The, let's call it, 'rhetoric' of Kamala Harris is reminiscent of a stupid Dadaist. The left is trying to decontextualize and confuse everything that still provides a shadow of tradition and meaning. We are experiencing the cacophony of socialism anew, unstoppable, unburdened by the reality of our existence, which is fed by traditional empirical knowledge, reaching out into the madness of its functional parasite caste. We may not experience the rhetorical Nagasaki, a duel with Donald Trump. But the waterbording with words by Harris continues on decontextualized video snippets on 'X'. This will be hard enough for a normally set up brain to digest.
this territory is moderated
It'd be a cacophony and dadaism on show from both of them. But Trump will be louder!

I'm sitting here with my morning coffee and just wonder, how da heck did we get here. We have two presidential candidates that suppose to be smart, educated, experienced, well balanced and decent enough to run the country and represent what the country stands for (not a small feat), yet we have an option of an babbling idiot (but hey she a female) and ego-centric (yet somehow patriotic) old man with issues. If that's the best we can produce then I need to buy/build that cabin in the woods pronto...lol

Her credentials are weak when you factor in affirmative action.
Colleges and law schools have very low standards for black women in America and she could not meet them.

Cabin in the woods sounds wonderful

It’s by design

That's some high-calibre wording right there, and yes, better to avoid the shit-show altogether.

Word salading
Trump is winning currently
reply
They no longer know the nonsense to say to try to win votes and have any chance against Trump.

We are experiencing the cacophony of socialism anew
Please tell me how Kamala Harris is socialist.
She for sure isn't deregulating anything or reducing the welfare state. But socialist? Sounds like inflationary use of words until they have lost all meaning.
reply
Her commitment to the green new deal is socialist… but that’s not to say she the problem… the problem is the money printer that allows funding of the govt programs at the mostly hidden expense of the users of the currency. That is socialism and it is not working.
reply
She's a Marxist.
reply
Have you looked at her record and her rhetoric?
If not socialist, what would you call it? Serious question
She spent most of her adult life in San Francisco, the most left wing city in a left wing state. She didn’t win her senate seat in 2016 by using moderate rhetoric.
She has disavowed all of her previous statements and positions on fracking to gun control to illegal immigration and we are supposed to believe her? If you believe the new Kamala you will believe anything
Does she support gun rights? No
Does she want to expand the Supreme Court? Yes
Does she support the green new deal? Yes
Does she support Medicare for all? Yes
reply
Is Kamala a socialist based on her record?
See my reply above
@zuspotirko says socialist policies are not evidence of socialism or socialist politicians
reply
Politicians with socialist thoughts, ideas and actions are socialist. It's a simple equation.
reply
The best trick socialists mastered is to barf and yet be called a horse. Disregard anything a politician say, and focus only on what he does. If Kamala has been responsible for socialist measures, either directly or indirectly, then she's a socialist.
She for sure isn't deregulating anything or reducing the welfare state.
That's the text book definition of being a socialist @zuspotirko, there's no discussion there. You can freely state that you like socialism, but you can't barf and ask us to call you a horse.

Kamala Harris defining equity: "It means everyone ends up in the same place"

