Kamala Harris Will Hurt Trump and Pence and That's What We Need
snip//
You can tell that Trump is shitting himself over Harris because she is everything that he has feared his entire life: a strong Black woman straight from Central Casting who won't take shit and who will get high ratings every time she kicks him in his voluminous ass. He's gotta desperately play all the tropes, from the racist "angry" Black person to the woman who is "nasty" and "mean," which means not subservient to men like Trump. Shit, they're even rebooting the Willie Horton ads from 1988. What the hell else is he gonna do but break out the hits like this is still the 1980s and the suburbs are still a generic white paradise and aren't filled with middle-class people of all races who support things like Black Lives Matter and think Trump is an obscenity?
The Trump campaign is caught on Harris between trying to rile up the left with the aforementioned issues and calling her a "radical" who "has abandoned her own morals in an attempt to appease the socialist mob seeking to destroy America. Biden and Harris' disastrous proposals of defunding the police, increased taxes, job-killing policies, and opening our borders are just a few of the many ways they would destroy America." All you can say to Trump is "Motherfucker, you already destroyed America. You burned this shit down. Why would we re-elect you so you can piss on the ashes?"
Today, Biden and Harris offered more sympathy for families and loved ones of the Americans who have died of coronavirus than Trump has offered since the pandemic hit this country. They offered more hope in the form of realistically looking at the crises that Trump has created than in all the bullshit, pointless, delusional happy talk from the president and his administration. And Harris and Biden and their staffs look more like America than the KKK meeting that shows up at every Trump event.
Harris can prosecute the case against Trump and Pence starting now, and that's perfect. She can hurt them over and over. She can do it with confidence and charisma and cold, hard facts. We need that. We need them wounded again and again. We need Americans to feel ashamed to vote for these GOP dickscabs. That's why we need Harris now, not later as attorney general. When she's elected, Harris can lead a commission that exposes all their crimes. In fact, having her as vice president would help assure that Biden doesn't let it all slide just to move forward, as he and Obama did with the Bush administration's crimes. Harris the prosecutor knows that you can't let that shit go unpunished.
Yeah, the choice of Harris was entirely expected and not remotely surprising, and, goddamn, it felt good to have something go the way it's supposed to go. That can be really fucking energizing and get you ready for what's next. It makes you feel like "Yeah, maybe we can do this."

(45,433 posts)it's the dumbest campaign strategy I've seen. Harris is smart bold attack dog and will F him up.
She'll also inspire enough voters to turnout across the board. If we can have a fair election where everyone can vote who wants to, this will be like 2008 or even better.

(43,146 posts)It's like deep into a World Series, and you need a closer. The relief pitcher who can throw smoke and everything else. She is direct, transparent. And what high level speaking skills. You think she can't deliver 2-3% additional AA voters in South Carolina, Texas, Michigan?
Joe Biden is severely underrated. His longevity in government service at the highest levels should have clued us in. Elected the Senate at such a young age. Always there in national issues. Not a lot of controversy but very solid.
Don is boxed in at this point. Biden slow-walked the VP announcement. We're 1/2 way through August. Don will be lucky to create a narrative against Harris by next Tuesday. That's 77 days. Trump can hardly muster a Bund rally, few are listening to him. Voters have pretty much made up their minds. Debates won't change any minds, or very few.
We have to focus on GOTV. And the USPS barriers. Trump is Evil, Satanic.
