Oh btw I apologise if anyone truly thought I was out of pocket earlier. My car is hosed up, and I am freaking the gently caress out and there's some other traumatic poo poo going on. I am doing my best y'all.

as a california resident who's been following kamala harris since before she was on the national radar i decided i would never support her for higher office after she supported those orange county district attorneys that wasn't a pragmatic political decision made in a different time or however else you want to spin it, that was some thin blue line bullshit. she's pretty bad, like most of the big name democrats in california

And here we go. Did you guys consider that Harris is 54 years old and thus has been lovely for longer? So you want to hold her being lovely longer against her because she wants to be president?? Like what the gently caress even is this argument? "She has lovely views, please ignore them?" LeeMajors posted:This thread needs a pick-me-up Let me pick my jaw off the floor.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:Yeah, uber has been out over a decade now, I get that it may have blindsided traditional companies when it launched but it's just pathetic at this point how poorly traditional taxis have organized to make any sort of modernization. If I could just have an app with similar features that summoned a yellow cab I'm sure I'd prefer that to it summoning some weird guy, but that app doesn't exist, or at least, that app exists split over hundreds and thousands of separate apps with wildly different functionality. Like uber operates in 70 countries, while traditional cab companies operate in like, half of a city and may or may have an app. and that app might not have half the features I expected or may not even be in my language or accept my credit card.

Y'all just better keep your nit-picking to the primary. Tear these people apart but you'd better literally, unironically vote blue no matter who. I'm gonna get torn apart for saying that but I really don't think Harris would have let Puerto Rico suffer for months with no aid or forcibly separate kids from their families and stuff them in cages.

Clinton running can only be a good thing. She'll be quickly booted after gaining no traction. Her eventual endorsement for whichever centrist will be devalued, and possibly a liability.

She has an uphill battle to show people she is motivated to implement change, and will follow through unlike Obama.

Yeah, see: That's not how it works. If candidates know that voters will vote blue no matter who, then they don't need to pander to us even during campaign season. This is the one chance we have to examine their record, get them on record, and then hold them to the record before they go all "don't make the perfect the enemy of the good" on us.

Real Q, it would help me better understand your take. on the subject of "we must deter immigration by caging children," yeah. trump just relished the cruelty while to the obama administration it was a tragic side effect of technocracy that wasn't worth the political capital to correct. remember all those chuds defending the child cages by saying "HEY OBAMA DID IT TOO" they weren't making that up Trump's sole innovation was doing it explicitly out of spite instead of as a simple matter of ~legal deterrence~

I'm gonna get torn apart for saying that but I really don't think Harris would have let Puerto Rico suffer for months with no aid or forcibly separate kids from their families and stuff them in cages. Obama allowed multiple bills to pass and be signed by him that functionally gave control of Peurto Rico's government to investors from outside, and that absolutely was a major factor why the hurricane destroyed so much. Obama put kids in cages, if you genuinely believe that there's an actual moral difference between 'they were unaccompanied minors' and 'separated kids at the border' I'd love to know why being put in a cage doesn't gently caress one of those kids up but does the other. Harris isn't to the left of Obama.

Well maybe I misunderstood that situation, because I was under the impression that Obama did what he did because they were unaccompanied and it would have been neglectful to just release kids on their own. Not as a specific deterrence. Someone else: what's the truth here?

I am really not liking the "no criticisms allowed after the primary ends" bullshit going on in here. gently caress that. I will crawl over broken glass to vote for anyone the Dems nominate but that won't make the nominee's potential liabilities and weaknesses disappear. This is how we got 8 years of lame dick centrism rather than any real progressive last time we had a shot and moving things forward.

Is that Harris' gameplan? Maybe it is, but sje might just be shooting straight with '3rd Way" bullshit. I don't see why she'd move dramatically to the left.
