The People getting energized like we haven’t been in a long time.
Oh and trump/MAGA/project2025 is finally going to be put on that Public Trial - for his many sins against the American people - that we’ve been waiting for.

Identity politics vs socialist politics
Rights and equality are sooooooooooooo good when 0.0001% of the populations owns 99% of the wealth. But keep peddling. That equality might get you there one day in a couple of 100O years working three jobs .
So so good and productive that biden was being smashed in the polls by the biggest loser on earth.
The libs cant get over that
Equalityis socialist? What system are you for? JD’s post-republic?
Oh dear, you don’t believe in woman’s equality either, 
I remember his age was the big deal. His Senatorial history probably didn’t help, but his presidency, objective sources seem to agree it been pretty successful. Okay Politico isn’t the most “Objective” whatever that is in this day and age still they did a good summary, besides they are just one of many saying much the same thing, he made a surprisingly good president.
But you’d rather focus on the fickle superficial uncritical masses who are most worried about the price of gasoline and such…
It’s fidelity to the facts, followed by rational discussion, that ought to be most important!

In the modern era of polling, starting around 2000, no one gets “smashed”. Trump struggled to get over 50% approval. Obama did well, but its hard to maintain high economic growth, and it’s not actually good for the planet, so politics does battle with sensible goveranance.
You are going with this? The media’s narrative?
Why would there be inequality under socialism?
