My mom has been a lifelong moderate Republican. She has worked on dozens of campaigns for local politicians, so she was very active in the political scene for a long time and knows a lot of people. I asked her last night if she knew any of her Republican friends that were planning to vote Biden/Harris and she said pretty much everyone she talked to is planning on it. She said she knows there are certainly Trumpers out there but they aren't among the contingent that she still speaks to. That made me feel a sliver of hope anyway.

Can I please just say that I love that they have the young Biden pic on shirts in the merch store? I am kind of obsessed with that.
I feel like I might need a malarkey button.

I hate to spoil this thread with this shit, but white men might not be ok. And, yes, it is disrespectful to continually mispronounce someone’s name. Especially when you’re entire job is about communicating words in the English language. I liked when he was like you might want to go tell all of Fox how to pronounce her name I don’t want to link anymore Tucker clips but he also said “how can Biden pick someone who thinks he’s a racist? Roll the clip” and the first words out of Kamala’s mouth are “I don’t think you are racist, but...”

All the lies about her record dubunked in one place. Plus her accomplishments. TW this does have tweets about some very horrific cases that Kamala Harris prosecuted.

Totally beside the point but dang. The only reason you can tell when you're looking at 30 year old Kamala or 50 year old Kamala is the video quality. The woman hasn't aged a bit (and she actually looks that good up close).

My brother posted this ridiculous meme, so I used some of jaygee ’s more eloquent words about Kamala’s past success (thanks!). He’s not a trump supporter either, but he’s been posting weird stuff lately and I needed to set him straight. There are some really good articles out there that explain her past positions, particularly the ones when she was AG, that people take issue with. There is one that Vox did, and it's up again on their site right now that you could share with him. It does a really good job looking at her career as a whole.... good/bad decisions made, activist's frustrations with her, the pressure she was under being a black woman, the reforms she was/is responsible for, and her taking responsibility for those decisions that have come under scrutiny. I really thought it did a good job. I really cannot stand when people post something with, well, a lot of nuance and boil it down to a meme. I am not saying the criticisms aren't right, because we should look at them. We should listen to activists. 100%. But a meme like this, it's meant to be divisive and that's it. No other purpose. And we don't have time for that BS right now while a fascist is in charge.

What could be said against someone who uses Kamalas support for Biden’s accusers? She believes women. She has been called upon to serve her country, and that's what she's doing. Both can be true and righteous.

Basically I feel we can walk and chew gum at the same time. Oh I get it. I’m not trying to battle everyone. But it’s my brother and I feel like he can hopefully be more understanding about her and her past accomplishments. I hear you. If you can find articles like the one I mentioned, share them with him. If you feel he would actually take the time to read it.

I've spent my entire morning on my front porch drinking coffee, watching kamala videos, reading kamala articles, and have been tearing up approximately every 15 minutes 🤣 Also signed up to text bank and was finally able to get my sign order through! I started re-reading her book last night. I'm ready!

The Fox News headlines today are freaking hilarious. Well maybe that’s not the right word. But they’re something.
“Pro-Trump Georgia Democrat: Kamala Harris is 'the wrong person' to win over Black voters”
Well, that sure didn’t take long.

Those don't mean anything. What the ever loving fuck is that?

There's a lovely photo of Kamala's parents flying around social media with people saying what a beautiful couple they were (true) but almost nobody talking about her father, Donald, being a world renowned economics professor and Civil Rights activist and her mother, Shyamala, being a brilliant cancer research scientist and civil rights activist. Go Cal! It makes me so happy that Kamala is a UC alum and is Cal adjacent. 😁
