2024 ELECTION THREAD

Hilarious to ask that about her and not trump.

Because she's charismatic, smart, well spoken, and displays excellent leadership qualities.

Nobody else threw their hat in the ring that was anywhere close to her in any of those areas.

It's not that complicated.

That's the same thing. Not verbatim != misrepresenting

Let's not whatabout Trump. We know he's garbage.

I don't remember who threw their hat in the VP ring so maybe you're right.

I mean this Wikipedia article starts with DEI right at the top.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Dem...

If you click through it the only ones that 'threw their hat in the ring' were females because that's the only group Biden would select from.

That's the exact definition of a DEI hiring process. Completely sexist against all males who might've sought that position.

in only the republican echo chamber are these even remotely the same quotes...

in only the democrat echo chamber is limiting a pool of applicants to only females not a DEI initiative.

It's you typical screeching battle-cry, whipped up in conservative and alt-right echo-chambers where they continuously throw crap at the wall and runs with whatever sticks.

Reality, facts, reason or just good plain old decency need not apply, because the goal is just one thing: Engagement. If it annoys people, good. If it is false, even better. If it makes people angry, brilliant. If it is hypocritical and easily picked apart, fantastic. Because all that will give you even more engagement. After that, the social media algorithms will take care of the rest and make sure little else is heard.

Which is how contemporary conservatism, hate influencers and social media algorithms combine to make politics very silly, and also how we end up with a GOP presidential candidate who is a walking commercial for parliamentarism who has seemingly dedicated his life to making village idiots look good.

For many it is of course born out of a desire to have something to say. It can't be easy to support Trump if you compare him to someone normal, and it certainly can't be easy if you compare him to someone impressive. And Harris career and record is impressive.

I'll be what-abouting anyone I'd like.

No, it most certainly does not.

You might want to look up the "exact definition of DEI."

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are organizational frameworks which seek to promote the fair treatment and full participation of all people, particularly groups who have historically been underrepresented or subject to discrimination on the basis of identity or disability.

Diversity is inclusionary. Biden described an exclusionary policy. This is *explicitly* contrary to the definition you just cited.

I hope that helps.

Weird echo chamber

No idea what this is referring to.

Your belief that hiring only from a smaller subset of people is better than hiring from the whole.

PA is one of the most corrupt states in the country. I'm sure there will be baggage.

Yeah but obviously no Republican can comprehend something like that so they need Fox to turn it into bite sized nonsense for their brain.

Literally the only things they can understand and communicate are three word slogans.

But her emails

Build that wall

Russia Russia Russia

Locker Room Talk

Even the four word Make America Great Again had to be boiled down to an acronym and was perfect for a hat.

Remember, if it can fit on their heads, it can fit in their heads.

When did I say it was better? And what does you making that up have to do with an echo chamber?

I think the most important qualification, among many, is sound moral judgement. If you hear her cackle while reminiscing about putting parents in jail for the children's truancy and don't know, without a doubt, that she's a terrible person then you aren't qualified to vote.

Aside from her unfortunate psychology, can you not discern that she is not terribly interested in things? She just wants to get some attention at a podium every once in awhile, go have some wine with her girlfriends, take a dump, and go to bed. The country will be run by people you never see whose agendas would burn in sunlight like Nasferatu.

We could find someone in most decent sized office buildings who would be far better qualified to be president, people who actually do things for others, who have common sense, intelligence, and decency. These sort of people would never do what it takes to navigate the system we have. They couldn't. This round you have to be willing to kill any number of innocent children because some fascist state you would have had to pledge your loyalty to doesn't think they were born with the right ethnicity. That is what passes for qualified now, a completely hollowed out soul.

For what it's worth, Kamala very well could've been the pick if a wide net was cast. I'm not saying she wouldn't have been or doesn't deserve to be. But when you only cast a small net your process is tarnished by woke virus.

If it were the same thing you would have provided the full quote. But the full quote didn't comport with the false narrative you wanted to convey so you chopped it up to intentionally misrepresent it instead. That kind of garbage doesn't work around here, sorry.

Sorry for not remembering the full quote off the top of my head.

But I'm glad we're having this discussion, because it resulted in me researching the VP selection process from 4 years ago to find out Biden was only looking at a woman VP.

Confirms both the 'chopped up' version and the full quote.

He would only hire a woman for the job in order to include a historically unrepresented sex for that role.

Maybe Harris was just the best choice to have the most votes in 2020 election ?
Knowing how trump is vs woman ….

Hey guys, should we tell him?

Isn’t that the whole purpose (usually) for vp ?
Seem many talks about that for whom Harris should pick ?
Maximizing votes gain .

Trump didn’t pick Vance for this and it’s going to cost him dearly it seem .
