*****Kamala Town Hall Thread. LET'S GOOOO!!*****

[nolabear]

Have at, DU!

[nolabear]

1. Right after the panel says she shouldn't talk Hitler

Anderson first question is about Hitler. Okay, let’s get it out of the way,

[Sparkly]

2. I didn't see the panel.

She's spot on!

[JohnSJ]

14. Exactly. These jackass talking heads what do they expect her to talk about if they ask

her a question about it?

Now watch them criticize her for talking about it because she is answering the question about it.

[Coexist]

3. do you think he's a fascist? Yes I do!

Plain and true

[nolabear]

5. So glad the gloves are off.

We’ll hear them go apeshit, and we should.

[Coexist]

11. Good let's make "is TFG a fascist" the news all day tomorrow please

[bdamomma]

4. Is this on

CNN??? Got It!

[cilla4progress]

6. Yes!

Kamala always hits the mark!

[nolabear]

8. Yes

[senseandsensibility]

9. Yes

Missed the beginning, just tuned in.

[Sparkly]

10. Yes

[Sparkly]

16. We should have a kick line! ha.

[Funtatlaguy]

7. So far, so good/

[nolabear]

12. She looks and sounds good.

[cilla4progress]

13. She had me at yes, trump

is a fascist.

[nolabear]

17. We're all nodding so hard our eyes are rattling.

[bdamomma]

24. Put

a full-page ad in the NYT. FASCIST ACROSS THE FELON'S UGLY MUG!!!!!

[nolabear]

15. I like the young woman's question.

How do you talk to those not on either end of the spectrum?

[JohnSJ]

18. Glad tapper isn't the host of this town hall.

[nolabear]

19. Me too. I really like Anderson. Always have.

[senseandsensibility]

20. OMG yes!

Say what you will about Anderson, at least he is low-key and respectful.

[nolabear]

21. I'd like to see plain talk on groceries. She's doing okay

I’m glad Anderson is following up. But Covid, supply chain, fuel …oh, she’s doing it! Good woman.

[nolabear]

22. Apropos of nothing love Carol's glasses.

[senseandsensibility]

23. She just brought up the fact that cheato didn't show up

to take their questions, right after she kicked you know what on the cost of living question.

[nolabear]

25. She should point out that Biden deviated from Obama's administration.

[Coexist]

26. She's so disciplined. I want her in the room with world leaders representing us

[bdamomma]

27. All these questions

about the economy???? Is it due price gouging??? Is it due to the House who haven't had the other side of the aisle vote for the people interests.

[Tribetime]

33. The only thing that should matter tonght and thru Nov.5 is Trump wanting to be like Hitler

Everything else is secondary.

[Sparkly]

43. Amen!

"We'd like your record on walking when the stoplight is blinking yellow."

Ignoring "Orange Menace Plows Through National Norms, Potentially Undermining America in a New World Order, Where the United States Aligns With Russia and North Korea."

[nolabear]

28. LOL--I want to hate Jackson but he did ask a nuanced question.

Again I’d like to see details about what the plan, even an early one, is.

[JohnSJ]

29. Good response on immigration. It has be fixed through legislation, not

executive action, because Congress holds the purse string

[Bev54]

82. I only wished she would have answered Anderson on the building the wall part of the bill

as "As you said Anderson it was a compromise bill, we compromised and gave the republicans their wall so we could get a comprehensive plan approved".

[onecaliberal]

30. Anderson Cooper is a POS

[nolabear]

34. I don't think so. He's pushing but she's answering.

He’s not disrespectful but pushes for detail. I have no problem.

[onecaliberal]

36. The immigration issue was disgusting. She answered over and over.

They would NEVER push Trump in this way. They’re cowards.

[Quiet Em]

47. He was pushing the Trumper narrative hard.

He gets on my nerves. He turned into a huge Trump normalizer and I don't like it.

[onecaliberal]

49. Hence my comment.

He’s a pos.

[TwilightZone]

51. Trump would never agree to this.

If he did, I could see Anderson pushing him. I don't think Anderson is intimidated by anyone.

[nolabear]

31. Interesting seeing a studious, quiet audience.

I like it. It’s serious and fearless. I’d still like details.

