Dunite posted:Is there any chance people have been holding onto hit pieces for Kamala until she got the nomination? I think most of the torpedoes were launched already during the primary to sink her top ticket bid. "Copmala" has been around for a while now and can probably be easily solved with her going "Look, I was younger then and doing what I thought was best for California at the time, but I promise to do better for America as vice president yadda yadda." and that'll probably fly the the non-brainposioned folks outside of the D&D snowglobe.

Solaris 2.0 posted:I was hoping it would be Rice and not KamaCop but I'm also not surprised. Oh well no one will care in 24 hours when Trump burps up a racial slur at a reporter again and announces his entire staff will take the Russian Vaccine. I mean no matter who he picked, people would get upset. I’m not sure what people were expecting.

That is fairly weak. Seems like the Trump campaign didn't really have anything, and was hoping it was Rice so they could wheel out Benghazi.

Cervix-A-Lot posted:Quick you loving nerds, tell me why this is bad Kamala is a bad pick because she is a former AG (a.k.a. top cop) for California and has a record of being overly tough on crime. Not a good move in this, of all years. Her record as California DA and AG is very mixed, with some good stuff (lowered recidivism rates while DA) on top of bad things (which I don't know a lot about admittedly). As a senator she also voted against Bernie Sanders' amendment to reduce our stupidly huge military budget. On the other hand she is -Black -A Woman -Has cosponsored progressive bills on expanded UI including Senator Markey's ambitious $2,000 a month until the pandemic ends retroactive to March proposal, and I recall there being some bills she and Ro Khanna also proposed together earlier in the year. -sued several oil companies while AG for inadequate environmental standards -took down the creep that ran Backpage -While part of Senate Judiciary Committee, reduced AG Barr to a stuttering mess. nine-gear crow posted:She took a loving chainsaw to In reality the first two are the big reasons for her selection by Biden. I still think it's not the best choice as her tough-on-crime stance was what literally killed her Presidential ambitions, but eh.

Cervix-A-Lot posted:Quick you loving nerds, tell me why this is bad For starters, she called herself America’s top cop when the nearly every state has had some kind of protest over police brutality within the past 3 months, she actively fought to deny trans-related health care to at least one trans prisoner. Her student loan debt relief idea was filled with so many conditionals it was worthless. Oh yeah she also declined to go after mnuchin post 2008 meltdown

Meatball posted:Queue another 5-4 court decision that not only gives Republicans the White House again but creates a federal ruling that ensures that all ballots, mailed or otherwise need to be in on election day to be counted. Most states already require that ballots must be received by election day, not post-marked by election day to be counted. Even without Trump meddling, and a fully functional post office, a huge chunk of votes were going to be tossed because people are morons who don't follow instructions.
