[SamAndreas]

Today it begins, Kamala has reached the point that she's the Democratic Party nominee:

There's video from today. this link has video from her first public appearance since Biden endorsed her:

She spent yesterday on the telephone for most of the day. I read that yesterday that she called the party leaders in all 50 states. That would take me three days.

She's renamed her YouTube channel, that's the where to go for video: https://www.youtube.com/@kamalaharris

This is her video on her channel from two hours ago:



To play it, start it, and then move it up to 5:47. This was one of those live videos which don't start at zero.

I've named this thread General Election 2024 Harris vs Trump

Trump needs an introduction post as well, a MAGA suporter ought to write it: @Farb, @SaintForLife , @Others, calling for someone to please introduce your GOP candidate for this 2024 general election thread.

Could immigration be any worse under a Harris administration than it is now? It seems possible based the positions she supported in the past.

Did you read the letter? I doubt it. Otherwise, you would have seen this:

And this:

Sounds like she wants ICE to be efficient with their resources and learn to prioritize. That seems like fiscal responsibility and good governing to me.

That sounds like the defund the police movement. That was obviously a disaster. I hope she continues to call for less border patrol agents & ice beds. That will go over great.

I’m just enjoying the desperation that is evident. It warms my heart.

They are all spinning half truths and outright lies, panicking that they can’t find anything legitimate.

Reduced to making fun of her laugh, and calling her unqualified, throwing racist “lazy and stupid” in there as well (Kellyanne Conway). Calling her a miserable cat lady. (Vance).

Hey, SFL care to comment on the debunking that that has come to light on your claims from a day or two ago? No? Just look for something else that can be taken out of context and used to smear her with, right?

It might be time to pump the breaks a little on trying to turn Harris into Obama. When you are running a corpse as your nominee there will definitely be some excitement and enthusiasm when they are replaced. But it's very obvious how the media is vastly exaggerating that excitement and enthusiasm because they want Trump to lose.

The same people who told us Biden was fine are the same people that are now saying Harris is a great candidate.

This just makes me happy.

Harris has a presence on TikTok now. I haven’t been on it before now, but I think most people under 35 are. Even my daughter, who is 40, watches TikTok every night after the kids are in bed instead of TV.

Carville was on one of the talk shows saying that Harris needs to buy more TV ads, and I did see that the campaign announced a $50M ad buy. But this stuff is definitely cheaper to do, and the reach could be even better.

I saw this posted on Twitter today.

What was her role exactly? Did she decide to leave all the equipment for the Taliban? It's weird that the article said she had a key role, but they never listed what it was.

Harris says she had key role in Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal decision

Speaking of the Netflix boycott by MAGA - here is a typical MAGA response. Blaming Harris for something that MAGAs are doing, and making stuff up about it as well. When the person you idolize makes lying his everyday default - then lying is what is expected of everyone who supports him.

She didn't call for fewer ICE agents. She called for better training and incentives for the agents that are already employed so they don't quit. You would know that if you read the thing I specifically highlighted for you.

This is what happens when you only read the title of the article. Nowhere in that article does Harris claim a "key role" in that decision, only that like other tough meetings, she is right there until the end.

The article itself is only a handful of paragraphs, and speaks to the working relationship between the two; she's present and engaged. You may find more in the actual interview to back up your claim, but this one's a miss.

BTW, I was in and out of the White Women for Harris zoom last night. They raised about $8M, I think as of today (since the donation link is still active). I can tell you that women are highly motivated to get rid of Trump and Vance. There were about 150,000 women on the call and YouTube. This was a copy of the Black Women’s call that happened Sunday evening. Several people you would know spoke. They are combining efforts with women of all races going forward:

Numbers. What a man po to do? Move the decimal which way?

Regarding the ICE non-issue... Seriously, being thrifty with tax dollars SHOULD be a thing. I don't want politicians rubber-stamping items for a sound bite. We need the best bang for the buck. Or do we just "throw money" at a problem? Common sense, people.

It’s willful misrepresentation, common sense has no purpose for them in this quest.

Revisionist history is the legacy of the far right of this country.

It appears to be all they have.

Also, if anyone is wondering why Trump is running scared from debating Harris, just look at this clip. This happens every rally speech these days. This one is from earlier this year. I’m still a bit pissed that the media ignores this, yet was hyper focused on every Biden stutter.

This is what happens when you only read the title of the article. Nowhere in that article does Harris claim a "key role" in that decision, only that like other tough meetings, she is right there until the end.

The title of the article literally says that "Harris says she had a key role in Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal."

This is what happens when you have trouble reading my post. I said that the article didn't say what the her key role was despite the title saying Harris said she did.

You your accusation that I only read the headline is malarkey.

The article itself is only a handful of paragraphs, and speaks to the working relationship between the two; she's present and engaged. You may find more in the actual interview to back up your claim, but this one's a miss.

What probably happened was something similar to the border czar situation. The media probably exaggerated her role to puff her up as they do as an arm for the Democrat party eventhough what they claimed wasn't entirely accurate.

Are you unable to read headlines?

As opposed to running a dribbling, rapidly declining old man who thinks Hannibal Lector is a real person?

The excitement is real for Harris just like the negative view of JD Vance.

Btw, the border crossings have dropped. And you shouldn’t open your mouth at all because your false god who holds no office demanded the gutless Republicans torpedo a bill that REPUBLICANS wanted.
