Haven't seen the debate or read too much about most of the candidates but in terms of policy isn't Kamala Harris more or less the black Hilary?

Let's hope she doesn't win the nomination then

It's just the impression I formed from stuff I have read about her over the last two or three years. Don't ask for sources, when I read about US politics it is from a distance and I didn't know I was going to be tested on it in the future, nor that Kamala Harris was going to run for the democratic nomination. |

Same as T&B, just an impression. Seems to me like she's more fuelled by personal ambition than any real interest in the causes she professes to champion. True of all big name politicians to a degree it just seems like there's little else when it comes to K & H.

As arbitrary as her switch from 'tough-on-crime' prosecutor to 'progressive' candidate.

you forgot to mention she's black. If you're gonna dismiss me as a sexist you may as well go the whole hog and throw racist in there too.

e.g., you and i like “that lovable rascal” luis suárez, who is so often blinded by his own ambition he’ll do anything to win. sure, he is flawed, but we forgive him, and enjoy his play. what talent! and what hunger. i’m not sure harris has bitten anyone, haa haaa haaa, not yet anyway. and she’s got talent. i’m willing to forgive some mistakes (anyone who does anything makes them) actually i’m willing to forgive most mistakes in whoever ends up getting the democratic nomination. i’d even support that kooky lady in that field. |

See, this to me is where it starts to read like Trump Derangement Syndrome. I get that you really don't like Trump, but your economy isn't doing bad, employment is up, I imagine your life hasn't changed that considerably since his appointment. I get that you think there are people who could do things better. I'd agree with you. But seriously, Marianne Williamson? |

the truancy business seems terrible— i just read about it in that article i linked above. but i dont have all the details yet to make a judgment—im actually moving house today so not 100% devoted to the analysis. my guess however is if she moves up in the polls we’ll have a chance to look into her background a lot more. principles in politics are all well and good but without the ability to execute you have nothing. and we have a congress.. i’ll take half a democratic agenda over 4 more years of trump followed by 4 of pence as they dismantle obamacare and give carte blanche to predatory insurance plans, continue to ignore climate change, and give their rich pals even more tax cuts and privileges. we’ll have this discussion ad infinitum, i know. |
