      Imagine if they did the same thing and promoted Vance to their nominee. The incumbent VP and respected district attorney vs a right-wing project 2025 nutjob who was only chosen because he was younger than 80.

      This is what I’m most excited to see. Biden is a perfectly fine Democrat president but not a particularly great public speaker in terms of politicians. And the age certainly didn’t help. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump decides he doesn’t want to debate like he did back in 2020.

    here goes four more years down the shitter

    just because Trump is a felon does not mean we need a prosecutor

    has anyone here had to deal with a prosecutor firsthand before?

    people that take away rights and imprisons them in deplorable inhumane conditions should not be a leader

      lol what the fresh hell is this take. This has to be the first attempt at this weird rhetoric. Does that mean we need the felon?

      has anyone here had to deal with a prosecutor firsthand before?

      Actually yeah, I got a ticket for running a red light in a weird non-permanent construction detour thing. I hadn’t expected the light to be there since it was on a highway and was part of an unusual u-turn. The cop was sympathetic and told me to go to the court to fight it, and there the prosecutor dropped the charge. I have seen that same court successfully prosecute traffic tickets even without officer testimony, so I was quite pleased.

      Honestly even with how corrupt the justice system can be, I’m not sure you’re gonna find many people who have personally had bad experiences with a prosecutor, much less rational people who would choose someone convicted of 34 felonies over a prosecutor.

        I heard this in some particularly leftist areas of the internet back in 2020 when Biden tapped her for VP. It’s not good, that’s for sure.

        Some people even dug deep into her case record and found some really old cases they didn’t like. It’s just an attempt to keep the flames going against the DNC.

        Harris is probably going to be the best candidate the DNC has nominated since 2008. I am personally thrilled.

    Platform Main article: Political positions of Kamala Harris Domestic issues Abortion Harris supports national protections for abortion, which were reversed after Roe v. Wade (1973) was overturned by Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (2022). Under the Biden administration, she prominently campaigned for abortion rights.[20]

    Climate change Harris is an advocate for environmental justice to address the impact of climate change on lower-income areas and people of color. Under Biden, she supported his climate legislation.[20]

    Immigration As vice president, Harris invested US$950 million into Central American companies to address the causes of mass migration, such as poverty. She supported a proposed bill which would close the border if too crowded and fund border patrol agents. She believes the immigration system is “broken” and needs to be fixed, and she says most Americans believe this.[20]

    Foreign policy NATO and Ukraine Harris is expected and has signaled to generally follow Biden’s foreign policy on NATO and Ukraine, supporting both in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[20][21]

    Israel–Hamas war Harris is noted to have tougher positions on Israel than Biden. She supported Israel’s offensive against Hamas in the aftermath of its attack on Israel, but criticized it throughout the war because of the Gaza humanitarian crisis. She also has been noted to be more allied to progressive Democrats who oppose Israel.[20][21][22] Under the Biden administration, she called for a ceasefire and pushed for more humanitarian aid.[23] Reports have said she is more sympathetic to Palestinians than Biden, though it is disputed whether she would immediately change policy.[24][25]

    China Like Biden’s administration officials, Harris has advocated for “de-risking” from Beijing, a policy that encourages reducing the economic dependence on China.[26] She also raises the issues of Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Tibet, Taiwan, etc., just like any other Democrat government, with the intention of curbing China’s rising power both economically and militarily.[27] Chinese social media does not look favorably on her candidacy,[28] and is more familiar with other candidates, such as Antony Blinken.[29] Chinese public opinion believes that she will lose to Trump.[29]

      That’s a persuasive list and I like it. I like it more than Biden’s history at least where Israel & Palestine are concerned.

      Dunno what issue you have with it, but if you’re going to reply directly TWICE to the main thread… Then it clearly bothers you.

        it does bother me

        feel Trump is bad enough not to need comments he does it himself but the democrats act like sitting back and giving lip service is enough

        get progress takes time but it has been time a long time ago

        and that list is it and she has not even posted anything her website
