Kamala Harris 2020 campaign megathread

[John Dule]

Anyone else beside me watch her Rachel Meadow appearence?

lol no

Nothing to laugh about appearing on a respected journalist program. I know people on here have knives against her but just think for a moment, how many journalist with a program would open their shows by tracing a educational approach of history, with connecting the dots between the events in the past with the major events that are ongoing? People can opted to think she's an hack, what they can't deny is her intellect and her style of manner in analyzing the complexity that goes behind the stories that aren't dumbed down to a two-minute clip.

Lol.

This one word reply is proof the hate against Kamala lacks substance.

Nobody tell them, ok?

Respected? Hahahahahahahah good one.

Did anyone else notice that Harris misused the word "inferred" during her questioning of Barr?

She also got the music she listened to in college wrong! Burn the witch!

I'm only bringing it up because people were commentimg about how "impressive" her performance was, but I thought that was pretty embarrassing.

Because one tiny mistake blows it all up.

She's actually won accolades from respected organizations.

For those who didn't see the segment, this is a clip of Senator Harris discussing Attorney General William Barr's non-response when she asked if Trump had ordered the Justice Department to investigate his political enemies (presumably in retaliation for the Russian collusion probe), a terrifying prospect for those of us who still value our democracy:

Bear in mind, he never unequivacally said 'no'.  That should concern anyone regardless of your political persuasion.

She actually asked whether or not Trump had "suggested" it, and Barr was trying to negotiate just how strict a definition of "suggest" she was using. At no point did he say that Trump ordered anyone to do anything.

Well compared to Biden, it is rather true.

The trouble with that contention is that Harris' success with black Democrats is so far confined mostly to donors and party actors.

At the grassroots she's doing better among loyal white liberals, presumably including the woman responsible for the frightening rictus on that Twitter account. There's not much indication of wider appeal among black Democrats yet, let alone among the more marginal black voters - younger, poorer, and less likely to vote in primaries - who turned out for Obama in both of his generals. And there's very little reason to believe that she holds anything like Obama's potential among any other group of swing voters or marginal non-voters.

The problem is Gavin Newsom, who won a landslide election victory in the state of California, due to his success in SF, on SSM, not LA county.  People of Latino and Black origin, especially, blacks, who are unfamiliar with SSM and are looking for a trailblazer, in California, who can wipe out poverty. So, far, unlike Jerry Brown, who was recognized by Black and Latino politicians, Newsom has failed like Trump, end poverty. Someone on the left will challenge Gavin Newsom in 2022, he isn't assured reelection. He was the biggest endorser of Harris campaign.

There is no evidence Harris energizes black voters. Assuming blacks will only be motivated to vote by another black candidate is borderline racist.

What? Biden doesn't energize black voters? C'mon, he was Veep to Obama.

This. People need to stop talking about the black vote as a strength of Harris because there's no evidence it is or that the black vote has consolidated around her. I kind of wish it would since that might be our only hope of stopping Biden in SC. But it hasn't.

Harris is definitely one of the more electable democrats b/c she can win over educated suburban voters b/c she's not as left on criminal justice issues. Saying she would support reparations was not a very smart move though.

How so? Because she was a prosecutor?

She's running as a progressive on criminal justice issues.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Unfortunately, for Kamala Harris, SF elites are viewed as elitist, just like Nancy Pelosi. Obama was able to break the color barrier, due to him being a male. However, just like Condi Rice, when black females are viewed as not as progressive as they should be towards, minorities, they don't win higher office. Bullock probably will get the Veep slot, not Harris.

No kidding. Still, what is it with politicians and backhanded compliments? Seriously, i can't turn on the news without seeing them from everyone.

[Rookie Yinzer]

I'm glad to see Harris swiping at Biden over the Crime Bill. F-ck him for his gaslighting pretending that it had no impact or affect on the way states handled criminal justice.

Expect him to just ignore her and move on.
