If the democrats win they will make it so no republican can ever win the election again. They want to let illegal immigrants vote. There are at least 11 million illegals, many estimates say there are over 20 million illegals.

Schools and media are pushing a severely liberal agenda and with democrats in control the media and schools will have free reign to lie and brainwash without any accountability. And we're already seeing conservative censorship, it's going to get MUCH worse if democrats are in control.

Also mail in voting and ballot harvesting heavily favor democrats. This is an existential election for republicans and independents.

Do you realize you're spewing lies or are you such an imbecile you actually believe this? The ballot issues in the last election were acts by Republicans. There is no proposal to let illegal immigrants vote.

Seriously... is it just the racism driving this?

I agree. A lot more people are racist than you'd think.

Harris was 100% picked based on the color of her skin and her gender. To be fair, she is more qualified than Obama was, but Obama was also the worst president in the history of the united states.

Having experience doesn't mean you actually have good policy ideas. And Harris' policies are TRASH. She is entirely bought by wall street and the massive corporations that progressives hate. Biden is owned by the banks, credit card companies and big business.

Harris was polling at 3% in the democratic primaries. She was so unpopular she backed out before the first votes were cast. Not even democrats thought she was a good candidate for a job.

The ability to say something of which you have absolutely no knowledge, but to say it with such conviction and confidence, is impressive.

This was Trump on July 29th: Asked how he'd rate Harris as a vice president, Trump said, "I think she'd be a fine choice, Kamala Harris. She'd be a fine choice." Are you full of it, or was Trump full of it two weeks ago?

Is it really that hard to admit that a person of color, a woman of color no less, is actually competent, qualified and intelligent?

3 percent

Which 3 percent was it ? Must have included the 1 percent

Well Biden admitted in the debates that he would only consider WOMEN for his VP position. He never formally announced he was only going to pick a black woman, but he strongly suggested it many times.

Additionally, top black leaders said they wouldn't support the pick if it wasn't a black female. It's no coincidence his top 4 choices were all black women - Susan Rice, Stacey Abrams, Karen Bass, and Harris.

The reason he chose Harris is because wanted Susan Rice to have one of his top spots in the intelligence agencies to cover up their corruption (Harris is not qualified for that position). Harris couldn't have been an AG pick, Biden wants Holder.

Again, it's not just me saying Harris sucks. It was 97% of your own democratic voter comrades.

Chosen because of her race and gender....you have to be offended about the belittlement of women, as she clearly wasn't chosen for her qualifications by an old white guy. I think her family owed slaves too

For the same reason I found it ironic that she was going off on institutionalized discrimination last night during her speech when she has benefitted from the only legal form of institutional discrimination (affirmative action) most of her adult life.

Not wanting someone as our first choice or even 2nd doesnt mean they suck.

President Obama didn't want Joe, and the Dems were not interested in Kamala, but they make a Dream Team for the Republicans!

Why do you think she has benefited from institutional discrimination? Evidence?

You seem to think you know about her life; how have you benefited from your white privilege throughout your life? Let me guess. Everything you have achieved in life you have received by dint of your hard work. You've pulled yourself up by the bootstraps at all times. Right? Your race and gender had nothing to do with your college acceptance, your employment history, where you live, interactions with law enforcement and legal system, any of countless other ways? Right? Do share.

She did receive affirmative action despite having a doctor and a a tenured Stanford professor for parents.

No historically Black college or university gives affirmative action preference to Black applicants. Public historically Black colleges & universities do give minority scholarships to White students. Kamala Harris attended Howard University, historically Black university. No affirmative action there. Kamala Harris attending law school, UC-Hastings. UC-Hastings is not hard to get into. How do you know Kamala Harris did not have at least the average L.S.A.T. and average g.p.a. of other students at UC-Hastings? Kamala Harris' public jobs in CA were jobs to which she was elected. Did you want Joe Biden to select Tim Kaine for v.p. nominee? Considering Biden's age, Biden needed to select someone under age 60. The country does not need a v.p. dropping dead with an elderly Joe Biden as prez. If Biden wins, Biden will be the 1st Democrat elected U.S. President past age 60 in his 1st term since Andrew Jackson. It would not have made sense for Biden to select an elderly Democrat U.S. Senator or an elderly Democrat Governor.

The VP is always picked to supposedly plug a gap that the presidential candidate may not fill.

Pence was picked because given Trump's disgusting history, they felt they needed someone to assure the vote of the crazy evangelicals who might not approve of that sort of behavior.

It didn't matter. There is no level of depravity Trump could sink to and these people won't vote for him as long as he opposes abortion, says nice things about guns and hates minorities/lefties.

Republicans are too stupid to figure out how to use the post office or would they never be caught dead mailing something?

In fact voting by mail has historically favored GOP candidates somewhat. "Absentee voting has long been a favorite of older, whiter, Republican-leaning voters."

Kamala Harris' ancestors were wealthy SLAVE OWNERS. Her own family has literally benefited from from slavery of black people. That wealth has carried through and allowed both of her parents to get great educations so they can get very lucrative jobs. Harris grew up in a VERY wealthy family.

She literally got this VP position because of her gender and skin color. Joe Biden just admitted it - ""The government should look like the country" or in other words, what you look like is more important than your qualifications.

Harris had a PRIVILEGED upbringing, but she still wanted an extra boost. So she had an affair with the most powerful politician in CA and got that guy to appoint her to very lucrative government jobs. She used that money and experience, along with the fame she gained from dating that politician, to win her first election. She won her subsequent elections by calling everyone who disagreed with her racist. That's an effective strategy in snowflake CA.

I agree. Most people agree that the Willie Brown thing leaves a bad taste in their mouth. The whole Brown thing is hard to swallow. Not for Harris! Her hubbie must be proud!

I am a little younger than Kamala and the laws were the same when I was going into college as when she was going into college. When I was applying to colleges, a lot of my peers who were less accomplished than I (lower gpa, lower SAT and ACT scores, passed fewer AP tests, etc.) were given better scholarship offers and admitted to more prestigious schools than I simply because they were a different color or gender (pretty much the definition of discrimination, other than this form of discrimination has been acknowledged and upheld by the supreme court). This in spite of the fact that many came from more wealthy and powerful families than mine.

Kamala's parents reached the apex of their respective professions, she reached the apex of her profession (Attorney General of California), the individual whose speech preceded her's reached the apex of his profession (former President Obama). The individual she had an affair with (Willie Brown) reached the apex of his profession. If there is so much institutional discrimination, how on earth are all of these individuals reaching the top of the mountain? How on earth was she able to become a vice presidential candidate if there is so much institutional discrimination against her?

Can we stop promoting the hollow narrative that there are so many institutional barriers out there when the only legal ones go decisively in the opposite direction? Every private sector job I have ever applied for I have gotten. Every government job I have applied for I have been passed over despite a sterling resume, no skeletons in the closet and impeccable credit. You tell me why (and by the way, in the town I live in, I am in the ethnic minority).
