Good luck with the WWC in Michigan and Ohio.

At least you admit it's racism/sexism

[Comrade Funk]

If the Democrats want to double down on the virtue signaling cultural wars while doing nothing to help ordinary people, this is their candidate.

Muh identity politics.

I expect the Bernie clan to attempt to torpedo every candidate with Glenn Greenwald style BS, save for Queen Tulsi ofc.

About time they do. It's always funny to me how the same people who pretend the only reason those infamous WWC voters went for Trump in 2016 was because of economic anxiety and it had nothing to do with race and gender will always talk about how Gillibrand, Booker or Harris have absolutely no chance to win any of these voters back.

It's not racism and sexism. It's feminism and identity politics.

Stealing from the Lee Atwater book of BS I see.

Reaganfan: *gives simple and accurate response*

You: BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!

Using muh identity politics and muh feminism to justify why a "black female gun grabbing lawyer from California" can't win muh WWC is political correctness at its absolute. I know how you guys love to bash on PC culture too.

Dear god this campaign logo is horrid.

Another random fact: If she's elected, we would have one President of the United States born on the exact same date than another one died: Kamala Harris was born on October 20, 1964. On this day, Herbert Hoover, another president from California, passed away.

Hopefully not Hoover reborn

She could be. We will have to see. My hope is that Harris gets defeated in the Democratic primary. As I've outlined above, she is not deserving of the highest office in the land.

Congrats. You and Bill O'Reilly can talk about it together.

What vile connotation are you seeking to draw by comparing me with Bill O'Reilly? Democratic posters on here seem to be adept at thinking the worst about people.

He already said he wasn't supporting Harris either, not to anyone's surprise ofc. What I'm really saying is no cares what you think about her.

I'm eager to hear the crowd estimate-

I don't see Cornell West there. Very white crowd!

Latinos and Asians count as white?

I'm joking.

[Comrade Funk]

jfern trying to dismiss 20,000 supporters by calling them too white LOL

[Comrade Funk]

First Kamala's 20,000+ crowd didn't count because it was too white and now it doesn't count because it's in Oakland. Yet the same people went nuts when Ojeda announced in front of 10 people in a cafeteria.

[Comrade Funk]

Idk how she can be “killing it” when she said her #1 goal was tax cuts and not M4A/GND. Tax cuts for the middle class arent bad but we have higher priorities. Overall, its a meh from me, very vague generic “im for good things and against bad things” town hall.

She did not say that was her #1 goal, she said that would be the first thing she would do. It seems to me you want to be lied to and told things that make you feel good.

The LIFT Act is leftwing and still not good enough.

[Comrade Funk]

People said the exact same things but louder about Obama in 2007-2008, and there was plenty of negative backlash that he wasn't black enough, didn't have real connections in the community, was an elitist, etc. You may be forgetting that Hillary Clinton had an enormous lead with black voters in the polls up until after the Iowa caucuses. It was different once he was actually on the ballots they were being asked to cast.

Also, frankly, young black voters, especially young black men, just don't vote, not even for Obama. She just needs to get Obama levels of black turnout, which doesn't mean reaching every alt-socialist bipster who would find something to complain about for every candidate and never voted for Obama anyway.

 Obama's campaign was buoyed by enthusiasm from young Black volunteers and voters. It was older established Black figures and voters who supported Clinton early on, with many of their younger family members making the case to them to support Obama.

 While the electorate will be less white and more everything else in 2020, that math only works if young people turnout. It only works if Harris continues to turn college educated Whites and White Women to vote Democrat. Obama didn't just juice black turnout, he averaged mid 90's level support. Democrats have lost elections falling just into the high 80's and depressed turnout with the black vote so your statement is wrong. Harris can't get Gore, Kerry, or Clinton performance with Black voters. She needs to do Obama numbers in turnout and support and what I'm telling you is that the people, not hipsters, or Bernie people, or Russian Facebook accounts are saying she seems like somebody else's candidate not theirs. She needs to work on that and it isn't concern trolling. Just like it wasn't when people were telling Hillary she was toxic in the Midwest or when people told me Gillum was up 2 to 6% and that a blue wave was going to carry him to victory.

The real truth is that you know nothing, like everyone else here.

[Comrade Funk]

The “Kamala is doing badly with young black men” take is really just based off of Twitter comments and other social media reactions. Until the Iowa caucus or some serious polling on the issue comes out; its all just baseless

 I'm not basing any of my opinions on social media, I don't have any social media accounts. I am basing it on talking to people.

Ah so you're using worthless anecdotal evidence.

[Comrade Funk]

Ah so you're using worthless anecdotal evidence.

  If my experiences to you are worthless, than so be it, that's your opinion. I would encourage you to go out and talk to people because I'd like to know what people are feeling and thinking about the Democratic candidates who have announced so far.

Most people on the street don't know who she is or have barely heard of her.

[Comrade Funk]

Her dad is from Jamaica. Isn't that enough, you bigot?

lol, exactly.

You've given no serious argument. You've used anecdotal evidence and made assumptions of what people think.
