Kamala Harris is Joe Biden's Vice Presidential running mate

[kickz]

I cannot fathom being excited for her considering her awful record as California's AG. Just did everything in her power to punish the poor and protect corrupt trash like Steve Mnuchin. It's going to be sickening watching people pretend this person was a champion of righteous causes when she's been anything but.

Her and Biden are still better than Trump, but God this is bleak.

Alright let's take that orange clown DOWN!

 

[Nightwing123]

Obvious pick but a good choice overall.

 

[Deleted member 26039]

Correct pick.

"Battle for the Soul of the Nation" sounds like a 90s wrestling promo to me.

 

[cinch]

Oh shiitt i've got goosebumps

 

[Royalan]

LET'S GO!!!

 

[BigSkinny0310]

The layup choice, no reason to throw a wrench in things. Love Harris too

 

[Tawpgun]

Left twitter is freaking out on all sides of the spectrum

She's literally eating Pence!

Why is it that for decades the left has to accomodate the needs of the moderats but not vice versa?

Click to shrink...

Because the moderates are running the show whether you like it or not.

 

[BFIB]

I hope Pence can control his urges when debating Harris.

 

[Volimar]

Why does the idea of having to appeal to the other side of the spectrum only apply to the left? When it was looking like Bernie was gonna win the nomination everybody expected and wanted him to pick a moderate running mate. Him picking an equally left VP would have been met with incredible criticism, this forum included.

Is your argument here that Harris is a moderate?

 

[The Albatross]

Great choice.

Shoulda made my bet

 

[Helix]

this was supposed to be a Taka thread.

 

[Kthulhu]

This is who everyone wanted right?

Click to shrink...

She was the best option out of who Biden would have realistically picked given his criteria.

 

[ExtremelyBitter]

Alright. Super looking forward to Harris tearing Pence apart.

 

[painey]

Ugh.. but congrats to the future 1st female President!

 

[-Le Monde-]

I love it.

 

[Servbot24]

Solid choice that is an overall positive for defeating Trump. That's all I need right now.

 

[Chrome Hyena]

Pence probably is passed out in Mother's arms right now. She's gonna tear his ass up.

 

[GamerJM]

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

Probably, but it is absolutely impossible for me to say at this juncture. I'm certainly not inspired to, and a depressive episode at the wrong time could absolutely make the decision for me when it comes down to it.

All I hear is "I won't be affected regardless of who wins."

 

[schuelma]

I am glad Biden did not try to get cute and clever. Sometimes the obvious choice is in fact the best choice.

 

[Deleted member 3017]

Will Pence's wife have to give him permission to debate her?

Click to shrink...

There won't be an audience, so probably not.

 

[Random Painted Highway]

So pleased. Phew.

 

[Marvie]

Can't wait to watch Pence get torched in the VP debate

 

[Huncho_Houdini]

I would however like to remind people that was rightfully roasted during debates for her record as AG. She may want to have a better defense lined up this time, especially in the current climate.

 

[Kamek]

She is going to fucking destroy Pence worse than Biden did Ryan.

It's the right choice. We need to win at all costs and she is the most marketable VP candidate.

 

[VorpalNonsense]

It is no longer Klobberin' time :(

Alright then, now let's get the orange turd out of office.

I literally can't wait for the Harris/Pence debate... it's gonna be AMAZING

The only question is how subtle.

Trump is the President lol.

Shocking!

in all seriousness, I am more excited for this than I expected

Do you know anything about them.

 

[androvsky]

For us un-educated non-americans, what is a running mate?

Click to shrink...

Basically, the person selected to run as vice-president along with the presidential candidate. If they're elected, and something happens to the ancient person who is president, the vice president becomes president. It's extra important as Biden plans on only serving one term, so if they win, Harris is the default candidate in 2024.

 

[ChippyTurtle]

It's morbidly hilarious to me that the majority of you Americans decided that after trump, you want a status quo democrat, and their vp to be "top cop" Harris. It's ironic

Click to shrink...

after trump?

fucker is still shitting on the floor. fear of trump probably helped Biden win the primary.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Is this good? I'm not from the USA and I don't know the most recent news

 

[Sean C.]

A whole lot of side-journeys on the way to making the obvious choice.

And it was the obvious choice for a reason, she ticks all the important boxes.

i see you sneaking in a relitigation of the primary

Lets hope we all get the job done in November!

 

[Rodan]

Go-HAM-ala! Let's do this!!!

 

[syndicalist]

Good for her, but I don't understand the hype. A California liberal appeals to nobody but the already established based.

 

[Servbot24]

No thanks. To both.

Your alternative is Trump. Period.

 

[Soundscream]

Mya Rudolph gonna eat.

 

[eathdemon]

honestly who else was their? I get era leans hard left, but the general electorate doesn't.

 

[Yesterday]

Now I can vote for him due to the possibility that he'll step down

He kind of pigeonholed himself into only having a few choices. I think she's a complete charlatan who will lose against any given Republican challenger in 2024, but the only other choices would (also) be pulling useful congresswomen out of office to essentially do nothing for four years.
