Harris is promoting her resume and her goals rather than race as she courts Black voters

As Harris courts voters, she embodies her identity as a woman of color rather than making it an overt part of her pitch, choosing instead to emphasize her policies and resume.

Yes, moving away from identity politics is something Bernie Sanders also pointed to being more effective for the Dems. I wish Kamala would endorse some of her father's bold economic plans, but maybe it is too early.

As MLK said, we should be blind to race and gender.

MAGA needs to keep MLK's name out of their mouths with their race-baiting rhetoric.

MLK evolved and was hardcore.

Whenever the government provides opportunities in privileges for white people and rich people they call it “subsidized” when they do it for Negro and poor people they call it “welfare.” The fact that is the everybody in this country lives on welfare. Suburbia was built with federally subsidized credit. And highways that take our white brothers out to the suburbs were built with federally subsidized money to the tune of 90 percent. Everybody is on welfare in this country. The problem is that we all to often have socialism for the rich and rugged free enterprise capitalism for the poor. That’s the problem.

“The Minister to the Valley,” February 23, 1968, From the archives of the SCLC.*

Dick Cheney's endorsement tells us exactly where she stands on the issues.

it tells you even the most conservative people don’t want trump near the white house again.

trump is insane.

What's important is that Kamala has gleefully accepted to bring Dick Cheney into her circle, cementing her as the official approved Neo-Con candidate.

I thought she was a Marxist? I wish people would make up their minds.

I thought she was a Marxist? I wish people would make up their minds.

Trump: She is a Marxist who is stealing and copying all my policies.

It is like Schrödinger's cat .

MLK was a victim of White Supremacy,I do not judge people on their color,but I realized all White people do not care about the interest of people of color,but as Black person,I not gonna spend the rest of my life appeasing insecure White people when their opportunity for people of color to strike the iron while the fire is hot usher in Liberty, Equality and Justice for All

I wish Kamala would endorse some of her father's bold economic plans, but maybe it is too early. 

I wish so as well, she's already lagging behind Trump by 12 percentage points when it comes to the economy, and implementing her father's radical socialist income redistribution plan would probably up Trump's percentage point average to 20.

MAGA needs to keep MLK's name out of their mouths with their race-baiting rhetoric. 

The left can't say anything since it was THEIR policies that put Blacks into the social and economic disparity it is now

MLK evolved and was hardcore.

But sadly, he capitulated too much and did more bad than good. for the Black community in the end.

it tells you even the most conservative people don’t want trump near the white house again.

trump is insane.

To be honest, no true conservative cares about Cheney, and the fact that he would align himself with Kamala and the Democrats after years of pounding this guy and vilifying him for years over the Iraq war, now they are embracing him shows you how similar both establishment parties are. So they all are the same and they should all stick together, but the average conservative voter of today will just shrug their shoulders and laugh at these losers. But I do with the establishment luck though.

What's important is that Kamala has gleefully accepted to bring Dick Cheney into her circle,

That such a dyed in the wool Republican would vote for a Democrat shows what a danger to democracy that Trump represents.

Excellent analysis... I imagine 99.9% of white supremacists will agree with you.

But sadly, he capitulated too much and did more bad than good. for the Black community in the end.

To be honest, no true conservative cares about Cheney, 

There are no truer conservatives than Cheney…

Bass4,what have Trump done for White people,lots of White people are living in more misery than people of color

To be honest, no true conservative cares about Cheney,

Surrender-MAGAs left conservatism behind years ago.

There are no truer conservatives than Cheney…

And the NeoCons can have him, good for them.

what have Trump done for White people,lots of White people are living in more misery than people of color

A lot, you are always going to have the poor, but when it comes to small businesses, low inflation, and lower taxes quite a bit, you are off if you think ANY President will just magically stop poverty, they won't, however, you can greatly reduce it, but the Dems have not for the Black community, in fact, they made it worse.

