Thread: President Harris

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel as they did four years ago.
Too bad RFK, Jr denounced his Democratic candidacy some months ago.

What of the DNC Convention in a month......and the convoluted process?
What if the delegates aren't agreeable with that VP [dumb as a bag of rocks] koont?

Do you support RFK Jr, Jeff?

No. Not really. Don't support any of 'em.
just thought his hat in the ring might shed a little stimulating alternative to the same old show.


But we all know, anything alternative or different or anything that grates against the oligarch is never allowed to come about.
If you're not a club member don't bother.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr isn't supporting Harris.



I commend President Biden for stepping down. His infirmities were evident to any unbiased observer from the beginning. It was this progressive deterioration — and his abandonment of Democratic Party principles — that prompted me to enter the race and ensure American voters had a viable, vigorous alternative to Donald Trump.

Yet the response of the DNC was to try and hide President Biden’s degeneration from the American public and disable democracy to ram him through to his party’s nomination.

Many Americans fear that the same DNC elites are about to rig the nominating process again to get a monumentally unpopular vice president to step into President Biden’s shoes.

I call on the Democratic Party to return to its traditional commitment to democracy and exemplify it with an open process. Instead of anointing a candidate hand-picked by DNC elites, the party should use neutral polling to identify the candidate who can best beat Donald Trump. The delegates should then select a nominee based on this information.

If they had done this to begin with, I would not have had to leave the Democratic Party.

Quite honestly, the whole presidental process is far from democratic.
Reeks of oligarch management and manipulation.
And most [if not all] fall for it.


Plenty of kool-aid available.

Kamala Harris starts in driver's seat as Biden's 2024 replacement — but it is no guarantee


Now that President Joe Biden has announced he wonÂ’t run for re-election, he has endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris, to be his successor as the Democratic presidential nominee.

But itÂ’s not up to him, though BidenÂ’s endorsement is the latest in several very powerful factors leaning HarrisÂ’ way.

While Biden won virtually all of the delegates to next monthÂ’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago and was the partyÂ’s presumptive nominee, he relinquishes that title by stepping aside and has no direct power over choosing whom those delegates will officially nominate.

That’s because the convention delegates, the people who actually pick the Democratic Party’s nominee, are not bound by any law or party rules to back the candidate they’re pledged to support. They only have to “in all good conscience reflect the sentiments of those who elected them.”

Biden can and likely will still hold enormous sway over the delegates who were preparing to nominate him. But those delegates are free to make up their own minds, both in terms of whether to back Harris and who they want to be the partyÂ’s vice presidential nominee, too.

So far, a number of prominent delegates and state party chairs and organizations are jumping out to get behind Harris. Ken Martin, the Minnesota Democratic Party chairman, told NBC News that heÂ’s spoken to a handful of other state party chairs who have all agreed to get behind Harris.

“Everyone I’ve talked to right now agrees that we have to unify quickly,” Martin said. “The idea of having four weeks of turning the conversation inward is not something I’m particularly excited about. The quicker we can unify our party behind a ticket, the sooner we can get this campaign moving.”

New Hampshire Democratic Party chair Ray Buckley said Saturday night that the party executive committee endorsed the vice president. When asked what he hopes are the next steps for the party, Buckley wrote in a text message: "Ultimately, it is up to the delegates."

In Tennessee, Democratic delegate Bill Owen told The New York Times that the state's delegates all endorsed Harris on a conference call, as similar conversations get started around the country.

Meanwhile, at the moment, itÂ’s even unclear exactly when Democrats will meet to select their nominee.

They had been planning to formally nominate Biden during a virtual roll call vote in the first week of August in order to avoid a potential legal issue around a ballot access deadline in Ohio. But the party may now have to change course if Democratic delegates are not prepared to ratify her nomination so quickly.

That process will be governed by the Democratic National Convention rules committee, which has almost 200 members and is chaired by Leah Daughtry, a longtime DNC insider and rules expert, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

In a statement, Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison didnÂ’t directly address what happens next, but said an answer would come soon.

“In short order, the American people will hear from the Democratic Party on next steps and the path forward for the nomination process,” he said.

That’s the brain worms talking.

RFK Sr. Is doing backflips, in his grave, right about now.

What does this 'you not falling for it' consist of, anyway?

Seriously - enlighten us.

Prepare to wait awhile for the response, if you even get one at all.

Don’t hold your breath, Jeff the faker can’t elucidate. It’s all part of his mystique.

Another comedy thread from spamdreth.

This one could be hilarious.

The only way Harris will get into the White House is with a mop as Trump’s cleaner.

He does have the pedigree afterall, Clooney is of Irish, German, and English ancestry. His maternal fourth great-grandmother, Mary Ann Sparrow, was the half-sister of Nancy Lincoln, mother of President Abraham Lincoln, making Clooney and President Lincoln half-first cousins five times removed.

If Ronald Regan could do it, even Arnie the Terminator Governor of California.

It's the American way.

Kamala Harris, I doubt it.

Why? Because she is a smart, educated woman, and not a stupid actor?

That's a laugh! If Trump gets in, it isn't because he'd make a better president, far from it.
Most people don't know Kamala as well, she isn't over the top and a criminal. If it is between her and Trump, she should win hands down. Doesn't mean she will though, but that doesn't say anything about her.

Difficult to respond to 'Joe's' post, really, as most of it is copied and pasted.

Maybe Google it and take issue with the person who actually wrote it?

Especially after we've been denigrating two old, straight white men for months now. Their arch enemy no less.

I hate to pop your pink bubble MM, but people are allowed to criticize women politicians of color too.
