    Someday he’ll be in charge…..
    there’s a whole lotta rising stars in the Democratic Party…..thank God! 
    As long as KH wins this year we can look forward to the rising stars but but if he wins it could very well be the last election as we have known them! 
    You’re absolutely correct.  He said so himself and anyone who doesn’t believe he won’t try is being naive.

     A desperate move by Trump to attempt to change the debate to FoxNews instead of ABC by claiming to have a conflict of interest. He agreed to the September 10th debate on ABC in May 2024 https://apnews.com/article/2024-election-presidential-debates-biden-trump-6b1d1dbb2ed61c7637041b23662d7da8 , well after he sued ABC in March 2024 https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/19/media/trump-sues-abc-news-george-stephanopoulos/index.html . Apparently, there was no conflict of interest when the debate was with Biden. Funny how that works.

    OPINION

    Kamala Harris is once-in-a-generation candidate and this is a once-in-a-generation moment for America

    Elections are about the future forecast

    Published August 3, 2024 12:04pm EDT

    Kamala Harris secures enough delegates for presidential nomination

    Fox News senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich has more on who Kamala Harris might choose to join her on the presidential ticket on 'Special Report.'

    From the sidewalks of Oakland to the halls of the White House, Kamala Harris’ story is the stuff dreams are made of…the American Dream. Because where else could the daughter of immigrants rise to the highest office in the land, shattering glass ceilings all along the way? Only in America.

    Of course, she had plenty of examples to show her what was possible. Coming to America from India at only 19-years-old, her mother became a celebrated biologist. Her father had come from Jamaica, studied at UC Berkeley and became a renowned economist and professor at Stanford. So, they raised her not only to see what is and what has been, but to imagine what is possible -- not who we are, but who we can be.

    It worked because she thrived on that possibility. It took her to Vanier College in Montreal, Howard University and the University of California College of Law, San Francisco. It drove her to organize for justice. It helped her prosecute murderers and rapists as the District Attorney’s chief of the Career Criminal Division and eventually become San Francisco’s district attorney herself, then attorney general, U.S. senator and vice president.

    IT'S OFFICIAL: VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS GOES OVER THE TOP AND CLINCHES DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION

    placeholder

    It gave her the moral clarity to fight the big banks who paid for their own misdeeds by foreclosing on working families. It gave her the strength to fight for students and veterans who were taken advantage of by a for-profit education company and it gave her the tools to win bringing rent relief and badly needed resources to low-income communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, to deliver student debt relief to countless American, to help create millions of new jobs and more.

    From campaign calls to rallies to local volunteers knocking on doors on a Saturday morning, folks are getting tuned in all across this nation like we’ve never seen before. It’s unprecedented. It’s historic.

    Now, because it’s her time and her turn, she is zooming through and into history and nobody deserves it more. Yes, we recognize that politics is a contact sport and we know that the attacks will come. In fact, some are coming already.

    But we also recognize that a lot of the folks wearing different jerseys than we are keep running the same old plays of racism, bigotry, misogyny, ignorance and hate. From birtherism 2.0 and dismissing the vice president as a DEI hire, to claiming she "became Black" and purposefully mispronouncing her name, it’s clear that the closer we get to history, the louder and sicker they become.

    2024 CASH DASH: HARRIS LAPS TRUMP IN LATEST FUNDRAISING FIGURES

    That’s OK. She can take it because the contrast is easy to see.

    It’s not just about the prosecutor vs. the felon or even the undeniable truth vs. rapid fire lies. It’s about progress vs extremism. It’s about who we can be.

    placeholder

    Think about the landmark legislation Vice President Harris helped marshal through Congress and into law. Think about all the executive orders to raise wages, fight climate change, protect reproductive freedom and more that she helped make reality. Now compare that to the four years of deprivation and degradation we saw under Donald J. Trump. 

    1 OF THESE 5 DEMOCRATS COULD BE HARRIS' RUNNING MATE

    Of course, elections are about the future forecast. So, compare former President Donald Trump’s all but official endorsement of the plans laid out in Project 2025 to President Harris signing a real bipartisan border security bill into law, protecting a woman’s right to control her own body and make her own health care decisions, extending the child tax credit that cut child poverty in half, building on the more than 15 million jobs she already helped create. 

    placeholder

    Compare Trump’s plan to declare martial law to President Harris strengthening the middle class, growing small businesses, expanding health care, keeping medical debt off your credit report and making sure no one raises taxes on Americans who make less than $400,000 per year.