Surrender-MAGAs left conservatism behind years ago.

No, we left the establishment and the war-hungry people behind and that is a good thing.

VP Harris doesn't need to promote or even defend her race.

She is who she is and will be: VP and POTUS-to-become!

Besides, she doesn't have to copy Trump's policies, because he doesn't have any.

They're all just in the making, same like his relationships with women!

Seeping out every pore of Kamala Harris four year as US Vice President is a fragrant message of a blunt Identity/gender course of action.

So blatantly evident through Harris US 2024 presidential campaign having the stench, negativity, toxicity poison for a necessity to bait, politically weaponize the sneering agenda associated gender/identity.

Right here, loud and clear, these three paragraphs

Harris, throughout her career, has been "many different firsts, and has never really led with that as a descriptor,” said Brian Brokaw, who managed Harris' winning campaign for California attorney general in 2010.

“Her life story and her identity and her background and her job experience have all been critical parts of her campaigns," he said. But he added that "becoming the first — that has never actually been part of her core rationale for why she should be elected a office. It just happens to be a important result of her elections.”

Harris' identity, too, is evident in how she chooses to engage with voters. A member of a historically Black sorority while attending Howard University, Harris spoke this summer in Houston at the annual assembly of another sorority, where she told the women “it is so good to be with you this evening, and I say that as a proud member of the Divine Nine. And when I look out at everyone here, I see family.”

Not a celebration of how "black" business innovation, of proud black unity, of protest has changed US communities culture beyond recognition.

Kamala Harris campaign reeks of a continued "black victim" culture, requiring, insisting "taxpayer charitable welfare handouts" is and always will be a go to in US Presidential elections

Kamala Harris needs to be challenged, in the media, interviews, press conferences, from political broadcasters friend or foe.

Harris policies, how all these policies are to be fully funded.

Before November 5th

Itso,Black are not victim,for one thing ,and the majority of Black people have no fear of White people,and will exercise all legal mean against White Supremacy

What's important is that Kamala has gleefully accepted to bring Dick Cheney into her circle, cementing her as the official approved Neo-Con candidate.

Dick Cheney's endorsement tells us exactly where she stands on the issues.

Yes, with Kamala as president, we should expect more wars.

Nobody should, or feel they should have to find the courage to enforce basic racial human rights when natures lottery, upholstering the colour of ones skin.

US has moved on a very long way.

Politian's need to fully endorse this fact, not weaponize division at US election time.

Yrral,

Why wasn't your valid point, I believe pertinent raised at ABC debate?

Instead of a bias 3 to 1 beasting of Trump?

Black are not victim,

Why do they claim so? Why does the left tell us so?

for one thing ,and the majority of Black people have no fear of White people,and will exercise all legal mean against White Supremacy

I have no idea what you’re talking about, but if you want to talk about White Supremacy, just look at the Democrat policies that put Blacks in the social economic slum so many are living in today.

Itso,the US has moved,not because lots White people decided,lots of White know Black people have no fear of them and exercise all the legal options on those that trangress against them

Because Yrral, the US nation, the people insisted.

Regardless of the need to quote primary characteristic used to assign people to different “races.” 

I witnessed this first hand in a number of boardrooms, US banking institutions recently,

A variable montage of cultural equity.

I find it rather absurd irritating to hear politician's patronising condescension that "Black" needs a continued special hand out.

I do not question ,Mr Harris blackness,she was raised in the heart of Black liberation in Oakland,she witness in formal years in Oakland,what it mean to be Black and proud

you can greatly reduce it, but the Dems have not for the Black community, in fact, they made it worse.

Nonsense.

Democrats after years of pounding this guy and vilifying him for years over the Iraq war, now they are embracing him

We’ll take his endorsement as a sign of everyone who believes Trump is unfit for office is better than not.

