Or it would be picking an extremely popular governor in a state that if they win will give them a huge shot to win the presidency. Occam’s razor. 

I read this in the voice of Debbie Wasserman Shultz.

This is an INSANE strategy.

What does it even stand to gain? The racists already vote Trump. What new vote does this bring to the table? 
 

They already sidelined the ‘this election is all about policy’ line.

I challenge you to find the difference between a russkie bot and an actual Trumpkin.  Both just robotically spout Trumpist propaganda and lies, with no independent critical thought.

Bots are Trumpkins.  Trumpkins are bots.

If the pick is Shapiro, it would be the most on brand DNC move and would stink to high heaven of some back room wine cave deal.  Kinda like Obama picking Joe Biden but worse.

Yep. This is gonna get ugly. I think it’s all downhill from here for the Trump campaign 

I don't think he will (or should) be the pick, but I am bemused by the concept of fanning the flames of MAGA bigotry.

The other - wait for it -  weird thing about the MAGA bit here is that Harris has been pretty open about her mixed heritage, at least since she's come onto the national stage. Mixed race individuals and families are plenty common in the US in 2024. This idea that Kamala Harris can't be Indian and black is going to fall flat against most people's day to day experience. They are really showing heir ass here.

Boy, I can't wait to hear my FIL fumble through his version of the spoon fed equivocation he's going to hear over the next 2 days. It's going to come out like a Mad Libs.

Thing is, this double down is going to play just fine with MAGA, because they think nuance and duality are Kentucky Derby horses. It's not going to fly with black people though, obviously.

Guarantee that most of the dumbasses in that crowd who claim to not understand mixed heritage are able to fully grasp it on St. Patrick's Day.

I would love to see working class and poor people organize a call upon which they could make it clear to the Harris campaign that their voices, hopes and dreams matter. They may not be able to raise cash but they can spread hope and encourage those in their orbit to become informed participants in the political process at all levels.

Gets everyone arguing about whether Kamal is black or not, instead of JD Vance fucking his couch.

Unions are the closest thing I'd say

Kamala is in Houston for the 2nd week in a row, do they know something or is it just coincidence? 

One visit was for a national teacher's union conference likely scheduled well in advance, and now she is there for SJL services.

Texas is a legitimate campaign stop as a Democratic presidential candidate to hit the ATM and try to drum up enthusiasm that might help in down ballot races, but I would not read anything into it beyond that.

She should only be in TX, Cali and Chicago for money. She ain’t dumb.

She is going to live the next 3 months in GA, NC, WI, MI, PA, AZ, NV

Gen X lost their shit after turning 50 and/or Covid. Trump is the first reactionary "celebrity-turned-politician of their adult lives that they, as an age group, broadly supported.

My first presidential election was 1988. I voted for Dukakis over Bush and I've voted democrat in every presidential election since.

They know that Harris county (coincidence?) could flip the state if they really wanted to.  But ain't nothin gonna happen.

What is their obsession with "she's not really Black" line? Do they think this is all of a sudden going to get independents and others to swing their way? 

It feels like trying to tell someone what race they are is just a bigger turnoff to voters. 

 

I mean, I never thought they'd get more than 12% Black vote and they definitely aren't now.

Yep.  It's not just that ethnic/multi-ethnic/multi-racial families are common among voters.....they are common friends and neighbors of voters.  Those white kids who go to Westlake?  Most of them have friends with names like Naya and Jai.  And at other schools, the white kids have friends with names like Jorge, and Dewayne and Lamar.  Sure, there are super-white suburb high schools, but they aren't as common as you'd think.  Among the under 40 crowd, the vast majority grew up with and have social circles that include a variety of ethnicities.  Shit, my son was home for a couple of weeks, and the parade of his buddies that came by was (either in whole or in part) hispanic, indian, afghan, jewish, chinese, and white.  When you shit on multi-ethnic people, you are shitting on the friend and neighbor group of probably 80% of Americans (sure, that includes Trumpkins, who tell their ethnic friends "oh, I don't mean you....you're one of the good ones!")

I like this idea very, very much.  Just a "Hardworking Americans for Kamala call."  And have it NOT be about fundraising, but about what they can do to help the campaign, block walk, talk to their family members, get people registered to vote, etc.

Wouldn’t it just confused the racists to be told she isn’t black?  They can’t be a difficult cohort to flummox.

My guess is they want people to think that she changes constantly to suit whatever she needs to be in the moment.

“Race doesn’t matter!”

“Harris isn’t really black?”

Recognition of the fact among  poor and working class people of all ethnicities that they have more in common than not, would be the death knell for Trump’s brand of divisive politics.

I was 4 so I can’t comment on what the election was about, but all I know of the 1988 election was 1.) The Willy Horgan ad, 2.) Kitty Dukakis rape/murder debate question 3.) Dukakis riding in a tank and 4.) Bush promising no new taxes.

I just read Duakis actual response to that crazy question and I can’t see how that was a bad answer.

Let's parlay this funeral into a fundraiser.  Politicians really have no shame.  Don't get me wrong, I'm voting for her for sure but man that's just classless.
