Most devastating attack will be using her sex for advancement with Willie Brown, not sex itself because Trump and many politicians had affairs but a woman using it for advancement goes against everything women have fought against in the corporate political world and the Hollywood casting couch.


" In the mid-1990s, Harris had dated Brown, who was investigated by the FBI when he was speaker of the California Assembly and as mayor was dogged by conflict of interest, and she had benefited from his political patronage. As the speaker of the state Assembly, Brown had named Harris to well-paid posts on the California Medical Assistance Commission and Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board. As mayor of San Francisco in 2003, Brown was supportive of her district attorney campaign although they were no longer dating. Critics—including her opponents—were bemoaning cronyism at City Hall. "
That's no scandal. For some it may be baggage, but IMO a minor thing. It's not like Trump doesn't have inappropriate sex scandals galore.

This is a very good point - if you’re concerned about this you would surely want to vote Trump as one of the things he’s best known for is his absolute refusal to staff powerful positions based on personal connections.

What’s also impressive about his resume is he rose to his position based on his own hard work and merit instead of say, inheriting it like some people.

Thing is... we can all see his age. It is an issue. A BIG ISSUE. Assuming they win... his Vice President WILL be President.
Nonsense. The average American male of Biden’s age can expect 10 additional years of life, and he is clearly healthier than average. So really, odds are solid Biden could not just serve his full term, but an entire second term.

What I don't understand it that its been heard that he wants a black woman. Why isn't this racist? If he said he wanted a white women, it would certainly be racist and the blacks would start a riot. But saying a black woman is not racist? Really?! Sounds like reverse racism.

It’s called racism. There’s no such thing as reverse racism.

Pro Tip for Biden: Do not ever, EVER, creep up behind Kamala, grab her and sniff her hair. Just...don’t do it.

THAT would be interesting. I think they made a movie about that called SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY. Joe gets elected, and Harris murders him in his sleep. And because of the NEW RULES provided by this Trump administration, Harris can pardon herself for the act of murder in the first. Works for me..... :mask:

And this matters why since she completed the vetting process

The neoliberal centrists have no policies positions or goals other than "meet the ever right-moving Republicans halfway" so the only way they can draw democratic constituent voters is to play identity politics.

I sincerely do not give a flying fuck of the oppression olympics where you score points based on how you are born.

Of all things, as shitty of a person as I find Kamala... I will at least vouch that she has some good experience under her belt... Which is ultimately how I judge someone the most.... You know, shit you actually do instead of skin colors you're born with?
Ok you consider Kamala shitty. Just curious what does that make Trump? I'm just judging your criteria.

After 230+ consecutive years of white men why is there a problem now?? Also the only thing Joe stated is that is was selecting a woman. Other people wanted a black woman. Please be accurate.

Well, been watching various news/talk shows since the announcement and I guess this was the best Joe could do. Besides... republicans are freaking and democrats are rejoicing, so maybe this will work out after all. When Trump claimed "this is what I was hoping for", i.e. that it be Harris then you know what Trump really meant was "Holy shet, I'm like totally F-ed". Trump isn't very smart. but at least Trump knows when his party is living in the past, while the democrats are quite up to speed and cutting edge. That must bother Donald Trump to no end. Someone mentioned that Trump should ditch Mike Pence and go for a woman to help the ticket. Knowing Donald Trump, he probably wishes he could do that but doesn't know how. Well Donald, you could say that Mike Pence caught the coronavirus and had to drop out, then replace Mike with a woman. Your base would definitely believe THAT.

I dont know man, its the same conundrum as conservative talking points that ridicule feminism while at the same time trying to take away womens rights to choose. You know its my baby too, I think its very anti-man, to not give me a say in the matter... maybe even a veto? Thank god for true conservative hero's like Ben Shapiro.

Basicly we are living in an anti-white, anti-man time. What the hell has the world come to???

You might try looking up "Reverse Racism" in Wikipedia, Dictionary.com, Lexico.com, Oxford dictionary, Urban Dictionary, Collins Dictionary and Merriam-Webster. Perhaps reverse racism does exist but you just were not informed about it.

Personally, I'm not as enamored with Kamala Harris as others may be. But doesn't deter me one bit this time around. In for Biden Harris 2020