But make no mistake Dick Cheney is a GOP conservative weasel. He is a hypocrite and we all know it. And he was mainly responsible for the USA starting a unilateral war with Iraq making a narrative of WMD’s that did not exist…a typical lie and acceptance from conservatives.

“To be honest, no true conservative cares about Cheney, and the fact that he would align himself with Kamala and the Democrats after years of pounding this guy and vilifying him for years over the Iraq war, now they are embracing him shows you how similar both establishment parties are.”

you don’t speak for true conservatives. you’re a radical far right extremist.

and no one is embracing him. as i said, they’re pointing out that even if cheney doesn’t want trump, it shows how nutty and insane trump is.

trump is running on one thing only - to try to keep himself out of prison.

bass4funk

Democrats after years of pounding this guy and vilifying him for years over the Iraq war, now they are embracing him shows you how similar both establishment parties are.

Not at all, Dems want nothing to do with Cheney. But they will take the endorsement.

the fact that he would align himself with Kamala and the Democrats after years of pounding this guy and vilifying him for years over the Iraq war, now they are embracing him shows you how similar both establishment parties

But the Republicans are doing the same with Vance. He's suddenly a wonderful VP pick after all the things he's said about Trump publicly.

Trump only wants to attack Harris's Blackness, or her looks, and her crowd sizes, because he has no other avenue to attack her on. He thinks he can divert the American people's attention away from his lack of policies. Oh, I'm sorry, he actually has "concepts" of policies and plans. The sad thing is that his base is so easily duped that they do forget that he has no policies to run on and will vote for him because to them he is "better-looking" and "stronger", and will believe any and all conspiracies that come out of his mouth. Fortunately, most Americans are not that blind (I hope).

talked with Pennsylvania voters about supporting small businesses, building more housing and expanding the child tax credit

And what has she done on this subject in the last 4 yrs, why have you not done it already..just a election gimmick and will be all forgotten after 6 weeks..

Harris leading in 6 major post debate polls. Is Trump going to refuse to concede and incite more violence when he loses this time? He’s reverting to his ‘greatest hits’ at rallies, so of course he’ll be telling his cultists it was rigged.

To be honest, no true conservative cares about Cheney, and the fact that he would align himself with Kamala and the Democrats after years of pounding this guy and vilifying him for years over the Iraq war, now they are embracing him shows you how similar both establishment parties are. So they all are the same and they should all stick together, but the average conservative voter of today will just shrug their shoulders and laugh at these losers. But I do with the establishment luck though.

To be honest, the fact that long-term uber-conservatives like Dick and Liz Cheney, and John Bolton refuse to support Trump just shows the huge schism that runs through the Repub party...a schism that weakens and diminishes it...

And highlights the fact that MAGA-world is not conservative at all...it is fascist...

there are some signs that older Black voters may be more supportive of Harris than younger Black voters are..

Spin it whatever way you want, sizeable section of that black vote is slipping away, that race card is not working for her..and suddenly the focus on policies. In the last few months, she could do still do something to put on her resume, that could work in 28.

“I think it’s a tragedy that we have someone who wants to be president who has consistently over the course of his career attempted to use race to divide the American people."

Harris is correct.

Witness 1) Trump's deliberate mispronunciation of Harris' name, 2) his questioning of her ethnic identity, 3) the demonization of immigrants of color, 4) the embrace of the overtly racist and unsubstantiated accusation that Haitians eat other people's pets, and 5) his new hardcore racist girlfriend Laura Loomer.

There's more, of course.

Young blacks got Harris back,you do not know that , because you are not Black,You got to fight the power,you got fight the power that be MAGA

The fact that Trump and our MAGA-posters here, think they can appeal to Black voters, after saying the first Black President was illegitimate, that "some" Neo-Nazis are fine people, that white supremacist Nick Fuentes deserves a dinner invitation, that the current Dem nominee "isn't Black", and now accuses Black immigrants of major pet crimes, just shows how utterly deluded they are...

