But the biggest thing the Harris pick says is this: They think they’re going to win.

OT: Democrats have to be, "moderately liberal" or "centrist." Republicans can be neo-fascists.
This is how we got to where we are now, IMHO. Trump wants to terminate Social Security and put Medicare in the general budget to strangle it.
I started ignoring (as much as possible) Trump two weeks after his inauguration.
His endless political rallies and abrasive personality, not to mention the impeachment that was like throwing a stick of butter against a wall seemed very unpleasant, redundant, and pointless.
Now I'm starting to think the rest of you were right and I was wrong.
Kamala Harris? She seems compatible enough with Joe Biden.
Blue no matter who.
Is there any other reasonable and logical choice?

That's a really good piece. And the Manning/Leaf reference is right on point. Don't outsmart yourself.
Personally, I think she'll do a lot better than hold her own in the VP debate, but Pence will be Teflon because he'll be unflappable and ignore the questions and give canned responses.

CindysphinxShe’s only a few years younger than I am, but she did things very differently. I did not consider attending a black college. Never crossed my mind. Wouldn’t have gone if they gave me a full ride.

pianojugglerWell the first thing to watch for is what childish insulting nickname will I-1 start calling Ms. Harris.
Certainly he will be calling her Kamala--rhymes with Pamela, like Tugger Coralson did last night (even after being corrected).

pianojugglerWell, so far, she is "very very nasty" -- I-1's go-to adjective for any woman he doesn't like, especially ones that are more competent or powerful than he is (which is pretty much every woman on the planet, no?).

jon-nycIf he’s looking for a nickname might I suggest Madame Vice President?

Apparently the Biden screeners asked each potential candidate what they thought "Trump would call you" right in the first interview.

‘comma’ ― like the punctuation mark ― ‘-la.’ Kamala.
Ok, this is super helpful for me!!! Was it this thread where I posted that I hear her name wrong in my head? Anyway, I think I've gotten it fixed now. Thanks Tucker.
