The Headlines Write Themselves

 It's right there for you:

When you use Urban Dictionary as a style guide

There's a lot more to say about Harris -- her cynicism, her willingness to say damn near anything to get elected, her lazy campaigning -- and we will amplify that as the campaign rolls on. But truth be told, the choice of Harris is puzzling. She doesn't really give Biden what he needs electorally, because California is already in the bag. She's not popular with the various minorities she supposedly represents. She had myriad advantages when she began her campaign, but she pissed all of them away. All you have to do is roll the Tulsi Gabbard critiques to eviscerate Harris's record. 

I don't suppose Biden had any better choice -- if he'd nominated Susan Rice, it would have guaranteed an indictment. He couldn't pick Stacey Abrams, or Karen Bass, or Val Demings. He ruled out anyone with Y chromosomes months ago. 

We'll see what happens, but on balance I think having Harris on the ticket does not help the Democrats in any way.

Proof that this is Obama's third campaign for president. Harris was his personal choice in the beginning, but she was unable to deliver in the primary. No surprise it came down to her or Rice, both his girls. I wonder if they told Biden yet?

If you thought using the weapons of govt for political means was bad under Obama, you ain't seen nothing with Harris behind the levers. Obama was just a trial run to see what could be gotten away with.

Didn't Joe tell Kamala, "You ain't black" during one of the debates?

why do you think Rice would be indicted? Barr has had plenty of time, and solid evidence, and has yet to indict anybody for anything... unlike Meuller who fed the press on a regular basis, and indicted/destroyed targets at will.

thats right, Barr is a Bush Republican. Lose with honor. Just make sure you lose...

I don’t think it would have happened per se, but I think the threat of it would have made Team Biden think twice.
