Official LRC Kamala Harris for President Thread

Pragmatic, courteous, down-to-earth Democrat met with disdain and contempt from Harris

Voices of reason shunned by elitist leaders. Pretty much sums up the Democrats these days.

*********
A Democrat who represents a GOP-leaning House district in Washington state has shared a revealing interaction she had with Vice President Kamala Harris months before her electoral shellacking by Donald Trump.

Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez told the New York Times in an interview published Friday that she initially had high hopes when Harris became the Democratic nominee — but never got so much as a phone call to shore up her support.

“When Harris first came out, I was open to talking with her. I know she called a lot of my colleagues; she never called me,” the freshman Democrat said. “I’ve had one interaction with Harris, at her Naval Observatory Christmas party.”

Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez told the New York Times that she at first had high hopes when Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee.

“I’m not super comfortable at that kind of thing. I’d had a couple of beers, and I noticed that almost all of the garlands were plastic. My district grows a hell of a lot of Christmas trees,” she recalled.

“I was strong-armed into taking a picture. I said, ‘Madam Vice President, we grow those where I live,'” Gluesenkamp Perez went on.

“She just walked away from me. There was kind of an eye roll, maybe. My thinking was, it does matter to people where I live. It’s the respect, the cultural regard for farmers. I didn’t feel like she understood what I was trying to say.”

still trying to find ways to cheat. Face it, you lost Kamala was a horrible candidate and you my friend, are a loser.

Aint gonna happen. Not enough California votes left to make up a 4.3 Million popular vote deficit as of 3:30 PM ET Friday.

Maybe better to say he is a winner who lost. We need to unify.

sorry, two kinds of people in this country, Winners and democrats.

This aged well. Trump won Florida by about 14 percent. Cruz kept his senate seat by over 8 percent.

^^ This is clearly one of those people screeching and cutting all their hair off on Tik Tok.

The cackling moron could win 90% of the remaining votes in CA and she still wont win the popular vote.

Huh--another person who doesn't understand that there are still millions of votes to be counted.

Trump has already done more in the last 48 hours than Sleepy Joe/Cackles to try to end wars.

Aaaaand ANOTHER one who doesn't understand that there are millions of votes yet to be counted.

So sad that these people know so little about their country's political system.

Buddy. there are not enough votes left to flip the popular vote, please pay attention.

Right. They riot, but differently, as on 1/6/21. Good point.

Still whining and going back 4 years, it's over and as they said in Goodfellas, She's Gone and there was nothing we could do!!

I didn't say there were (and I don't think there are)! But these people were asserting that Harris would have 15 million fewer voters than Biden, which we already know is false. I suspect the deficit will end up right around half of that figure.

Biden was simply a better candidate for 2020 than Harris was for 2024, and his higher total is easy to understand. BTW Trump only got ~63 million in 2016 and Clinton ~66 million. Harris is already millions higher than those.

Yes, sorry, just correcting the mistake of someone who was going back 8 years. You're right, we ALL should be looking ahead.

And not, for instance, rehashing the 2020 election. Point taken.

They all said they wanted to discuss peace prior to the election.

They all want terms that their counterparts consider non-starters.

Trump might sell out Ukraine to the Russians. He's absolutely not going to sell out Israel.