[Funtatlaguy]

32. There has been zero applause

for any answer.
Did CNN tell the crowd not to applaud?
This is so sterile.
Anderson trying hard to blame her for Bidens immigration policies.

[nolabear]

35. I think they did discourage reactions.

[JohnSJ]

46. and she answered it perfectly. Executive action is not the solution, legislative

action to provide real solutions is needed.

[Silent Type]

81. That is a good answer. If pushing her resulted in that concise answer, it's a sound byte.

[JohnSJ]

93. I think so too.

[helpisontheway]

73. Sick of Anderson. I liked him in the past when he pretended to be fair. Nt

[Sparkly]

37. I feel like I'm watching Hillary Clinton defending everything the Shrub did in Iraq...

"What about this WALL part of the compromise?"

"What about what Netanyahu did in Palestine?"

"What about the anti-Semitism because of what Netanyahu did in Palestine?"

[nolabear]

40. They could do an hour on each topic.

[Coexist]

45. the question was impossible, 'how to make sure not one more person is killed by an American bomb"

Umm.. no one can ffs

[Coexist]

38. Wow both sides of the war back to back

she's very empathetic and believable

[Martin Eden]

95. To avoid alienating either, neither will be pleased with her answer.

That's a rhetorically difficult line to walk.

[Funtatlaguy]

39. Trump couldn't answer these questions

with any thoughtful responses.
No way.
But Harris is expected to have perfect answers to everything.
The double standard is ridiculous.

[nolabear]

44. Boy, what a vulnerable position to be in.

I like it better than debate but I’d really feel under the gun, so to speak.

[Jonhn1]

41. Godwin

2

[JohnSJ]

42. A good issue on third party voters not voting because of Israeli Palestinian issue

She understands the issue and the need to a cease fire now that sinwar has been eliminated, release of hostages, rebuild Gaza, and a two state solution, but there is more than one issue facing the country that needs to be factored in all the issues.

[gab13by13]

48. Kamala is leaving no doubt with me

That the October surprise is linking TSF to Hitler , linking him to dictators.

[oldtime dfl_er]

54. at the very least

it proves she can pivot on a dime. That story just broke and she's fully informed on it and ready to answer.

[TwilightZone]

57. Much of the story has been public for at least two years.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219595258

If The Atlantic (or whoever) just repackaged it with some new info so that it could be released now, that was a pretty damn brilliant move. Seems that nearly everyone forgot the 2022 story anyway, so it looks like a bombshell now.

[nolabear]

50. I'm glad they asked about the pastor.

I’m glad because it’s NOT really important, but gives her a chance to sound like the person behind the position. That influences people.

[Sparkly]

53. I loved her answer.

It resonated with me! (And I'm not a church-goer -- but grew up with it, and learned from the parables.)

[Quiet Em]

52. She's doing great

Competent, honest, knowledgeable, relatable.

[nolabear]

55. Perfect answer about being a nerd and overdeliberating.

It’s a good “flaw” to have.

[ecstatic]

56. just tuned in -- watching delayed from DVR

I'm already kind of annoyed though because CNN is feeding into the nonsense IMO. The bottom line is that we need someone with character and integrity in the White House. Kamala Harris has those qualities, and trump clearly does not. Nothing that she says tonight will change that.

[Sparkly]

58. On Grieving

What a perfectly beautiful statement.

[Jonhn1]

59. This was very very enlightening

Jesus

[marble falls]

94. Interesting, how so?

[nolabear]

60. Odd question about grieving. But I like what she says.

Once again she’s human. Tfg has nothing but contempt for that.

[OneGrassRoot]

91. Cooper has a podcast...

Which focuses on grieving.

[nolabear]

92. Oh I'd forgotten that!

Thanks for reminding me!

[jalan48]

61. She's doing a great job. Go Kamala!

[gab13by13]

62. Damn

Looks like time to donate again. Kamala is rocking.

[elleng]

63. About grief: My family lost a good friend yesterday,

learned about it today; she was mother of 3 boys we shared a 'baby'sitter with, so she (and whole family) was close to my family for many of my daughters' young years; the boys were like brothers to my daughters, and we're all grieving now. ('Kids' adults now, and don't live nearby. Very sad, and thinking of her, our friend, fondly.)

