Look, the liberal media is going to manufacture Kamala Harris as some great pick, but the readings from the Democratic base is quite different. This is a woman who was known for being tough on crime, especially when it comes to marijuana. That’s fine for normal voters, but remember Democrats are going through a defund the police/pro-rioting phase. This won’t play well to the most vocal and active parts of the Democratic base, who happen to be far-left in their politics. Some are also rehashing the fact that Harris was not some superstar campaigner, but actually a major train wreck. She bolted before her state’s own primary. While he’s known for getting his fellow left-wing colleagues blood pressures to rise with his independent commentary, liberal reporter Michael Tracey had multiple Twitter posts noting how bad of a pick this was for the Biden team. He did not hold back calling Harris “a nightmarishly bad pick.”
As mentioned, due to the Left’s anti-law and order stance, Harris is somewhat returned to her place in the primaries—at the crossroads. Where does she go? As Tracey noted, she has no constituency given her record here.
“Kamala's past as a hardline prosecutor doesn't endear her to left-wing voters, and her more recent embrace of an Extremely Online activist rhetorical style doesn't endear her to "Law and Order" voters. So, she's in a weird political ‘no man's land.’”
Yet, also be aware that everyone has their biases. That’s not a bad thing, but Tracey is a voice for the more progressive, anti-establishment wing of the party. He made that clear saying, “After all was said and done the Democratic Party donor and professional class got pretty much exactly what it wanted.”
So, the Democratic Party, the party of change, diversity, and one that has an authoritarian ethos to facilitate those former points has decided to pick…an old white guy and a cop to be their 2020 ticket. This is literally the “back in chains” ticket of this cycle.
[Michael Tracy's twitter posts:]
It tells you everything you need to know about the current Democratic Party intelligentsia that in order to get put on the ticket headed by an old white guy, the smart play is go before a national TV audience and call him a racist 1:33 PM · Aug 11, 2020
Kamala's presidential campaign was a total humiliating disaster. One of the worst of all time, considering the amount of unearned hype she received. Did everybody miss that, or what? 1:30 PM · Aug 11, 2020
Terrible pick from a strategic perspective, a governing perspective -- every perspective, really. There's a good chance Kamala repels more voters than she attracts. This was about party brokers / interest groups imposing their will on Biden, and him capitulating 1:45 PM · Aug 11, 2020
This is probably the best day of the campaign so far for Trump 1:49 PM · Aug 11, 2020
Tulsi's debate stage confrontation with Kamala was so effective because it was 100% substantive and informed by Tulsi's sincere beliefs on criminal justice policy. Kamala responded by smearing her with unrelated nonsense (Assad) -- she couldn't defend her record on the merits 5:14 PM · Aug 11, 2020
"That little girl was me" -- what a fucking joke, lol 8:00 PM · Aug 11, 2020
Whenever I hear her name, I think of “Kamala” Harris, the Ugandan Giant.
Just hope her so-called “moderate” stance on issues doesn’t fool women in this country. History has not been kind in that regard, here in the US and abroad.
Undoubtedly the worst VP pick in the history of presidential elections.
Why waste good talent in a losing effort, hold the best for 2024.
Joe/Blow in 2020!
Badly needs proofreading. I had to fight my way through the first sentence and it didn’t get much better as it went on.
Should have known from the first word. Who starts a written commentary with “look?”
I just feel sort of sorry for Indian -Americans. This was their chance to celebrate the first Indian-American nominated for the Vice presidency. Guess they’ll have to wait for the next one.
The dirty little secret is the DNC is totally controlled by big money—and the biggest money is CA high tech.
They wanted the Senator they owned as VP nominee, and they got it.
Me too. Big dude. Wore face and body paint.
I just checked, he passed away this past Sunday. RIP Kamala.
LOL! WATCH OUT JoeJoe!!!
LADY MACBETH
Out, damned spot! Out, I say!—One, two. Why, then, ’tis time to do ’t. Hell is murky!—Fie, my lord, fie! A soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account?—Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him.

Thanks, Shakespeare.
Your on the rapid road to “non essential” JoeJoe. Don’t make the puppet masters look foolish, PUPPET.
Camel’s quicker. Don’t try it, sniffer. Don’t try to flatten the curves. Your not that privileged, cracker. Willie was.

Hang in there dog-faced pony soldier. We’ll try to get you away from that hot mess in November, so than you can enjoy what’s left of your miserable, arrogant, deceitful, dysfunctional-father-figure life.
Besides, term limit for elected office is 50 years.
YO TIME IS UP.
I wish you were right but from what I see it’s going be a tough fight.
“This is literally the “back in chains” ticket of this cycle.”
Good cop/bad cop don’t play in the ‘hood. Here’s a song for you PRETENDERS...

...Undoubtedly the worst VP pick in the history of presidential elections.
Nobody remembers Thomas Francis Eagleton
I just waded into the DUmp and it’s a total love fest over there. While I was reading the post titles, all I heard was hysterical laughing. Then I realized it was me.
Sub-burpian house wives who hate trump, heads swimming in raw emotion, will fall all over her in the rush to get her elected
Joe/Blow in 2020!
Blacks, we’re coming for ya again
Us geeezers still remember Eagleton...

I’ve heard it both ways, which is correct?
