Official LRC Kamala Harris for President Thread

On the other hand Harris is....

I don't see how expanding food stamps to cover even more crappy food is 'helping poor people eat healthier'. "While not explicitly mentioned, soda can be purchased using SNAP benefits. A 2016 report from the USDA found that sweetened beverages, like soda, are the most commonly purchased items by SNAP recipients across the U.S."

SNAP Benefits: Can You Use Your EBT Card/Food Stamps To Purchase Soda?

SNAP, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered at the state level, provides food assistance to low- and no-income households across. The U.S. SNAP benefits can only be...

If you'll have food stamps, at least only limit it to rice, chicken, vegetables, and similar. We don't need to subsidize unhealthy habits even more. Just look at how much welfare single mothers get because it's subsidized by the state.

Trump’s ex advisor was charged with violating US Russian sanctions.
So Trump promises to lift sanctions on Iran and Russia if he is elected.

Nothing says the US is tough on Russia like giving them back all of their money after invading their neighbor and demolishing their cities.

I'll agree with you that food stamps buying unhealthy stuff is not great.

but I'm talking about the refusal of red states to take more money to help medicaid people.

and of course you people would kill the ACA in a second if you had the votes.

ATLANTA – Just 10 states have not expanded Medicaid – mostly in the South, where Republicans dominate state legislatures. But a decade after the Affordable Care Act made the option available, Medicaid expansion is becoming harder to resist.

1) Not wrong about anything.

2) Politicians can and do change their views on things all the time. Trump has a long history of flip flops (but so do ALL politicians).

3) Kamala Harris has not been the President, so any agenda she sets for herself going forward after she wins (which she will) is hers. She doesn't own Biden's agenda.

4) Yes, she and Trump share some views. Big deal. Harris could have exactly ALL the same views as Trump, and I'd still vote for her because she's not a criminal, sexual abuser, autocrat, POS human being.

5) Yes, Rasmussen is a horrible polling source, skewed heavily towards Republicans. You shouldn't count on polling anyway, but if you're looking for a poll that is at least a little bit accurate, it's not Rasmussen.

6) You are wrong about predicting Trump as the winner. The 13 Keys clearly have Harris as the winner, and she WILL win. There are so many headwinds against Trump...he's old...he's stupid...the abortion issue is an albatross around his neck...he's a convicted felon who will soon be sentenced, and he has more legal issues ahead; Americans are tired of that nonsense. BUT again, it's the 13 Keys that really matter, and Harris is the predicted winner...and she WILL win.

The ironic and hilarious thing about Trump (and personally I would have rather NOT have had to deal with him all these years now) is that the pushback against him has done so many things that progressives have wanted that would NOT have happened yet if it hadn't been for Trump's political existence:

Washington Redskins name changed
Cleveland Indians name changed
Confederate Battle Flag properly demonized and prohibited from NASCAR events and many other places
Confederate statues and monuments removed
First woman President about to be elected

Joe-nomics continue to kick tushie

Hey let's toss overboard the people who delivered a brilliant economy in favor of the guy who thinks tariffs are taxes on foreign countries and speaks in utter gibberish about economics.

JPM's DAVID KELLY, on
@CNBC
:
We think inflation will run at a 2.6% annual rate next week. Meanwhile, unemployment is running at 4.2%.
"That combination is better than it's been for 85% of the time over the past 50 years."

remember, ma'ga is STILL calling it the 'Russia Hoax.' after all we have learned about the russian penetration of the Republican Party.

US Senator, Rand Paul not only had his campaign manager go to prison for taking Russian money but now one of his advisors is indicted as a Russian spy.
Yet,
@RandPaul
is STILL a US Senator. And STILL voting exactly as he's instructed by his Russian handlers.

Take a look at your state budget and see how much of it goes to Medicaid. If you want to know why things like your schools are underfunded it’s because the expansion in Medicaid that you are touting is now the biggest chunk of your state budget. In my state, in 2008 healthcare was 20.7% of the state budget and education was 23.0%, now healthcare is 36.2% of the state budget and education is 18.4%.

now do a rich democratic school district

UPDATE: Monday, August 26, 2024 @ 11:41 AM | BRUSHFORK, WV (WVNS) — Two people are dead from what law enforcement said was an apparent murder-suicide.
According to a press release from the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a home on Brushfork Road for a report of an unwanted guest. According to the press release, the person who called said an estranged boyfriend of her daughter was at the home and refusing to leave.
While deputies were on their way to the scene, a call came in from a home close to the initial report saying gunshots had been heard.
Once on scene, deputies found one woman in her late 20’s dead, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. While the scene was being processed, deputies were notified of the suspected male shooter being found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound within Bluefield city limits.
The female victim’s family, which included children, reportedly witnessed the deadly shooting. The identities of both the female victim and shooter will not be released due to the nature of the investigation.
An investigation into the shooting remains open.

Well, the formerly best schools won't do as well anymore when the left allows legalized discrimination against certain groups. Why is "merit" a word the left hates?

Biden expanded food stamps and people got fatter. It also inflated food prices for everyone by 15%.

Feeding Inflation: How President Biden’s Unlawful Food Stamp Expansion is Costing Taxpayers and Consumers Billions

Biden's unlawful food stamp expansion will cost taxpayers $250 billion over the next decade and has heavily contributed to soaring prices.

But I think what agip was pointing to was the Medicaid expansion under Obama and Biden that has started bankrupting state budgets as they have started bearing an increased burden of the cost.

rurals are dying off.

According to a 2021 U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report on mortality data from 1999 to 2019, people living in rural areas die at higher rates than those living in urban areas—and the gap has been widening. Rates for the top 10 causes of death in 2019 (including heart disease, cancer and accidents) were all higher in rural areas. And the pandemic has only exacerbated things: COVID is now the third leading cause of death nationwide, and rural areas account for a higher share of those deaths per capita than urban areas.

dude the confederate states refused medicaid expansion because the idea of black people getting more public health care is just about the worst thing white rural ma'gas can think of.

We all know this. Stop it.

That's why they've been voting for Rs for generations and that's what they're doing today.