They'd think all the Palestinians would vote for Netanyahu...

people rarely see the real trump at his rambling stump speeches. even fox network cuts away when he goes off the rails.

all the networks are hiding the nonsense and insanity. print and online news sources are hiding his insane ramblings.

the networks want the image of a basketball game in the final minute with the score tied to keep you coming back. it’s disgraceful.

it’s not a split in the republican party, it’s about the insanity of trump.

it tells you even the most conservative people don’t want trump..

Yes.. because he is not part of this group.. and this time around he will go after these warmongers...

 that "some" Neo-Nazis are fine people

"I'm not talking about the neo-nazis or white supremacists...they should be condemed completely" Donald J Trump

Trump said he'll mass deport legal Haitians back to Venezuela and accuse them of eating dogs and cats—a rumor started by a local American woman who now has regretted saying it. Trump lacks geography sense if he thinks Haitians come from Venezuela.

When it comes to Trump it's always raining cats and dogs these days.

Trump claims German and Scottish. His father wasn't German and was born in New York.

With the corporate, uh, let's say "friendship", that Mr. Trump gave such generous tax breaks to, the working class is being used for chumps. They are sacks of meat who vote. He has proselytized them into believing that a vote for him is a vote for them. Then he will tax them into poverty. You can't really think this guy is going to toss a bone with meat on it to the suckers.

"I'm not talking about the neo-nazis or white supremacists...they should be condemed completely" Donald J Trump

So then who was he talking? Oh, that's right. The losers protesting the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue. I thought conservatives were against participation trophies? Apparently they're okay with them sometimes.

Nonsense

Facts

Good on Kamala for 'winning' the debate without answering questions on her own policies

Good on Kamala for 'winning' the debate without answering questions on her own policies

Amen brother. Trump's lies were far more substantive. Ree

Not at all, Dems want nothing to do with Cheney. But they will take the endorsement.

Good, that helps better to identify the swamp rats

So then who was he talking?

I saw groups of people at that rally providing assitence to those injured in melees. Those groups were comprised of both black and white people. I'm sure he saw that, too. What he did say explicitly was

"I'm not talking about the neo-nazis or white supremacists...they should be condemed completely"

Why do you suppose the MSM and people like yourself omit that bit...just as you like to omit the "peacefully protest" bit on Jan 6

His father wasn't German and was born in New York.

A little research shows that statement is outright wrong.

*Born in the Bronx to German immigrants,*

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

Good on Kamala for 'winning' the debate without answering questions on her own policies

As opposed to “We have a concepts of a plan’….. still waiting after 9 years.

Good, that helps better to identify the swamp rats

Calling your kind swamp rats. Who needs enemies when you have friends like that?

That such a dyed in the wool Republican would vote for a Democrat shows what a danger to democracy that Trump represents.

What's this "Deep State Ruling elite"? Who is it?

Trump claimed his father was born in Germany not German immigrants in New York.

you are always going to have the poor

You believe two thirds of American voters are working class. I don’t think you have any inkling about ‘the poor’.

161 Trump lies during the Trump-Harris debate.

You believe two thirds of American voters are working class. I don’t think you have any inkling about ‘the poor’.

161 Trump lies during the Trump-Harris debate

And Kamala not answering a single question.

We're now learning what a train-wreck the debate was for Trump..

Kamala Harris Leads Donald Trump In SIX Post-Debate National Polls...

1) A Morning Consult survey of 3,317 likely voters conducted on September 11, the day after the debate, put Harris ahead with 50 percent against 45 percent for Trump. 

2) Ipsos surveyed 1,405 registered voters for Reuters over September 11-12, which found Harris had a five-point lead with 47 percent of the vote against Trump's 42 percent. 

3) Between September 11 and 13 YouGov polled 1,755 U.S. adults for Yahoo News. Among the registered voters included in the sample Harris led Trump by 50 percent of the vote against 45 percent. 

