Why do people insist Kamala would be a good President when she was a lousy VP?

[Daniela1982]

After all…

She's the "border czar" who opened the floodgates and let 20 million illegals storm into our country…

Then went on CNN to push for free, taxpayer-funded Medicare for each one of them.

So, don't wait to see how things shake out. Kamala is a "defund the police" extremist who's happy to redistribute your hard-earned money…

And channel it into an unprecedented "social justice" spending spree.

[DrPepper12]

Glad you asked!

Sure!

Kamala Harris has achieved numerous significant accomplishments throughout her political career:

As District Attorney of San Francisco (2004-2011), Harris established a program to give first-time drug offenders the chance to earn a high school diploma and find employment, which became a national model.

As California Attorney General (2011-2017), she won a $20 billion settlement for Californians whose homes had been foreclosed on and a $1.1 billion settlement for students and veterans taken advantage of by a for-profit education company. She also defended the Affordable Care Act in court.

In the U. S. Senate (2017-2021), Harris championed legislation to fight hunger, provide rent relief, improve maternal healthcare, expand access to capital for small businesses, and combat climate change. She questioned two Supreme Court nominees while on the Judiciary Committee.

As Vice President (2021-present), Harris has led efforts to protect voting rights, women's reproductive freedoms, and gun safety. She set a new record for most tie-breaking votes cast by a Vice President, including the decisive vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act. Harris also presided over the confirmation of the first Black woman to the Supreme Court.

In SF as DA:
Harris initiated an anti-truancy program in 2008 that threatened to prosecute parents whose children chronically missed school. This was controversial, as it could potentially lead to jail time for parents.

She declined to pursue the death penalty for a gang member who shot a San Francisco police officer, showing her opposition to capital punishment as DA.

Harris advocated for youth diversion initiatives and bias training for law enforcement.

She positioned herself as a "get-it-done" progressive, focusing on bringing law and order to the streets while emphasizing personal responsibility.

Under her tenure, property crime in San Francisco decreased from 39,384 reported crimes in 2003 to 33,200 in 2010.

Harris pushed for programs that helped people find jobs instead of putting them in prison, reflecting her "smart on crime" approach.

But wait! there's more!!!

As CA AG:
California Homeowner Bill of Rights: Harris championed this legislation, which provided homeowners with protections against unfair foreclosure practices

Criminal Justice Reforms: She launched initiatives to reduce recidivism, including programs focused on implicit bias training for law enforcement and a statewide body camera program

Environmental Initiatives: Harris defended California's environmental laws, including the state's cap-and-trade program and Low Carbon Fuel Standard, and reached settlements with major oil companies over violations of state laws

Death Penalty: Although personally opposed to the death penalty, she defended its constitutionality in court, arguing for its legal review.

Come back if you need more!

You been smoking weed again?

[MisterWack]

DrPepper very informative takes, thank you.
Truly utilizing facts, reasoning, and summarizing everything into a well put together piece. Thank you.

[Daniela1982]

@MisterWack So two of you have been getting high. 😂🤣

[MisterWack]

All Daniela and these Trumpies know are attack, deflect, mislead, and intimidate. When you pull back the curtain you’ll see the Wizard of Oz.

Veteran Benefits, Manufacturing Jobs, Infrastructure, and so much more have been promised & delivered under a less majority compared to the majority Trump & his constituents had.

These people don’t know Bipartisanship because they have been fed hate, resentment, and false promises… That is why I no longer support Trump. Fool me once, shame on me… Fool these Americans twice, shame on them!

[Daniela1982]

@MisterWack It wasn't the Trumpies who tried to jail Trump, try to assassinate him, and vote in an incompetent ding bat like Biden. You also noticed they also dumped him and are going for another loser. But that's just my opinion. Oh wait! This is my thread. 🥱

This is democrat speak for she enabled illegal aliens to vote, made it possible to kill a baby on the day before it is supposed to be born, limit gun ownership for citizens, she cast the tie breaking votes that caused runaway inflation, she presided on the confirmation of a Supreme Court justice that cannot define what a woman is, It is no wonder she does not talk about past accomplishment.

[Daniela1982]

@exitseven Well said. 😃 If she were to have her way, they would confiscate all guns instead of just having gun buy backs. She will raise the National debt to $50 Trillion is the word on the street.

[Joshydavid25]

Lmao, you seem to have listed more accomplished than she herself did. Lmao..

