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.

It’s an important job being the leader of the free world.

That's a great line that means nothing to people outside the U.S.

Out of curiosity... Trump, it's obvious what makes him unfit for the office so many idiots gave him, but what do you think makes Harris unfit to be president? Not what you don't like about her, but what makes her unfit for the job?

He has been asked that like 100 times in this thread and has yet to provide an answer

Equally bad, equally unqualified, equally unfit

All different ways of saying the same thing "Neither one of these people should be President"

I believe that Donald Trump is singularly bad, unfit and unqualified

After 2 weeks it's been exactly what I was worried about

You've said that you were worried about both

What would Kamala Harris had to have done for you to say "this is exactly what I was worried about"?

IMO, he cannot answer that without facing some sort of prejudice within himself. Either he doesn’t think any Democrat is fit for office, or he thinks a woman isn’t fit for office, or he thinks a woman of color isn’t fit for office. He leaves us no other choices.

We have to draw this conclusion because of the way he has dodged the question of why is Harris unfit? He says stuff like “she wasn’t popular in 2020” which has zero bearing on being unfit for office.

At long last, we cannot conclude anything else is at play here. It gives me zero satisfaction to say that. I would actually respect the poster more if he would at least be honest with us. Instead he talks in circles, saying nothing.

President Joe Biden refused to allow Vice President Kamala Harris to establish “daylight” between his policies and hers when she succeeded him as the Democratic presidential nominee last summer, an insistence that hamstrung her campaign and ultimately contributed to her defeat to Donald Trump at the polls, a new book alleges.

An excerpt from the forthcoming Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, published by The Hill, emphasizes that both Harris and Trump “understood the importance of being seen as the bigger change agent” due to the unpopularity of the Biden administration.

The authors assert that the Republican needed only to present himself as the “antidote” to the Biden-Harris era, but the VP potentially had a much greater degree of freedom in choosing how she presented herself to the electorate.

They argue that Harris had three options: she could make “clean breaks” with Biden by rejecting policy positions she had endorsed as his deputy (risking accusations of hypocrisy), she could seek out entirely new issues with which to define herself and run on or, alternatively, “she could rely on voters to see her gender, her genes, and her ‘lived experience’... as symbols of change.”

However, the first of those approaches was reportedly taken “off the table” by the president and his loyalists, with Biden saying publicly that Harris must do whatever was necessary to beat Trump but telling her in private that there should be “no daylight” between them, a message stressed to Harris “almost everywhere she went” by his aides, who were seeking to safeguard his legacy.……

Biden blocked Harris from breaking with him on policy during 2024 race, book alleges

Former president and aides were more concerned with protecting his legacy than allowing nominee to define her own narrative, authors argue

I wouldn’t give any credence to something published by The Hill on democrats, just saying. They’re biased against them, IMO.
