I'm assuming the dead one made way better Jaeger bombs. Hence him being dead.

Alright then, were you in the streets in 1994 protesting the crime bill or are you a hypocrite?

I was an unborn hypocrite by that point. I wasn't yet born when the crime bill was passed. If I could time travel into the past like Kamala Harris, not only would I smoke pot while listening to Snoop, 2Pac and Biggie, but I would also protest the crime bill.

(Fun fact, Ready to Die released on the same day that the Crime Bill of 1994 was published)

Marjorie Taylor Greene, Qanon supporter who made racist videos, wins Georgia GOP nod

Quote:

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a businesswoman who has expressed support for the far-right conspiracy theory QAnon and been criticized for a series of racist comments, has won the Republican nomination for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District.

Greene beat neurosurgeon John Cowan in a primary runoff for the open seat on Tuesday in the deep-red district in northwest Georgia, despite several GOP officials denouncing her campaign after videos surfaced in which she expresses racist, anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim views.

Three Policy Reasons for Progressives to Be Happy About Kamala Harris

I was not aware you could make the progressives happy.

The Batlord 08-12-2020 03:20 PM

It is rather difficult to do with empty words from empty suits.

More ways you can't make them happy. I mean the only time I've ever seem them enjoy themselves is the CosPlay on the internet.

Being smarmy about being a sell out. Game changing attitude.

Copy/Pasting my own comment from a facebook thread -

[Kamala's] record as a prosecutor, DA and AG in CA is horrifying and did more lasting damage to Black and Brown families then she would have you believe - that's why her hollow ass campaign never gained its footing. She's the reason parents in the communities that most needed support would be arrested and jailed for years for their minor children's truancy, she is the reason why if you can't afford bail you stay in jail, she's the reason the death penalty situation is so ****ed up in CA, she chose to not decriminalize marijuana keeping thousands of nonviolent offenders in the prison system, and is arguably the reason for the sweeping mass incarceration of poor people and communities of color in California. She is all talk. She is only loyal to maintaining the status quo, she preaches progressive ideals but votes centrist. She poses as progressive, but has only ever taken a progressive stance when it was safe to do so. ACAB includes Kamala Harris. I do see her strength. Her prosecutorial skills were so welcome against Kavanaugh and in the Senate in general, but what we need is a revolution. And when it comes, Kamala will be nowhere to be seen.

She's a wannabe AOC but lacking the conviction.

Edit to add: She was also really harsh on sex workers, denied trans prisoners access to meds, and won't admit she ****ed up on SESTA/FOSTA. Elite trash.

I think you're giving her more credit than she deserves. Her campaign didn't lack enthusiasm because she didn't have progressive credentials, it's because she really didn't have any ideas. The two policy positions I saw her take where the "Yes M4A...wait no, people apparently don't like that." and her "debt forgiveness plan" which was so bad I thought it was for free points on a credit card.

I don't think she aspires to be AOC. I think she's far more calculating than that. AOC is one of the few people I feel like actually fights back when people attack her position. Kamalas positions are generally scraped clean of substance as to make them less objectionable.

You all must admit, despite the displeasure with the VP pick of Harris, it's been great for the memes.

Absolutely agree. I compare her to AOC more in the sense that Kamala is very good at dealing with the media, even when she's in hot water she'll muster some kind of articulate answer (maybe my standards are just that low after 4 years of 45). I see Kamala wanting to be in the headlines all the time like AOC is. But she doesn't have the charisma or the passion. She comes off like a Karen who's been proven wrong but refuses to admit it - you know, lots of scoffing and moving of goalposts. Shows exasperation toward their opponent as if they aren't themselves floundering. Etc.

^ That meme is great. All this time sustaining protests and actions against the police and the DNC gives us a cop and someone who wants to lock up anarchists. Smdh.

jwb 08-12-2020 04:15 PM

Tbh I don't really care about Kamala being the VP. She's no worse and no better than the other options that were being considered imo.

Like Big3 alluded to she's just a soulless pragmatist with no strong distinct principles or beliefs, somewhat similar to Biden in that regard.

I'm not heated about it or anything, I wouldn't have been excited about anyone. It's such a meaningless position. I keep seeing headlines saying Kamala will be the "most powerful VP ever" and it's just like... ???? How can that be if Trump's re-election has just been sealed?

TheBig3 08-12-2020 04:39 PM

No VP will be stronger than Dick Cheney in my lifetime. Because we won't have someone as maleable as Bush again on the Republican side, and the Democrats have too much infighting for such a power vacuum to exist.

I don't mind a soulless pragmatist if I think they're moving in the right direction. Clinton was a soulles pragmatist but I felt like she'd been fighting the good fight for so many years I had a sense of what she might do. That and my mother had been trying to vote for Clinton since 1993 when she worked on Healthcare.

Kamala to me seems like someone who doesn't have a reason to want power, just the want. I'm glad she's on the ticket because A. she makes it much harder to make claims about Biden/Harris being the "radical left" and because B. as we've said the VP won't be the main opperator here. It's Pelosi that runs the party for now, and I'm hoping to see a Warren, Castro, and Booker cabinet. I guess we'll see.

Lucem Ferre 08-12-2020 04:53 PM

I'm sick of getting off center candidates that are supposed to represent the left leaning views to appeal to the right. It's selling out the left to the right. That started with the economy destroying, minority caging blue tied conservative piece of shit Bill Clinton. Selling out what was supposed to be the left leaning party to appeal to the right. Now we just got a right leaning party and a centered party then a bunch of independents that nobody will vote for because we gots ta beat the right. Congrats on spitting on the people you're supposed to represent again, Democrats.

This country really hates the left.

Frownland 08-12-2020 04:58 PM

But if the dnc does the right thing instead of saying that they'll vaguely moving in the direction of the right thing on the pamphlet, they'll be the far left and that's BAD!

If you were mature enough to read thinkpieces you'd get it.
