People really shouldn’t care about the color. Her heart seems to be in the right place, her policies are good, and she is definitely very competent.
On the other hand we have Trump, who is a flaming narcissist, and mostly want to escape jail and lower taxes for the rich, and is a moron.
How is this even a race?
PS: Interesting article, with some good observations IMO.
her heart is on the right not in the right such as her positions on oil/fracking, right leaning immigration policies, not supporting a modern living wage, pro-police stance
if Harris would have grown up in a predominately black neighborhood with everything that involves down to pollution her platform would be a different story
The way to end fracking for good, is to provide enough sustainable energy, Kamala Harris has explicitly stated that she will work towards that.
I agree more effort on environment would be beter, but this is probably the best we can realistically get right now.
And between the 2 options, there is zero doubt that Kamala Harris is working towards the right goals, and Trump is not.my response had nothing to do with “But not Trump.” or what Harris’s donors have her working towards
Harris did not grow up in a poor, mostly black neighborhood with people that are underpaid, sick from pollution such as local oil/fracking and no healthcare, free from police oppression, an underfunded education system, and instead her politics are akin to someone with an HOA background
should matter that we the citizens have proper representation in our government and is part of the reason our laws/policies do not mirror the citizens
Her plan to help families with a fixed amount to buy a house for example, is more help to people with less money than rich people.
From your previous comments it seems like even AOC wouldn’t be left wing enough for you? Because even AOC is fundamentally in favor of a regulated free market capitalism as the economic basis for society, much like social democrats in Scandinavia.what good is a fixed amount to buy a house when the minimum wage is still $7.25?
That’s a bullshit argument, when Harris clearly supports raising the minimum wage.
I agree it’s long overdue, like decades overdue. But Harris has clearly stated she wants it increased.Harris at Aug. 10 Nevada campaign event:
When I am president, we will continue our fight for working families of America, including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers,
I’m not personally a fan of the tip thing, that’s a stupid idea IMO, but the minimum wage, absolutely needs to be way higher.
At her campaign 2020 Harris supported increasing minimum wage to $15,-.
you mean that $15 an hour Obama wanted 16 years ago that they keep dangling over our heads until we vote for them?
At the same time, we’re pushing to guarantee workers the pay, benefits, and protections they deserve as well. We passed the Butch Lewis Act, keeping over 2 million people’s hard-earned pensions solvent. We also raised the minimum wage for federal contractors to $17.20 an hour, and will keep pushing Congress to increase it to at least $15 for all Americans. We’re making millions more hourly workers eligible for overtime pay; and we’ve cracked down on wage theft and exploitation, recovering over $750 million for low-wage workers wrongly denied pay. We’re making it harder for employers to misclassify workers as independent contractors to avoid paying them full pay and benefits. We’re banning most non-compete agreements, freeing workers to move between jobs and negotiate. And we’ve restricted mandatory arbitration, so fewer employers can silence wronged employees in a workplace dispute

port workers are striking stating $80,000 a year is not enough, and you think $15 will not only cut it today but also buy a house with Harris’s plans
Obviously her race is not relevant in and of itself. What is relevant is that Trump seems to not even understand what it means for someone to be mixed race. The idea she “became black” is incredibly stupid and a damning indictment of her opponent.
She should continue to not really mention it. Everyone else should keep hammering Trump about this absolutely absurd statement.
I really doubt anyone that needs to understand why her race doesn’t matter is going to read this.
