Serious question: Does anyone think Kamala Harris can actually win? Seems very unlikely to me...

2 Corinthians 3:17 :

"Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."

If you can't understand why he would reference that at a speech at Liberty University you're too dumb to be voting.

I didn’t mean to suggest that invoking Liberty is wrong in that context. Rather, after sounding like an addled 14-year-old who hadn’t read the book when talking about the Bible before, he needed to be prepped by his staff to have a good answer. They came up with one for him, and that’s how he delivered it.

Do you have the bible memorized?

Do you think Biden or Kamala have any idea what the bible says?

She didn't even sniff .2%.

Based on the manic posting of the usual right wing nut jobs here about her, creating tons of threads, I’d say she has a chance. Probably a better chance than the infamous Doritos bag indicating a red wave.

First one: Obvious blunder. I would never suggest that she’s brilliant or a gifted public speaker, just that she’s better than Trump.

Second one: The speechwriter took a swing at “lofty and poetic” and whiffed, but not as badly as you sometimes see/hear.

Bad use of repetition in the first sentence just gets muddled and is barely better than some kind of overwrought dreck like “effected change across the ages.” The second sentence is similarly weak, but it’s not nonsense at least. They saw what was possible, “what could be.” And they were no longer constrained by what women had faced in the past; they were able to do this “unburdened by what had been.” You can picture that almost working (if not quite) coming from a speaker similar in skill to Obama, even though he’d have to be careful about his idiosyncratic pause/emphasis patterns.

But perhaps if you were in Harris’ place reviewing the speech during the car ride to the event, you would’ve scoffed, “no way I’m saying that.”

She is pushing 60.

In a few years she will be eligible for Medicare, which she helped Biden beat into the ground.

Since we are discussing Bible verses, I will share my favorite:

Genesis 3:15 - "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."

Based on how brainwashed you’ve been on COVID and the vaxx, I’d be shocked to hear anything else from you. I now consider Trump a lock. Next, please provide some investment advice so I can take the opposite trade.

Would you call 2 Corinthian a. Second Corinthian or b. Two Corinthian?

I’ve never called it my favorite book, and the first remark by Trump was a reply to a follow-up that was asked after he had called the Bible his favorite book.

Moreover, this isn’t about me, but it’s entirely possible that I clear the low bar of having greater command of facts and being more articulate than Trump.

The key point is that if we were to list the 50 best and 50 worst moments of Trump and Harris speaking, I’m very confident that Harris would strongly appear to be the one more strongly in command of facts, the English language, and general thinking capacity (again, it’s nice to have a low bar to clear).

And nice try on moving the goal posts to insinuating that one must have the whole thing or even substantial parts of it memorized.

For answer one, he just needed enough detail to explain, not necessarily anything verbatim. For the second, he had a prepared speech, time to prepare, and a script

I don’t see how Democrats can be described as having a disdain problem when Trump is the candidate who literally incited violence at the Capitol. His rallies are all about fanning the flames of hatred towards those he considers his enemies. His followers are obsessed with “owning the libs” and openly talk about a civil war. A member of his own party, Nikki Haley, requested Secret Service protection because she was getting threats from Trump’s followers for challenging him in the primary.

American politics have become a lot meaner and angrier since Trump entered the scene in 2016. Trump’s own rhetoric has become increasingly caustic, which is saying something. If anyone has a disdain problem, it’s Trump.

It’s also weird to liken Trump to Happy Gilmore when he very clearly has much more in common with Shooter McGavin.

I doubt it. When she ran to be the democrat nominee 4 years ago, she was one of the least popular candidates and exited fairly quickly.

I doubt they have much faith in her but they have no choice. Sleepy Joe was getting destroyed by his own press and party, but evidently the Democrats will take a lucid but low IQ candidate over someone who forgets where the bathroom is.

Expect a lot of the "first woman President" nonsense to be trotted out repeatedly over the next 4 months, and expect any legitimate criticism of her to be batted away with accusations of racism and sexism.

That's the beauty of taking an interest in politics over the last 10 years. You can see through the BS.

Harris gave a tremendous speech today! She destroyed Trump. He is in trouble.

^^^^^^

The fvcked up and perverse irony is that this mentality expressed above, which Harris has expressed more than her fair share of times, is the primary reason why she will likely lose to Trump. If we could get people like 45877 and Harris to just STFU about their claims of racism for the next 5 months, we would have a much greater chance of defeating Trump (which should be the ultimate goal for every sane person).

This from an administration that cancelled community for at least two years.

"We invested an additional $12 billion into community banks, because we know community banks are in the community, and understand the needs and desires of that community as well as the talent and capacity of community." - Kamala Harris
