GhostBox Posted July 11 Posted July 11 (edited) I love Tammy Duckworth. Honestly she would be a great candidate for President. Edited July 11 by GhostBox
Vermillion Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Well now we're to the inevitably awkward, non-PC conversation I knew was coming on Biden feeling like he "owed" black women after South Carolina. Which gets all the more awkward after two years of Kamala's own still current staffers trashing her anonymously to Politico as having no input on speeches and never reading security briefs I don't think it was a strategy to box in Bernie who was sparring with Liz but that happened to come as an added benefit in an effort to already try to appease the base. Which makes @ClashAndBurn's comments about revenge that much more ironic. Give the public the illusion he's elevating her to make up for…Anita Hill?????….when in reality he wanted to box KAMALA in with an absurd issue portfolio. So now she's improved, had her team disagree anonymously to the press on Gaza, and (if this actually happens and she somehow succeeds on the follow through), gets her revenge. 1

I don't feel that Kamala has unseen political savvy that is being obscured by her impossible portfolio not allowing her to shine. In the contrary, I think that she had obvious weaknesses, and putting her, a California Democrat to his left on immigration, in charge of the border… highlights her flaws to make her less appealing to the xenophobic anti-immigration median voter than she already was, ensuring there was no path for her to surpass him as "the only one who can beat Trump" in 2024. 1
Vermillion Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Just now, Armani? said: Surprised no one has posted about the Save Act discourse I'm still distracted by Clarence literally being bought off by Putin, sorry. If there was actual evidence of a problem shown in the data of meaning I'd care more. I am aware of the bill though. 1
Vroom Vroom Posted July 11 Posted July 11 6 minutes ago, bunnyeyes said: Yeah, it's pretty obvious he doesn't like Kamala especially after she almost destroyed his campaign and calculated that he could keep her at bay from outshining him in exchange for a 2028 endorsement. I'm at honestly glad he was pressured to select a woman with black heritage because he probably wouldn't have done so otherwise and there are so many capable Black women in this country. He set up Kamala by not letting her get any notable projects and then putting her on immigration when she spoke out to punish her knowing it was a no-win for anyone. Literally a veep plotpoint. I also think Tammy D. would do well in an executive role. It was reported that Kamala was extremely picky about which projects she would accept. She dropped finding the root cause of immigration the second she was receiving negative coverage for it. Then she begged to be put in charge of the John Lewis Voting Act, which was pretty much dead on arrival. She wanted big flashy projects with zero substance. I will push back on you a little. She was overseeing a split 50-50 Senate. She wasn't really able to travel because she needed to stay in DC in case she needed to make a tie breaking vote. She has made the most tie breaking votes in history 1

19SLAYty9 Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Biden's first choice was Whitmer. She told him to choose Kamala. Along with Whitmer and Harris, Warren & Susan Rice also made it to the final round. Tammy Duckworth was also on the list but wasn't chosen because they were worried partisan judges would strike her from ballots due to her not being born in the US despite her obviously being an American citizen

She never confirmed the first quote on the record by the way. She did deny the second quote yesterday on The View while promoting her book.

Meanwhile, the DNC already has Rashida Tlaib lined up as their scapegoat and their next target to suggest AIPAC, I'm sure. I have very little faith that Cori Bush and Ilhan Omar will survive the Blue MAGA purge in August after they were invigorated and vindicated by Bowman's embarrassing loss, but we'll see. AOC and Ayanna have already bent the knee, and Summer Lee will probably suit, so they're not any real threat.