4) RMG Research polled 2,756 likely voters between September 9, the day before the debate, and September 12, on behalf of The Napolitan Institute. The poll gave Harris a four-point lead with 51 percent of the vote, against 47 percent for Trump.

5) A Leger poll of 1,174 likely voters, conducted between September 10 and 11 for The New York Post, put Harris on 47 percent versus 44 percent for Trump. 

6) Redfield & Wilton Strategies polled 1,952 likely voters on September 12. This survey found Harris had a two point lead with 44 percent of the vote against 42 percent for Trump,

And the more he talks about immigrants eating dogs and cats the larger Harris' lead grows...

But you know he'll continue to do it...

MAGA-world is self-imploding...

161 Trump lies during the Trump-Harris debate.

According to "fact-checkers"...Y'all

“Nobody knows more about being poor than me!” claims the fat billionaire who as a child did his newspaper delivery route from a limousine. This is true, check it.

Trump only wants to attack Harris's Blackness, lor her looks, and her crowd sizes, because he has no other avenue to attack her on.

None of those are true, but he’s definitely going after her record over these last 3 years

He thinks he can divert the American people's attention away from his lack of policies.

You kidding me?? It’s because of his policies why Kamala is struggling against Trump

Oh, I'm sorry, he actually has "concepts" of policies and plans.

His last 4 years and his website as well as what he’s currently promoting on the campaign trail

The sad thing is that his base is so easily duped that they do forget that he has no policies to run on and will vote for him because to them he is "better-looking" and "stronger", and will believe any and all conspiracies that come out of his mouth. Fortunately, most Americans are not that blind (I hope)

Well, that’s not true with over past 289 accomplishments overall, and when it comes to the economy, border and geopolitics, Harris doesn’t come anywhere close.

You believe two thirds of American voters are working class. I don’t think you have any inkling about ‘the poor’.

You sure don’t.

How would you know that? Bit of a rudy assumption isn’t it?

Stick to talking about what you know instead of what you don’t, your keyboard will last longer.

One good thing about Kamala is that she addresses all types of social groups and minorities..

He wants to create a country just for them..

Out of every single one of these polls, not one of them is a current constant and reputable used poll internet and college poll based, you kidding me?

MAGA-world is self-imploding...

What the left hopes, like Jessie Jackson would say, “Keep hope alive.”

His last 4 years and his website as well as what he’s currently promoting on the campaign trail

What is his plan? Why couldn’t he articulate it? He literally said he doesn’t have one.

How would you know that? Bit of a rudy assumption isn’t it?

I was talking as an American. You wouldn’t, of course not. Nothing rude at all in pointing out that fact.

Stick to talking about what you know instead of what you don’t,

I do and did

your keyboard will last longer

Worry about your own keyboard, thanks

Out of every single one of these polls, not one of them is a current constant and reputable used poll internet and college poll based, you kidding me?

Could you please link the poll which 45 claimed he won the debate 98 to 2 percent?

As you said, there is no condition you will stop supporting 45 “other than him sexually molesting a child” so pardon me if I question your cult membership.

One good thing about Kamala is that she addresses all types of social groups and minorities..

As does Trump the difference is, he wants them to be legal and self-reliant while Kamala wants them to be illegal and for them to be subsidized by the taxpayer.

While Trump only looks for his conservative white christians.. 

Because white atheist liberals won’t.

He wants to create a country just for them.

No, he wants to create a country with rules and laws and not a country where illegals think they have the right to enter a sovereign nation without any consequences whatsoever.

even that wouldn’t sway the cult.

What I believe is not relevant on the issue

Do you vote according to facts or what you ‘believe’?

“ To be honest, the fact that long-term uber-conservatives like Dick and Liz Cheney, and John Bolton refuse to support Trump just shows the huge schism that runs through the Repub party...a schism that weakens and diminishes it... “they wouldn't let Kamala pick a Jew and the Republicans are the ones with the problems, heheh—

Uh, Trump picked a guy that sexually assaults couches, insults cat owners, and compared Trump to Hitler - and YOU want to talk about VP picks?

