5 Things You Need To Know About Kamala Harris
"Harris will embarrass!" might be a good campaign slogan. Not sure why Biden picked someone like this. It's kind of like when McCain picked that nutjob from Alaska. Perhaps the ghost of McCain will visit Biden one of these nights and let Biden know about the mistake he made.
BTW, I noticed that a couple people posted election related videos to the 2016 thread.

JOE BIDEN PICKS KAMALA HARRIS
Is Biden trying to lose or what?
Kammy is 25% black, 25% white, and 50% Indian (as in India located in Asia). Not that all that really matters except that the democrats are trying to pass her off as a black woman.

Democrats Don't Want You to Know This About Kamala Harris
There's a lot about Kamala Harris that the democrats would prefer remain hidden. It's very strange that she was picked as the VP candidate. The comparison to Sarah Palin is almost perfect. Remember how the democrats went after Palin, well Harris is even more vulnerable to criticism.

There's no doubt that their handlers will want to keep the muzzle on both Kammy and Joey. Neither is likely to do themselves any good by speaking in public at this point. Their handlers almost certainly believe that they'll win the election unless they blow it. It might be a mistake to think that way, but it's understandable. Kammy has the ditz factor working against her along with several other issues and Joey can barely get through a sentence without sounding incoherent and senile. The McCain/Palin ticket was doomed from the moment Palin was added to the ticket and Kammy is almost certainly a much bigger liability than was Palin.

Biden Says He Can't Wait To Find Out Who He Picked For VP
Now that he knows, I wonder if he realizes what a disaster she is.

Kamala Harris Says 18-24 Year Olds Are Stupid
18-24 Year Olds: If you vote for Kamala and Joe, you'll prove her right. Show her that she's wrong and vote against her. Whether you vote for Trump or one of the third-party candidates, you'll be making her eat her words.

A friend in Russia shared this quote with me:
Joseph Stalin wrote:The people who cast the votes don't decide an election, the people who count the votes do.
[Неважно, как проголосовали, — важно, как подсчитали.]

There is some dispute about the exact words which Stalin said, but the general meaning remains the same regardless of the exact words. Another version goes like this:
Joseph Stalin wrote:I believe that it does not matter at all who and how will vote in the party; but what is extremely important is who and how will count the votes.
[Я считаю, что совершенно неважно, кто и как будет в партии голосовать; но вот что чрезвычайно важно, это — кто и как будет считать голоса.]

Obviously, it's likely he made similar statements on multiple occasions. Yet another version of the quote goes like this:
Joseph Stalin wrote:“People who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.”
[«Люди, которые голосуют, ничего не решают. Все решают люди, которые считают голоса ».]

Obviously, some of the uncertainty may be due to translations and re-translations back and forth of what Stalin actually said.

BTW, Stalin is also said to have said:
Joseph Stalin wrote:A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.
[Одна смерть - трагедия; миллион смертей - это статистика.]

They probably think that the election is theirs to lose and so they'll be very careful about what they say. It's very doubtful that they'll participate in a debate. But despite an abundance of caution, it may be that picking Kamala as VP candidate might be a mistake which will send their numbers into steady decline. To be fair there weren't many viable VP picks available to Biden, but it would have taken great effort to have done any worse.

Pepsi Calls Tucker Carlson a Racist For Messing Up Kamala Harris' Name
The idiots at CNN and Pepsi have a hissy fit over Tucker Carlson mispronouncing Kamela Harris' name and then it turns out that Joe Biden does the exact same thing. Of course, they don't say anything about that!!!!

Big Tech Are Making Their Final Moves
The fantasy that Russia interfered in the 2016 election was nothing more than a cheap excuse. The fact that big tech is already interfering in the upcoming election is a reality. This might be the most monumental propaganda campaign in history. The final push in October may defy logic and reason and become so bizarre that reality begins to seem like a fantasy.
