Kamala, an Oakland girl

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Damn right.....in MAGA land, no one is above the LAW (Lying And Whining). My current favorite LAW is J.D. Vance saying "the left" needs to "tone down the rhetoric" in an effort to connect trump's two assassins' actions to things Democrats say, as if quoting trump's own words is somehow to blame for the attempts on his life. Hilarious.
:thumbup: Just Deranged needs to have his ass kicked by someone like:

Sam Elliott's Cussing In Folksy Campaign Ad May Make You Giddyup To Vote For Harris
The Western actor's gravel-and-honey voice reminds voters what's at stake on the range and elsewhere.


:thumbup: Yeah, I saw Sam's ad yesterday.

Well I think I know why some of the fence-sitters are saying they "want to know more specifics" about Harris' policies. They've all gotten used to people making sweeping "promises" without regard as to whether they have any chance of actually doing it. Trump is maybe worst. He'll get up in front of a crowd and make up "day one" stuff based on whatever the crowd might like to hear. "You guys vape? We'll give vapes out free." "And we won't tax overtime or tips and everybody gets a tax cut." Yada

On a local level, we've got a guy running for Mike Levin's seat who:
Doesn't really say he's a repug
Claims to be "pro-choice" despite having high ratings from the anti-abortion groups
Says he "has a plan" to reduce inflation, but doesn't tell us what it involves
Says he'll "secure the border" (all by himself, I guess), and
Says "California taxes are too high" (nevermind that the congresscritter job he's after has nothing whatsoever to do with California taxes

And we've got a woman running for state legislature who:
Promises to "Stop Newsom's gas tax" (Ok, so, um there are how many are in the state Assembly? 80? and how many of those are repugs? 17 on a good day? Exactly how to you plan to "stop" anything?)

We've got another who promises to "make housing affordable" and "solve the homeless problem"

So yeah, if Kamala wants to satisfy those people she's gonna have to go for Big Rock Candy Mountain
You've got me thinking I may resurrect my own campaign in which I run as "Nobody" so that I can honestly proclaim "Nobody will fix everything" and "Nobody will be your protector" and "Nobody will lower your taxes" and I may even throw in "Nobody knows the trouble you've seen."