[nolabear]

65. I'm so sorry. She's right. It doesn't end.

You can only try to honor your lost beloveds by living well and doing things that honor them. That keep their influence in the world.

[Sparkly]

71. So sorry, elleng

I hope her passing was as easy as it could be for all, and her children will have plenty of memories of her.

[elleng]

72. Thanks, Sparkly.

Her passing was sudden, apparently shortly after surgery while she was recovering, and had been out shopping with one of the boys the day before.

Will learn more, I'm sure, and the boys (and we) have MANY memories. AND just learned, there's a new baby, one of the boys married couple years ago (I attended reception/party,) had a boy baby 2-3 yas ago, and a new little girl now; not many girls in the family, and I'm sure our friend was thrilled about that.)

[Sparkly]

76. Such blessings matter!!

(You might know about my health, yet the miracle of my daughter surviving and having a beautiful baby girl. Stinky is overjoyed.)

[elleng]

78. GREAT to see you say '. Stinky is overjoyed!'

Learned briefly/recently about your health issue.

[SheltieLover]

75. Deepest condolences, Ellen

[elleng]

79. Thank you.

[regnaD kciN]

83. May her memory be a blessing...

[elleng]

85. Thank you. It IS, and will be, forever.

I didn't mention earlier, one of the boys, middle one, wrote:

'There was no task that she did not meet with an all encompassing energy. This can be embodied in nothing better than the way she raised her son Eli. Independent living for her son with intellectual disabilities was not a question but a mission that she marched towards at her own chaotic drumbeat. She and my dad are the architects of this full life Eli lives at his apartment in Rockville. Surrounded by friends, resources, public transportation and most importantly a movie theatre. She was also the hearth that kept the tireless work of his day to day schedule operating at 110%. (Eli has Down Syndrome.)
We will carry this torch of independence and self-advocacy forward for her and my late father because that is what they taught us to do.'

[nolabear]

64. I'm glad she's not letting Anderson interrupt

I think he’s trying to be “tough” and it works in her favor when she hands it back to him.

[cilla4progress]

66. I think this has been tough and some answers are stronger than others.

Overall her strategy, competence, and not getting trapped in the weeds is admirable.

She is skillful in pulling back to the larger context and policies of the moment. Not the least, Trumps fascism.

4 alarm fire...

[nolabear]

69. Agree. She's doing well. It's not a barn burner but it's good.

And she’s THERE.

Hey! It’s over!

[Sparkly]

67. I think she's becoming tired of counting how many fairies might dance on the head of a pin

re: her answer on Supreme Court reform....

Edit: I shouldn't have used the word "tired!" I should have said "fed up."

[Pisces]

68. I'm not sure she answered the taxes question well enough. I hope this works for her but I don't think anyone

Leaning towards Trump is going to vote for her because of this town hall. They are looking for reasons to dislike her and you will find whatever you are looking for.

[elleng]

70. This was good, and she was GREAT!!!

[BootinUp]

74. Kamala is just another know-it-all demoncrat! /sarcasm

[Seinan Sensei]

77. "They are not taking the same exam"

"He gets to be Lawless
She has to be Flawless"

Van Jones on CNN, discussing the Town Hall

[Uncle Joe]

80. I believe that Kamala scored a touchdown, home run, three pointer and hole in one all at the same time in that townhall.

Thanks for the thread nolabear

[elleng]

88. I AGREE!!!

[Coexist]

84. Wow - these undecided voters are very introspectful

I think she came away very favorably to them. Good! it was a success!!!

[elleng]

89. YES, she won them ALL!!!

[flying-skeleton]

86. Fascist... meaning

You & I know what Fascist means.
I'll be willing to bet many Magats do not.
I wish VP Kamala had expanded on what Fascism means for those with low IQ.

[elleng]

90. a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator

controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government.

[flying-skeleton]

87. Dana Bash ‼️‼️‼️

Is such a closeted Magat. She can't even hide it anymore. It oozes out of her mouth everytime she speaks.
