I mean you're right in that it won't matter because the media will never ask her but 'the standards' are pretty simple, all it takes is one journalist to go 'you said you believed his accusers, why are you his VP then?'

Macrame_God posted:So I'm guessing we can forget about any meaningful law enforcement reform, right (marijuana legalization too)? I'm still wondering why people think that Kamala's going to become Dick Cheney and not Dan Quayle. She was an obvious pick to try to pander to key voting blocs, not some close personal friend and advisor of Joe Biden.

Silly Burrito posted:Yep, there it is. God this sucks. Trump's campaign team seems too incompetent and/or self-interested in their own respective grifts to really take advantage of this but man it could end up a loving bloodbath. There are very few problems in the US today that Kamala Harris isn't negatively associated with. Too bad Biden's campaign is too scared of Birtherism 2.0 to go with Duckworth, but pound for pound this probably maximizes his chances of a runaway victory - assuming any of us can vote by November.

Jewel Repetition posted:No, idiot. It's funny that she's running on a ticket with someone she's gone on record saying is a sexual assaulter. Unwanted touching is not sexual assault. It's actually one of the reasons why I, as a woman, would like to see some of the older and more clear terminology employed. Biden himself admitted that his standards for personal space and touching needed to change, but that is not the same as saying her saying that he is guilty of or admitted guilt for rape.

Judakel posted:He doesn't have to attack from the left. His campaign does. He has to speak to his base. His campaign has to depress turnout in key demos like latinos and young black voters. This pick makes that very likely. He doesn't even need his campaign to do it, Greenwald will do it for him and they need merely retweet. I don't think anyone in the Trump campaign is literate to leftist thought.

Also I like including Biden there, how magnanimous of him to not hold a grudge against the uppity lady who pointed out his history and direct harm he caused to countless people like her

So genuine question, how bad can Kharris be if she votes with Bernie 93% of the time? https://projects.propublica.org/represent/members/H001075-kamala-harris/compare-votes/S000033-bernard-sanders/115 Or is that a misleading statistic?

Xombie posted:Spoiler alert: the record they are talking about are not the things you think are bad. They absolutely are, and you can tell that is the implication from the context. They claim she embraced anti-police ideas so as to obfuscate her record as a prosecutor. I have no idea how you're this obnoxious when you clearly can't even read.

This pick really changes nothing about anything. It won't change policy or affect the race. Trump is too stupid to exploit any theoretical downsides and his "campaign" is just moron rear end kissers now.

That CNN focus group where a bunch of black voters stated that they did not like her was a dagger. Clearly Biden is convinced that he has the Black vote on lock.

Harris was always the establishment's choice, her politics and policies proved about as endearing to the Democratic base as Joe Biden's had in his previous attempts at the nomination (or for 90% of this primary season), but she's a very safe choice unlikely to upset the election trajectory Biden is currently on. Tactically Rice would have been so much worse of a choice.
