From Kamala Harris's press secretary: https://twitter.com/IanSams/status/1089648190721122304

they only showed up to see the Decemberists #Vintage2008References

She was born on the same day that Herbert Hoover died.

She seems so proud about it.

Maybe if the GOP didn't just unilaterally nay everything coming from Dems, she wouldn't have to break ties so much. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ LOL. Do not blame Republicans for this. Blame, wait for it,... a Democrat. Your party has a 51-49 majority in the Senate.

I don't understand why this would be either a negative or a positive.

I don't understand why this would be either a negative or a positive. Personally, I agree with you. When Pence did it like nine times the media compared him to previous VPs who had fewer than him. They applauded Biden by not having to do it even once. They made it look it was something bad. Holding the left with its own standards!

Maybe if the GOP didn't just unilaterally nay everything coming from Dems, she wouldn't have to break ties so much. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I am sure you are upset today that your favorite country, Ukraine, got no funding while the country, Israel, you strongly oppose also got no funding. You can blame that on Republicans as they vote was 51-49 and fell short by 9 votes.

No funding for Israel and Ukraine!!!

I agree with your opinion that there should be more bipartisan support for this current administration.

I'm officially going on record now to say Kamala Devi Harris will be the Democrat Nominee for President in 2024. Suspect this will happen in the next 7 days in some way. And she may even become our President. If it wasn't clear before now that this election year was going to be unprecedented, it will be after this happens. Enjoy the ride, because the rollercoaster that began with Trump's conviction and Biden's worst ever debate ...hasn't reached peak speed, hit the first inverted loop, or taken a Stengel dive.

Funny short video from last month. Also I heard yesterday that no one really knows what Kamala's last name is. She's like Cher and Madonna!

Happy birthday to the next president of the United States!

Would venture to say her political career is over. Both Senate seats in California will be occupied by incumbents for a while, and Eleni Kounalakis has a head start on the 2026 Gubernatorial election.

Worst Democratic presidential candidate since Mike Dukakis. Kerry kept it closer in the electoral count & Hillary at least won the popular vote.

Also, maybe the D establishment shouldn't have switched Biden out with her like they did considering she flopped hard in the 2020 primaries and had no real appeal to any voters. That obviously translated over into the general election 4 years later. Hindsight is, of course, 20/20 though.

Personally I think it has more to do with Trump's strength as a candidate than any particular weakness by Harris. I wouldn't say Harris was a great general election candidate by any means, but given the situation she was thrown in with 3 months to go it was always an uphill battle once her perception as "generic Democrat" faded. A lot of people, Republicans included, have been telling themselves Trump is a weak candidate just because he has a habit of getting caught up in media frenzies. But regular people don't care about that. The fact people gravitate towards him because of his policies, charisma, political incorrectness or what have you, is a unique strength that no prominent Democrat has.

Trump isn't some unbeatable juggernaut, Biden proved that 4 years ago. Harris lacked charisma and frankly seemed like a bit of an intellectual lightweight and unpresidential with her word salads and constantly repeating the same talking points her staffers told her to repeat. She also tried to pull an Obama and naively billed herself as the "change candidate" when nobody but the most partisan of partisan Dems would have bought that. She also didn't distance herself from Biden at all so that shtick fell even more flat with voters. Had she not been so robotic and had her campaign not been so tone-deaf she would have done better. But maybe regular people didn't care about all that, I don't know.

My mantra is, The winner of the presidential general election is the candidate who would win a race for Prom King. Except for 2020, that simple rule predicts the outcome of every presidential election for the last 50 years at least. The mantra is inherently sexist, of course, and we will never know the degree to which misogyny was a factor in this election, but I expect Democrats will be hesitant to nominate another woman for the foreseeable future.

Harris lacked charisma and frankly seemed like a bit of an intellectual lightweight and unpresidential with her word salads and constantly repeating the same talking points her staffers told her to repeat. This illustrates the very different bars each candidate needed to cross. Trump was incompetent as president (according to many from his cabinet / national security team) and his stump speeches make no sense at all. Harris repeated same stump speech each time, which is the normal thing candidates do to reinforce a simple message for voters.

Harris repeated same stump speech each time, which is the normal thing candidates do to reinforce a simple message for voters. The problem with that is that her simple message was tone-deaf and not in line with how voters were thinking. We can clearly see that in the results. And while a lot of Trump's speeches were rambly and hard to listen to, he was clearly speaking from the heart and not reading off a piece of paper his staffers gave him, which resonates with voters at least somewhat.

Trump was not strong as a candidate. Any insinuation he is is fucking brain dead. He is only treated as a serious force because the Media Needs a Narrative. American's are sick of the status quo, and when the Dems prevented themselves from being that by fucking over Bernie twice, they allowed Trump Back in.

I disagree, Trump ran a brilliant campaign, countering every Harris move with Machiavellian intelligence that forced Harris into mistake after mistake, focusing his narrative on issues that matter the very most to blue collar America.