reply
That's a hell worse than I thought it was. She's jumping straight into communism. If she gets into office, all conditions are given for a civil war outbreak.
reply
And yet some SN users insist she is not a socialist.
Reminds me of the hatred for Blockstream and TapRoot and Liquid, etc
But this is more serious and dangerous than hatred of TapRoot, etc
reply
This is wholly serious. Blockstream and Taproot are subjected to the free market at the end of the day, where the client is always right, for he can not subject others to his own taste. Governance being about coercion, those people that so lightly blandish their disregard, as a superior moral stance even, are sworn executors of freedom and peace. But they are not your problem now. They will not reverse, for the socialist mindset is all about the fatal conceit. Your problem is the youth, which is flexible and can re-adapt easily, yet still lack a mainstream social movement other that socialism. There's still no serious competition, we can see that from here. Elon aside, socialists are largely uncontested in the USA, and that's a factor that can make the problem last for generations to come.
You can be strongly opposed to her policies and simultaneously acknowledge that she isn't socialist. Yes, you can both simultaneously.
No private enterprise will change hands into public ownership I can guarantee you that
reply
Only because conservatives in the Senate will block her socialist agenda
She co-sponsored Medicare for all. That is a proposal to eliminate private health insurance
No you can’t! You cannot oppose her policies and defend her from the socialist label.
Kamala works for the enemy.
What’s next? Venezuela is not socialist. USSR was not socialist? Marx was not a socialist?
Kamala has X chromosomes but she is not a woman!
reply
The typical phrase was missing: "that is not true socialism"
reply
unfortunately, it is always very difficult to assess the impact of politics. i know this from the Ukraine war, where people are still running around here who seriously believe that they would win against Russia. it is unbelievable how much some people mill themselves into their own dream world
reply
Exactly
reply
You can be strongly opposed to her policies and simultaneously acknowledge that she isn't socialist. Yes, you can both simultaneously.
But she is a socialist… per her campaign commercial I just watched she claimed to have fought drug companies to cap prices on drugs. Government price controls are a pillar of socialism/communism.
reply
But she is not a socialist. After all a guy from Detroit said so
reply
but you do understand that ever increasing taxes are a form of expropriation as they divert more and more resources into the hands of the state? and the whole climate legislation regulation to use private property are classic means of socialism?
reply
You built a real strawman up there in your head buddy. That's really far fetched from her actual policies.
I will admit I was wrong if she nominates Sanders or AOC as her running mate. But until that day try to relax a little
reply
Her senate record was just as radical as Bernie.
In fact her voting record was deemed more radical than Bernie.
reply
Believe me: I am more than relaxed. In the end You have got to deal with this moron of a commie. I am fine with Your mental gymnastics.
reply
Well she is from San Francisco. That in itself means. She isn't a right winger.
reply
I want to see the debate so bad, but don't want time limits. The american people need to see how her words carry no substance! Crazy to see she is winning in the betting markets, which are rarely ever wrong.
reply
Well, is it to her interest to have a debate at this time? Or does it help trump more? These are all very calculated moves.
reply
This moron should never open her mouth
reply
They are all morons. They are politicians, every time they open their mouth lies are being spewed.

But she really is sth special
reply
Well, trump is also his own brand of stupid.
reply
I don't think the Dems are socialist at all. They're the worst kind of opportunist capitalists. My favorite part is how the TV is doubling down on the constant nonsense that she is popular. She won zero delegates when she ran for pres. She has nothing, she brings nothing, and I'm not convinced she'll be their nominee. Meanwhile, every single thing they literally shoot at Trump backfires and makes him stronger. It's unreal. The silly kids that lured him to Chicago under false pretenses? Are you kidding? How embarrassing for them.
reply
Democrats are definitely socialist. And yes they are political opportunists.
Socialists can’t be opportunists? Let’s not be naive because we get tripped up by our own semantics
reply
Show me, please, where the Dems did anything, even the smallest step, toward free market capitalism. The green agenda is pure socialism
reply
You are arguing against a point that I'm not even making. I said they are opportunist capitalists. They sell themselves out to the highest bidders. They are whores, and the Republicans are jealous.
BTW, The green sh*t is no less socialism than the current fossil fuel configuration, big pharma, agriculture, airlines mfrs, or any of the other major industries. So whatever with all of that semantic nonsense.
reply
The green stuff is socialism because it requires more government spending and control and elimination of certain industries.
The airplane and automobile did not rely on mandates such as banning horses as a mode of transport
reply
again. you are arguing against points i am not making. the auto industry DID demand mandates against alchohol aand other fuels, and hemp as a body material. some of henry ford's first cars were alcohol fueled with hemp body material.he wanted there to be many choices, but the fossil and steel industries twisted his and the govt. arms. the auto industry has demanded many many regulations over the years. just a lttle bit of research can help you understand this. go ahead, argue with a detroiter. do that. this will be fun.
reply
You are from Michigan?
No wonder you believe the myth that Democrats are not socialist. You are still stuck in 1964. Like too many voters in Michigan your views are anachronistic
reply
You said the green stuff is no less socialism. Your statement is incorrect.
Making hemp illegal is less serious than making gas illegal
Edit: you still live in Detroit? Seek inspiration from Barry Gordy and Motown records
reply
Let's leave it at this point - I see it all a little differently
reply
Ok, so some socialism and regulation is less serious that other socialism. you expose yourself as having no argument, and you use ad hominem remarks. you can stop bothering me now.
reply
Kamala is afraid of the dogs!
