102. I don't have to tell myself anything. It's on video. Where were you in 2020?!

And what ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT that Kamsla had "no accomplishments." Do you regularly repeat right wing talking points?

As Vice President, she had numerous accomplishments ranging from gun violence reduction efforts, maternal health advancements, to addressing the cause of Latin American migration to our borders. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/07/26/kamala-harris-vice-president-accomplishments/74534954007/

And of course, before that, she was an accomplished Senator, and before that, CA Attorney General, who managed to win billions in restitution for the residents of California cheated by unscrupulous mortgage lenders and for profit colleges.

I think he has a lot of the same weaknesses as Harris. I'd prefer someone like Whitmer, Shapiro, or Fetterman tritsofme Nov 13 #8

I really like Whitmer. SunSeeker Nov 13 #9

One thing ill give him is he is very rhetorically gifted ColinC Nov 13 #13

So which Dem could win? SunSeeker Nov 13 #17

I don't buy that for a second. Whitmer is just a better candidate, by leaps and bounds. tritsofme Nov 13 #21

We rejected a white woman in '16 and a WOC in '24. Millions voted down ballot and left the top blank. PortTack Nov 13 #54

And every other year we didn't win, it was a white man who was rejected. tritsofme Nov 13 #61

I'm not sure about that. LogDog75 Nov 13 #62

Their candidate will be JD Vance. subterranean Monday #107

Whitmer is out Bettie Nov 13 #19

Nah, I reject this line of thinking. Harris was a poor candidate in a tough cycle. tritsofme Nov 13 #22

As a Californian, I'm grateful Newsom has been our Governor, but he's not the candidate for President following TSF msfiddlestix Nov 13 #23

I don't believe it was rigged. Elessar Zappa Nov 13 #46

Right. Several days ago I read a data point that indicated 40% of Ca voters, voted for TSF msfiddlestix Nov 13 #63