( the people you mentioned can't stand Trump—it’s personal—completely different from the kind of division that exists within the Democratic Party )

Sure, keep telling yourself that...won't help though...

What is his plan?

Regarding what?

Why couldn’t he articulate it?

He has been

He literally said he doesn’t have one.

He never said that.

Do you vote according to facts or what you ‘believe’?

Being from California and knowing Kamala, both

Could you please link the poll which 45 claimed he won the debate 98 to 2 percent?

I don’t need a poll, neither won the debate, especially after what ABC did and the fallout for what they did still continues, so they just destroyed what little credibility they had left

As you said, there is no condition you will stop supporting 45 “other than him sexually molesting a child” so pardon me if I question your cult membership.

No, cult membership then I would be on the Trump hate bandwagon.

over past 289 accomplishments overall,

According to him.

30,573 false or misleading statements in his term, according to the facts.

Anyway, back to the topic of race. What does everyone think about Trump’s racist new girlfriend?

Could you please link the poll which 45 claimed he won the debate 98 to 2 percent?

I don’t need a poll, neither won the debate

So why did he claim he won? Where is the poll that said he won 98%?

Do you finally admit he is lying?

It’s very clear Harris won the debate. Even fox news said so.

No, cult membership then I would be on the Trump hate bandwagon.

I would never ever even think about resorting to using ‘as long as they don’t molest children’ as justification for supporting someone.

On economic questions, the civil rights group is urging organizers and campaigns to listen to Black voters’ concerns.

And that would be the 'socialism for the rich' MLK pointed out and the affirmative action of privilege Michelle Obama pointed out in her speech about Trump.

Trump's view of the concerns of Blacks?

-Pet eating migrants taking 'black jobs'

-Harris: Indian or Black?

-Harris: DEI hire?

-Is 'black crime' caused by Dem welfare entitlements?

etc etc

According to him. 

No, according to his record

30,573 false or misleading statements in his term, according to the facts. 

Which the liberals tried so hard to claim and kept getting debunked, even the NYT came to Trump’s defense and called…..this woman out.

Anyway, back to the topic of race.

Yes

What does everyone think about Trump’s racist new girlfriend?

Girlfriend? Here we go with more lib conspiracy theories, I thought you guys hated that. And by the way, what’s the difference between her and Sharpton? Both have said outrageous things and yet, the left and this administration still talk to him.

So why did he claim he won? Where is the poll that said he won 98%?

Heck if I know.

Do you finally admit he is lying?

I believe neither side won that debate.

It’s very clear Harris won the debate. Even fox news said so. 

Depends on who you are asking, not all of the pundits think in lockstep, that would be msnbc.

I would never ever even think about resorting to using ‘as long as they don’t molest children’ as justification for supporting someone.

And?

Out of every single one of these polls, not one of them is a current constant and reputable used poll internet and college poll based, you kidding me?

Says who?

MAGA-world is self-imploding...

What the left hopes, like Jessie Jackson would say, “Keep hope alive.”

Repubs needs more than hope - they need Nikki Haley...

Says who? 

People that are aware of legitimate standard used industry polls.

Repubs needs more than hope - they need Nikki Haley...

They don’t need Democrats

I would never ever even think about resorting to using ‘as long as they don’t molest children’ as justification for supporting someone.

And?

And you do.

That’s what makes me different from you. I judge someone based on what they have done or said. I don’t need hypotheticals about child molestation.

So why did he claim he won? Where is the poll that said he won 98%?

Heck if I know.

Do you finally admit he is lying?

I believe neither side won that debate.

Ok. If you won’t say he is lying, which of course he is, 45 claims he won the debate.

You disagree with him. It’s a start.
