You could have Barr chasing his own tail all day. Just send out news that indictments were coming for Trump family members, and associates, and let him waste his time chasing those down around town, then hit him with the real thing. He is such a predictable stooge.

Would EVERYONE in the press ask this motherfucker: “You do understand anyone born in 1964 in Oakland, Calif is a American citizen right?” followed by: “If you are saying Senator Harris was not born in 1964 in Oakland, Calif then it is up to you to proof it or shut the fuck up” 

“...my lack of enthusiasm was the only thing strange around here...”

if people disagree with Senator Harris based on her policy choices and political ideas, let it be at that level. (But dammit, when it comes to actually voting, do you still want 45 enduring? Yeesh.) But The racial dragging of her that certain folks want to do, based on her being “half-Indian, half Jamaican” and thus “…

Best comment, thank you. Some people want to get excited. Some people are ambivalent. But also, how you personally feel about it is not really that relevant or interesting.

What I legitimately do not get is that nearly all of the criticisms of Kamala Harris are based on her past as a prosecutor and all of the concerns, critiques, memes, rage-Tweets and so on are based on that history (which was mixed, she did some bad things and some good things as well), but the Biden/Harris criminal…

That majority of us have been staring at mayo choices our whole life; not everyone is going to be a memorable choice (and given that memorable cuts both ways, I’m ok with that).

Engaging in the democratic process is a civic duty. Instead of expecting it to be some fun, fulfilling experience, and then feeling let down, let it simply be doing what good you can for your community with the tools you have.

Exactly. Politics is a job. It’s great when an inspiring candidate comes along that grabs the public’s imagination. But even they get stuck doing the job.

I think one piece of the problem is hoping to feel excited or inspired by politics on an ongoing basis. It’s fantastic that as a first time voter you felt so inspired, but maybe that was more about the first time than the vote, know what I mean? Do you feel inspired by upholding your other civic responsibilities? Get…

I think people don't realize that the electoral college doesn't weigh "excitement" in their decision.

I am not in a bad mood and this annoyed me as well. This is not the time to look for the absolutely perfect candidate. This is near-literal do or die time. 

Respect your right to speak your truth. But you will find for a lot of black women like me it is all pride. No ambivalence or mixed feelings here. The problem with articles like this is with your platform this is amplified like it is the general feeling. Meanwhile my friends and I are bingeing on the joy of this…

I like this comment. Why does Kamala have to be perfect for this to be inspiring? She is far from perfect, which puts her in the company of exactly every politician ever. Still something to cheer. 

I feel like we’re going to be reading versions of this word salad regularly between now and election day.

I am so tired of these stupid purity tests that are specifically targeted at women candidates. If you want Trump and friends to kill more Americans, then just say it alrrady. 

There are no perfect candidates, just like there are no perfect people. Sen. Harris is a brilliant, accomplished woman of color. Her selection is an acknowledgement of the importance of Black Women to the Democratic party and to this country. Let’s rejoice! Don’t let the trolls get you down.

I’m sorry. Maybe I’m in a bad mood (in fact I know I am), but what even is this about? I don’t understand how, as a Black woman, you can’t be completely excited about her nomination. I am a Black millennial who cried actual tears (!) when I voted for Obama in 2009 because I never thought I would see a viable, Black…

On one hand, this is the responsible thing to do (but suspect it was more because it would be another disaster with low attendance then any actual thought to people getting sick). On the other hand, that sad walk of shame from the helo after the Tulsa rally was a bit of sunshine in a shitty 2020.

I hope more athletes take the Tobias Harris approach & limited the press conference to injustice, inequality & intolerance.
