Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) posted at 2:00 PM on Wed, Nov 20, 2019:
I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one.
I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one.
I held big banks accountable. He’s owned by them.

I’m not just prepared to take on Trump, I’m prepared to beat him. https://t.co/bg4xZ4uLne

    In case anyone is wondering if the two New York Times reporters bylined on this piece blaming Kamala Harris for Donald Trump’s racist attacks on her are both white: Yes, yes they are.

    Trump is broke and shook. That’s why he ran down to the FEC to block Harris from getting that money. He also says Biden isn’t entitled to the money either.

    Remember, Trump has been whining he’s owed a reimbursement from Biden for paying for anti-Biden ads.

    Trump is SHOOK!

    Netanyahu’s publicity stunt visit to the US has been a debacle. No US official met him at the airport. A meeting with President Biden was postponed. Vice President Kamala Harris won’t preside over his address to Congress. And many will boycott his speech.

    Media guys are pissed that they bullied Biden out but were not able to bully their preferred white moderate candidate to the top of the ticket. Instead it’s this black lady that all the kids are doing inscrutable memes about. It’s out of their control & they resent it terribly.

    A moving essay by NY-17’s own @HillaryClinton:

    “History has its eye on us. President Biden’s decision to end his campaign was as pure an act of patriotism as I have seen in my lifetime. It should also be a call to action to the rest of us to continue his fight for the soul of our nation. The next 15 weeks will be like nothing this country has ever experienced politically, but have no doubt: This is a race Democrats can and must win.” nytimes.com/2024/07/23/opi…

    I’d like to point out, the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers endorsed Josh Shapiro in 2022, *knowing* he had school vouchers in his platform. Hating Shapiro for that reason is an extremely online thing. In the real world, even teachers unions didn’t see it as a dealbreaker.

    Black voters are the most pragmatic voting bloc. We’re interested in who has the best chance to mitigate white harm.
