Do you really think Joe actually picked Harris? I'm not sure Senator Biden even knows he's running for president.

Someone compared her on another thread to Sarah Palin, McCain's lightweight VP candidate. It was an apt comparison. Harris doesn't have the experience. And her background with #metoo will make her unattractive and even shrill. If Harris runs in 2024 she won't make it through the early primaries.

The GOP pushed him to choose a women to counterbalance running against a POC hoping it would appeal to women and neutralize Obama’s edge as a historic black candidate.

because
she's mixed race. F.Y.I., usually, people mixed with more than one nonwhite race tend to be very attractive and look white, at least sometimes.

I realized something this morning:
KAMALA HARRIS anagrams to SARAH MALARKI and there is some meaning to that name. Kamala is not a real VP candidate as was Sarah Palin. She's a joke. Sarah in Hebrew can be translated "senate princess" and Joe can tell you about malarkey. Actually it derives from the Greek μαλακία (malakía, “masturbation; (figuratively) idiocy, stupidity; bullshit, nonsense”)

I love anagrams … especially those rare meaningful ones. Here's one I found recently anagramming one of the least popular Seinfeld episodes:

It could end up being one of the biggest political blunders of all time. Sarah Palin was a bad pick, but McCain wasn't going to win anyway. Tim Kaine was a bad pick by not bringing in any votes, but he didn't lose any either. Kamala Harris does hurt. She has generated no enthusiasm and record is already being used against her. There was no good reason to pick her.

I don't know.
First of all, I doubt "he" picked her; his handlers in the DNC did that. Secondly, I think Warren would've been a better choice to shore up the progressive vote but Kamala is a blank slate politically and that can work to her advantage (she can pretend to be a progressive or she can pretend to be a moderate, she demonstrated this during the primary debates). Thirdly, the country is so divided and the anti-Trumpers are so determined to bring down the President that they'd vote for anyone other than Trump at this point.
That said, under any other circumstances and in relatively "normal" times, a Biden candidacy - let alone a Biden-Harris ticket - would be next to unthinkable. Biden is a two time loser already having run ineffective presidential campaigns in '88 and '08; he's also a known plagiarist and compulsive liar on top of being an embarrassing gaffe-machine. Harris wasn't a popular candidate in the 2020 primaries, having to drop out before the Iowa caucus and polling at around 2% tops. Dems are definitely taking a chance by running these two mediocrities; I think their obsessive hatred for Trump has caused them to take leave of their senses. -

Yes, but Joe's biggest problem is his right-wing voting record.
I haven't voted in 12 years and don't think I'll ever vote again, despite working in politics.
