Biden-Harris 2020<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) has been named as former Vice President Joe Biden’s running mate as he runs for President of the United States from his basement. She is the first black female to feature on a major party’s presidential ticket.<\/p>\n

Harris was a bit of a surprise pick. During the early days of the 2020 election cycle, she ran against Biden (and others) for the Democratic nomination. During that process she challenged Biden on his (how do I say this diplomatically) troubling<\/em> history when it comes to policy around African Americans. She directly attacked him more than once.<\/p>\n

Harris also has her troubling history. As a district attorney in San Francisco and later as California Attorney General she pursued drug cases, allegedly used legal technicalities to keep wrongfully convicted people behind bars, and was actually a centrist on criminal justice positions throughout her tenure at the state and local level. She now has positioned herself as the original progressive prosecutor, but her record doesn’t reflect that.<\/p>\n

She’s been accused of sleeping her way into government positions. Biden, known for swimming in the nude in front of his female Secret Service detail (and likely being one of two sitting US Senators at the time that kept the Senate’s pool male-only well into the 21st Century so they could swim bare-assed), probably was not turned off by that character trait.<\/p>\n

Harris’ lack of charm and authenticity will be a problem if you ask me. The one thing Biden always had was his likeable, pleasant, down to earth demeanor (along with all the casual racism of a guy two generations removed from modern society). Now that he’s slipping from his tenuous grasp on reality, can’t remember who he is, where he is, what office he’s running for, or which woman (correction, human being presently identifying as female) behind him is his wife and which is his sister, he needed to pick a running mate that would tick some boxes. Harris doesn’t tick any of the boxes except black and woman. Which to be honest is all that Biden was looking for.<\/p>\n

Next week Biden might have to announce that when he said “Kamala Harris”, he meant “Karen Bass”, but all those liberal women from California sound and look alike to him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