[MisterWack]

I’m a former Trump supporter, I would be happy when she wins this election season. So much is at stake, I would be so excited and relieved.
Kamala Harris helped with the passage of Chips And Science Act (manufacturing of microchips in America), Pact Act (biggest veteran benefits package in modern American politics), Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (Trump’s broken promise which helps our roads, bridges, airports, wifi connectivity, 5G network, highspeed rail, etc.), Affordable Care Act Expansion, Prescription Drug Cost Slashes (2026 will take effect saving Americans total of $6 billion), Inflation Reduction Act, promising to punish price gouging practices by greedy companies/corporations, promising to increase taxes on wealthy to decrease taxes for every hard working American.
Tim Walz really proved himself with his legislative achievements in Minnesota. Increases in Child Tax Credit, decreased taxes, raised minimum wage, 15 week paid parental leave for Amazon warehouse workers, school faculty, nursing home staff, and hospital staff, more, free breakfast & free lunch school programs for all children, decreased taxes, Certified Union Member. Trump even congratulated him taking his advice on leading against the BLM riots on audio recording.

I have faith in her, she will make a damn good President.

Just a reminder: Democrats had less majority in Senate & House compared to Trump’s majority with Republicans… No excuse why Biden/Harris achieved his promises, no excuses other than Democrat Party reached across the aisle while Trump Tweeted his fingers off.

[MisterWack]

2017 Trump Takes Office
232/202 & 55/45 Majority

2021 Biden Takes Office
Biden- 50/50 Split & 222/211 Majority

Infrastructure, Veteran Benefits, Manufacturing Jobs, Job Investments, Healthcare Reform… All Passed Under Democratic Leadership even though Trump originally promised then never delivered.

[Yabbut]

First people were convinced that if they supported one side, they were more virtuous, smarter, and better people. Then they were convinced that to be called any of the "ists" or "phobes" was the worst thing they could be called. Then they were told by that side that the other side was all the "ists and phobes". So, they blindly vote for anyone from that side. Even if they hide in the basement.

[jennyPuss]

It's cope for realizing that if you're a Democrat your vote doesn't, and has never, counted. You've been given the ILLUSION of choice. Republicans can say that they've almost always at least got the candidates of their choosing, even if they didn't win.

[Guacamole409]

She didn’t get a single vote in the last primary. And she didn’t get a single vote in the current primary. The deep State wants her, because unlike Joey, she can still read a Teleprompter.
And her vice president pick, Is probably the most bat shit crazy human on the planet.

[exitseven]

There is a large group of low information voters in this country. In an age where we have access to news 24/7 we have people who get their news from alerts on their cell phones. They know more about the whereabouts of Taylor Swift than they do current events. There are many senior citizens that cannot afford cable and get all their information from the 3 networks. Most have never heard of Hunter's laptop or that Biden was pushed out of office in a coup because the democrats deemed that he could not beat Trump.

These same people have gotten a steady diet that Harris was never in charge of the border and that Biden stepped down for the good of the party.

[JesterRose]

Because if you don’t vote for her you’re a bigot…. Or whatever other nonsense buzzword is typically inserted in these situations.


I’m a libertarian, we get called everything anyway, so I just learned to tune out the static noise and recognize anyone employing those tactics as evil.

[AviatorTom]

I'm not sure there are many who think that Ms Harris will be a good President. Some like the idea that she's a woman, and others just treat her as the lesser of two evils.

[onedarkcloud]

People would vote for her because she is a woman. For no other reason other than that. She has proven that a rock is smarter than her and people will vote for her because she is a woman. Whatever Supreme being there is help save us from Kamalatoe and Tampon Tim.

[Likes2drive]

She let the illegals in for more potential voters for them since they don’t need ID or citizenship to vote it seems, so I guess that was her plan

[Avicenna]

Because they're excited about having a racist Marxist as the next figurehead.

[Iron_Man]

She sucks. I saw her whole speech. I’ve never seen somebody bash Donald Trump like she did a complete evil hater.

[Joshydavid25]

They're basically just going with the flow.. Since Harris is being picked for President, it's like a "might as well" type of situation..

[Awesomesauce2005]

Kamala Harris in her traditional garb 🤣

[ProbablyClueless]

Because they're stupid and the media is gaslighting them hard.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Vice presidents are just figure heads. They really don't do nothing.

[Daniela1982]

Except get a salary.

[gorydetails]

They don{t. Their only thought is oranj man bad

[Jerre]

I totally agree with you
