    Ah the simple minded left. Someone bashes the fake VP or fake president and they can only say tan suit. This was fake as fake. Fake VP, fake president,  fake white house. Everything scripted. Everything staged. Hired actors. The "town hall" was a mess. Every day, every week, this fake dementia president shows how weak the left are. Losing everyday. 
    presidency, senate, house. 

    yeah, so much losing.

    let me know when Biden publicly supports a gang of his supporters trying to hang VP Harris.

    If what the article here say is true and she is being constrained from within the Biden administration, I would find that curios.  What are they afraid of?  Or is it just CNN's take and not true?

    "Many in the vice president's circle fume that she's not being adequately prepared or positioned, and instead is being sidelined. The vice president herself has told several confidants she feels constrained in what she's able to do politically. And those around her remain wary of even hinting at future political ambitions, with Biden's team highly attuned to signs of disloyalty, particularly from the vice president."

    Why can’t we judge anything without comparing it to the last administration?

    Well I think her unpopularity might be the reason Biden might be “confining her” politically. His own ratings are dipping, and he’s smart enough to know more Harris isn’t the cure for that. Not sure what the cure is though.

    You may have heard that the former president is not behaving like any former president we have ever had and is most likely going to run again. At the very minimum he still has a stranglehold over an entire political party. So it is entirely acceptable to continue to talk about Trump and draw comparisons every chance that pops up. As polling has shown Americans have the memory of a door knob. They must be reminded of his awfulness all the time, for all I care.

    I disagree. To be dismissive of that entire article simply because Biden hasn’t come out and said his supporters should hang Harris doesn’t make sense to me. Any negative news about Biden gets met with this same “what about trump” and it’s just weird to me.

    On one hand, we do need to judge what's going on now on its own merits. After all, the idea is to make America great again and you can't do that just by clearing a low bar set by a different polarizing administration.

    On the other hand, Trump is not irrelevant; I'd still say he's the most important person in America. The party still exists in his image and it's in his name and image that they're attempting to do everything they accuse everyone else of doing. At the very least, he's going to rightfully be on our minds at least until we know he's not going to run in 2024.

    Then maybe he should have picked a better VP instead of just picking her because of her gender and race? He should stand by his pick and put her in a better position to succeed imo.

    Hey it had to be a woman! Then George Floyd was killed so it had to be a woman of color! But if I was Joe, I would’ve gone with one that had some popularity with the electorate (Harris was so unpopular she dropped out before Iowa), one that didn’t suggest I’m a racist (“busing” debate fiasco), and didn’t say she believed the woman that was making a baseless sexual assault allegation against me.

    I am not saying you should dismiss the article. I think it's a bit overblown, to be honest.

    But drawing the comparison to the previous guy who is actively trying to destroy the current guy and wants to be the next guy is absolutely fair game.

    Such an insensitive slap in the face. Gee, here's a thought, maybe he thought she was the best person for the job?

    Wow.....just Gender & Race?

    Deputy district attorney in Alameda County (1990-1998)
    Assistant district attorney of San Francisco (1998-2000)
    Family and Children's Services Division representing child abuse and neglect cases (2000-2004)
    District Attorney of San Francisco (2004–2011)
    Attorney General of California (2011–2017)
    U.S. Senate (2017–2021)

    She's more than qualified.

    So what's your issue with Kamala's gender and race?

    I have no issue at all. It means nothing to me. Means more to him, obviously. I’m not saying she’s not qualified to be considered for the job at all. Did I say that? Do you think she was the best choice?

    He doesn’t have an issue with her race and gender. He’s saying that’s why Joe picked her. Maybe if Joe didn’t announce months in advance that his VP pick would be a woman, and then weeks in advance that it would be a woman of color, and he just went ahead and picked her, it wouldn’t seem like race and gender is the main reason he picked her.

    Nice list of qualifications…but she was still unbelievably unpopular with the democratic electorate, which raises questions as to why he would pick her for VP. Klobchar and Warren have similar qualifications, and actually got votes in the democratic primary, but somehow Joe thought the unpopular candidate, that suggested he’s a racist and said she believed the woman that said Joe was a rapist, would be a better pick than them, or any other viable candidates.

    If what the article here say is true and she is being constrained from within the Biden administration, I would find that curios.  What are they afraid of?  Or is it just CNN's take and not true?

    "Many in the vice president's circle fume that she's not being adequately prepared or positioned, and instead is being sidelined. The vice president herself has told several confidants she feels constrained in what she's able to do politically. And those around her remain wary of even hinting at future political ambitions, with Biden's team highly attuned to signs of disloyalty, particularly from the vice president."
    Well I think her unpopularity might be the reason Biden might be “confining her” politically. His own ratings are dipping, and he’s smart enough to know more Harris isn’t the cure for that. Not sure what the cure is though. 
    Then maybe he should have picked a better VP instead of just picking her because of her gender and race? He should stand by his pick and put her in a better position to succeed imo. 
    Such an insensitive slap in the face. Gee, here's a thought, maybe he thought she was the best person for the job?

    Ugh. 2021 and we're still dealing with shit like this? Be better folks. 
    The fact that I even have to explain that comment is just insane to me honestly. But yea.. I’ll be better. Thank you for your advice. 
    Not more insane than you making that comment in the first place in this day and age.
