Open Thread | The Task Ahead for the Vice President

This just got me in my feels. A Black woman defending democracy. A Black woman trying to save democracy in America.

It’s crazy, but, Vice President Kamala Harris running like this is peak Black woman in America.
I should have known better.
I think we all anticipated Kamala getting 4 more years, and then running in 2028. We were ready for the free for all in 2028 in the Democratic Party.
That it’s happening this way, is so profoundly Black woman in America, I can’t even get past it.
I look at Black folks, and we are all just looking at one another, understanding the task…understanding the odds, and we’re all like..phuck it….let’s do this…
We are digging deep, to save democracy in America.
It’s who we are. The ones originally designated 3/5 of a human being…
Out here trying to save this country.
That’s who we are.

Important

There are only 3 groups raising money directly for the Harris campaign:

Harris for President
Harris Victory Fund
Harris Action Fund

If you are giving to anyone else, please do your homework.

They could be siphoning money away from the campaign.

This picture just gives me chills. To think that Kamala Harris was in the crowd in Springfield, Illinois, on that cold day in 2007, when Barack Obama Announced his run for the Presidency.

    Look. It’s obvious what happened here. Trump held a meeting on how to make it look like he has nothing to do with his own Project 2025 because it’s wildly unpopular, and they decided to ask the main guy to step down and take credit for it. Then they agreed they should threaten anyone who continues to associate him with his own Project 2025. 

    Trump IS Project 2025. Vance wrote the foreword. Publicity stunts like this don’t fool anyone.

    But since Donald Trump refused to accept the outcome of the 2020 election, Republicans have yet to course correct. The Republican Party with Trump at its helm continues down the path of political extremism, away from focusing on our fundamental freedoms…

    In the spirit of the late Sen. John McCain’s motto, “Country First,” I call on other Arizona Republicans to join me in choosing country over party this election and to vote against Donald Trump.”

    Trump may be one of the most anti-worker presidents of all time.

    -Loaded the NLRB with anti-union hacks
    -Cut OT pay for 8 million workers
    -Gutted workplace safety rules
    -Made it harder for gig workers to get benefits

    Don’t buy the MAGA rebrand. Actions speak louder than words.

    It would likely have been the complete opposite had he waited even 18-24 hours.

    The Sunday shows would have eaten Biden/Harris alive, and they would have had an entire week to both consume them and also try to drive Harris off the ticket as well.
