Political Memes

I read her entire Wikipedia today. Very impressive. In favor of everything she did

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris

She was too good at her job. I think people will care less about it since Biden directed the FDA to reschedule weed as schedule 3.

First test of whether she's actually moved on from her boomer-views of weed will be whether she undoes that.

As I feel the need to say every time I bring this up, I will be voting Kamala Harris in November. I don't see that these criticisms from when she was a VP candidate are any less valid than they were then though.

Closing paragraphs of that article:

I can forgive a politician a vote on a crime bill that looks ill-conceived two decades later, or a too-slow evolution toward marijuana legalization, or even a principled belief in the death penalty, something I adamantly oppose. I find it far harder to forgive fighting to keep a man in jail in the face of strong evidence of innocence, running a team of prosecutors that withholds potentially exculpatory evidence from defense attorneys, and utterly failing as the state’s top prosecutor to rein in glaringly corrupt district attorneys and law enforcement.

At best, Harris displayed a pattern of striking ignorance about scandalous misconduct in hierarchies that she oversaw. And she is now asking the public to place her atop a bigger, more complicated, more powerful hierarchy, where abuses and unaccountable officials would do even more to subvert liberty and justice for all.

Harris is also the one that has been more public about legalizing weed. She was the one that promised it in 2020 and reiterated the promise a few months ago. With six months left, I'm skeptical but it's still in the realm of possibility.

If the Republicans were smart, they'd do it first. Ballot initiatives for Marijuana legalization has driven blue turnout in several states lately. Florida has an initiative on the ballot this year along with abortion. I think FL will be a lot more competitive than people think with the ballot initiatives driving turnout for young people.

Laughing at Venn diagrams, and you want Her as the next President?!

Meanwhile...

XKCD, on point as usual.

Though… probably wouldn’t be the worst president. …

Damn, she got the xkcd endorsement?! What reality am I even in right now

It is only up until 2021 on the bad things trump has done but it is a long list none the less.

Well the problem would be that one could argue the "good" and "bad". It would be better to have a trustworthy factual list of things they've done and base our judgements on that.

But it's pretty hard to create such a list unbiased, if even possible. But I think it would help.

it's like he's ash ketchum but with pedophiles instead of pokemon

7 flights on Epstein's plane.

It's funny how when I raise this with conservatives they squirm and deflect or run away.

Old Sleepy Don falls asleep and farts in court. Harris does not.

If you can produce video of Harris ripping a honker in the middle of closing arguments, I doubt that'll change my vote. Flatulence isn't my biggest concern surrounding a presidential nominee.

Harris is eager to debate and could chew him up and spit him out RIGHT NOW.

It is extremely curious that Don felt comfortable squaring off against Biden on his last legs, but immediately turns down any head-to-head with Kamala. They're not sending their best, folks.

Unfortunately, too many Americans see the Saudi and Russian oligarchs as more aligned with their domestic interests than their next door neighbors.

She knows a guy

That’s how we know she has a JD

I'm continually reminded of that Penn Jillette quote about Trump: "However bad you think he is, he's worse."

I think you mixed up your sides after the first sentence.

I don’t think there are “ee”s in the p-tape?

Oh man. Set up a laugh track for a Trump speech with Harris' laugh? I would pay to watch that.

I don't actually know that her laugh sounds like and I'm too afraid to look it up because I'm afraid Google or YouTube will start serving me right wing lunatic content if I do. But people keep talking about her laugh and it's got me curious.
