IT'S KAMALA BABY!!!! KAMALAAAAAAA! KAMALA FOR THE PEOPLE!!

[shosta]

Our long veepstakes nightmare is finally over.

Joe Biden has selected Sen. Kamala Harris to be his running mate, elevating a charismatic blue-state senator, former prosecutor and onetime 2020 primary rival who has built a reputation as an unyielding antagonist of the Trump administration.

Harris, the daughter of immigrants from Jamaica and India, was the wire-to-wire frontrunner for Biden’s No. 2 job. Her experience as a battle-tested presidential contender, her efforts leading major law enforcement offices and her political track record of three election wins in California helped her overcome a crowded list of contenders.

[shosta]

From this point on I'm going to refer to her as Shadow President Kamala

Kamala Harris is the perfect candidate engineered in a lab.

Black, but not too black.
A cop, but not a cop cop.
From godless California, but also a baptist church attendee
Electoral success, but not so long that she's a dynasty
She lived in Canada so she has foreign policy experience, but it's Canada so it's not TOO foreign
She majored in political science (policy but also fake job!) but also economics (job creator!)

Ive been saying this since 2015 guys

[benjipwns]

Told you guys about this months ago....

Look at these dudes rushing out to tout how they knew the thing everybody knew months ago too.

Look at this dude trying to humble brag by bagging on others for saying they knew the same thing.

[TakingBackSunday]

she's a good pick.  not sure why anyone would be surprised by this considering Biden ran away with the primaries.  Warren would be an awful choice politically for the senate and for 2024.  Harris is young(ish), popular, and has a progressive senate voting record.  Sure, valid attacks from progressives, but I don't see how Biden could've picked anyone else

[Skullfuckers Anonymous]

How is Biden going to abolish the police with a top cop as vp?

[Nintex]

  "Shoot 'em in the legs!"

[Dickie Dee]

I can imagine her pushing to go after Trumpcrimes with a vengeance and not wanting to just "move on". At least that's my current favorite thing about her I just made up in my head.

She had a shot of prosecuting Mnuchin as AG of California but didn't so

The difference between you and Mandark is that he would toot himself by actually pulling a quote from 5 years ago not 5 days ago.

[OnlyRegret]

we're getting biden with VP Harris as some sort of Obama inversion aren't we 

Bow down.
Shame they couldn't have waited till August 24 for the one year mark.

FOUR YEARS OF MAYA RUDOLPH PLAYING KAMALA HARRIS ON SNL

This may be the only good thing about this pick.

[Kara]

It rules that I may get to vote on Kamala Harris's replacement before that octogenarian gerontocrat Dianne Feinstein's.

[Positive Touch]

lmao imagine looking at the state of the country and being excited about these two fucking jerkoffs



sometimes i think i'm too cynical but really i think everyone just believes in this stupid system way way way too much

When do the candidates announce?

Its going to be another SF mayor vs LA mayor battle isn't it?

$5 on Ashley Swearengin as the dark horse

Way to make the ticket a bitter fucking pill.

[james]

Wow just realized Kamala is the first East Indies-West Indies unity candidate

This is historic.

What is the cricket world saying?

lmao so far everyone is just talking about what color she is and nothing about her policies. She has a lot to answer for me. Let's be honest.

Don't forget party loyalists who've been term limited out of office and don't want to run for another state office they can be term limited out of.

[EchoRin]

Well with this choice I don't see how Trump wins. And if he does just bash my head in with a hatchet.

[benjipwns]

wait, was Kamala even born in the United States? where is this "Oakland" at?

I'm excited because Kamala is gonna fire up the base and make the ticket seem a little less senile and we'll finally get this motherfucker out of the white house. Outside of that I have no faith in the federal system, I just want the abject chaos to end

Exactly how she made it to Iowa.

ok be honest guys... am I wrong? Does everyone hate Kamala or something?

[Kara]

Personally I have Kamala as a hedge against election fuckery. The KHive will definitely run a credible partisan campaign if they snatch another election, and you do not want to run up into that buzzsaw after COVID-19 and a recession.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

I don't hate Kamala.


but yes.

see this might have made me a little less cynical except the right has been working overtime for damn near 20 years now to dismantle democracy and the Dems response is crickets. like it fully feels like they figure that if they can pull in enough numbers to occasionally win and keep the money coming in then that's all that matters. there is absolutely no way these wildly unpopular conservative positions should be fully embraced by both parties, even as they cause the fucking collapse of the country. there is no reason the right should have as much power as it does. it is mind-boggling that the country is in the state that it is in now, and that everyone who brought us to this point is still in power. i hate it!

[BisMarckie]

It was a shitty and quite frankly a really offensive gimmick, even for the early 90's.