    While Harris knows that affordable internet is a must not a plus for all Americans, the MAGA Republicans refuse to fund the Affordable Connectivity Program. And while they’re screaming about imagined crises, we’re talking about raising wages, closing the wealth gap, lowering the cost of childcare and making sure getting sick doesn’t mean going broke.

    That’s just a hint of the differences.

    Simply put, Vice President Harris is a once-in-a-generation candidate who has generated more power and energy for this country than Duke Power. It’s been less than a month since she announced her campaign for president and she’s already unifying the Democratic base, expanding our coalition, stretching the map and forcing the Republicans to short circuit.

    In less than two weeks, Vice President Harris has recruited nearly 200,000 volunteers, sparked nationwide grassroots organization, secured the Democratic nomination and raised $310 million, which is twice as much as Trump raised through all of July.

    Vice President Kamala Harris is a once-in-a-generation candidate and this is a once-in-a-generation moment for America. The choice is clear. Will we choose truth or lies? Will we choose hope or hate? Will we choose the future or be doomed to repeat the past?

    Well, like the vice president says, we are not going back.

    I think Pete Buttigieg is one of our best politicians out there.  But that said, what are the chances of a black female/ person of color and gay man being elected president/vice president in the U.S. at this time in history?  I really hesitate to say that could happen.  I really do.

    On the other hand, some criticism of Pete in 2020 focused on whether or not he was "gay enough" -- kind of like "Is Obama Black enough?" I guess. Pete is a veteran and a Midwesterner, and the kind of well-spoken, polite guy older people like, regardless of who his spouse is (meaning, regardless of his sexuality -- I think Chasten is great!). I think it would be foolish of Dems to sideline their most gifted politician over an issue that's going to be a non-issue for anyone remotely inclined to vote for the Democratic ticket. I suspect that the people who wouldn't vote for a gay man already weren't/aren't going to vote for a brown lady.

    Good point and I hope you're right (although, of course, I wish it were not true that anyone would chose not to vote for someone strictly based on the color of someone's skin or their sexual orientation).   
    What concerns me is that I think it's quite possible that there are a sizable number of people in this country who are intelligent and/or well educated, who are not racially biased, yet who are uncomfortable with anyone being gay (let alone other non-heterosexual orientations).  I don't think that's uncommon.  And, should it turn out to be a tight race (quite possible, I'm afraid),  I don't think taking any chance of losing this election is worth the gamble.  It's all on the table this time.  The U.S. is going to go one of two very distinct direction at the end of this year- freedom and democracy, or authoritarian control under an crazy dictator.  I don't mean this to come across as argumentative (you know I think you're great, C!) but I'm not willing to bet even classy, beautiful, brilliant Pete on this one.  Not this time. 
    In any case, of course, we don't get to decide, and whomever Harris chooses, I will be 100% behind them.

    A near complete reversal of fortunes for one Donald J Trump in the span of a couple weeks. Incredible.

    You’re right again but it’s after the fact.  
    MAGA listens to what trump says first, it’s his trademark.  They don’t fact check, they don’t watch different stations or read different articles or correspond on different social media platforms.  What he regurgitates is all they hear.  There’s an old woman around me who’s still waiting for the SC to overturn the election.  Seriously makes you wonder what it is they see in him.  IMO he’s a demonic entity holding his Bible upside down.

    they identify with the anger. at the core level, they blame everyone else for their problems, just like trump does. he's tapped into the worst possible human trait in america. the people who are losers at life but think they are (or should be) a winner.

    I think we have to assume that the MAGAts are unreachable. The idea is to go after the swing voters, the low-information voters, the people who will pay better attention to a snarky response than they will to a sober, measured reaction.
    Fact-checking him in real time is virtually impossible because he lies so often that it's hard to keep up.

    the problem is the lowest information voters are maga voters and fox news viewers. people that do not watch the news or follow current events closely are more informed than maga and fox news viewers. dems are not getting those people.

    like you said, go after the gettable people and don't waste time on maga.

    Magas don't matter. Lost cause. All about the few % in the middle.

    That nonsense yesterday only helped him with magas. No one else. I hope he does one of those every day for the next three months! lol
