    I bet they had this in mind from the start but wanted to wait until the anti-police stuff died down so that they didn't look like the most tone-deaf people on the entire planet. Of course, it hasn't died down, but they need a VP ahead of the convention, so here they are. Just terrific. What a godawful pick.

    Also, who is this for? Progressives don't like her. Name recognition isn't a factor, that's what got Biden the job in the first place. Being from California, she doesn't help get more electoral college votes. Biden already has support from large parts of the black community, and the parts that don't support him aren't coming onboard for her. The PMC libs would have been happy with literally any WoC, and who cares what they think because they're all voting blue anyway.

    I'm not surprised, I just don't understand what the angle is, other than that the Democrats have openly embraced their status as controlled opposition.

      Well, since Biden has a very real possibility of dying, they do need a VP which will 100% act in accordance with the DNC agenda. I think that’s probably the most important factor for VP choice tbh

        Good point. They don't have to worry about losing because there are always other elections, but they can't risk losing even a tiny amount of control over the party.

      Epstein brain warning: so at the end of one of Dave Chapelle's netflix specials he talks about how after one of his shows in CA Chris Tucker asked if he could meet him backstage. Dave said yes and when he went back there it was Tucker, Kamala Harris, and Gavin Newsom and then they called up then candidate Barrack Obama on the phone. The next day Dave was supposed to meet them at some fancy restaurant and when he went there Gavin Newsom was there with Prince Andrew and Dave got to meet the Prince. This is told as a humorous story about Dave getting to meet famous politicians out of happenstance but those with a broken brain will recognize that two Epstein connections are name dropped in the story and that Dave himself has jokingly defended alleged pedophiles on numerous occasions. Anyway I think Harris is in for the Epstein tie because I think the hosts are right and Biden might be a creep but he's too stupid to actually be a part of the global pedophile cabal. He just does capital's bidding for the ice cream cones

        I mean she's a senator, it's not surprising that she's hanging around other powerful people in California

      In fact, the pro-police, anti-BLM stuff has been insanely high on reddit lately. Especially in r/Chicago, which seems to have gone from centrist lib to racist neocon overnight. Very fucked vibes.

        City subreddits are absolute cancer. I don't know what it is about them, but it seems like no matter what part of the world, city subs are just filled with the worst kind of reactionary shitheads.

          Absolutely. r/Chicago has always sucked but lately it's been even worse somehow.

      They wanted Rice but were too afraid of relitigating Benghazi, and we figure I can spin my experience with the justice system as a plus, "I know what needs fixing!" or something like that. The PMC libs will eat that shit up.

      Also, it'll undermine Trump's "Law and Order" campaign play. Biden/Harris: The Toughest on Crime!

      i dunno if you heard, but Latinos are diverse and black America isn't. Well, that's what Joe said.
