79. It's politics. People talk shit about each other all the time.

It will get worse before it gets any better. Harris is going for the KO early against Biden. He's a veteran, so I am hoping he is able to hold his own. If he doesn't, then he was not as ready for the battle as we, his supporters, hoped for.

It is what it is. Also, Harris is going to get some serious scrutiny soon, so get ready.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Highlight:

Harris allies now accusing Biden of sexism to go along with racism and homophobia? [View all] wyldwolf Jul 2019 OP

Looks like she's going for the trifecta. jalan48 Jul 2019 #1

She? Where? mcar Jul 2019 #25

I've clearly overestimated the political sophistication of some of the folks on this board EffieBlack Jul 2019 #34

Yep mcar Jul 2019 #90

She did not imply Biden was homophobic, nor have her supporters. NT emmaverybo Jul 2019 #88

That's right mcar Jul 2019 #91

KGB at work and if they are successful again we DESERVE to be destroyed Eliot Rosewater Jul 2019 #101

Sad to say, hi you are right mcar Jul 2019 #102

The article appears to be more of a critique of Biden and his campaign then of Harris Kaleva Jul 2019 #2

They're complaining about Carol Moseley Braun now. ucrdem Jul 2019 #6

Isn't that pretty much what the thread title says? n/t Mr.Bill Jul 2019 #10

Yes, yes it does but I don't think that was the OPs intent. Kaleva Jul 2019 #12

I am not responding to what the article's angle is. I am responding to specific posts about some emmaverybo Jul 2019 #35

Did you mean to reply to me? Kaleva Jul 2019 #38

Yes. The article does not argue Harris's candidacy in part or in whole. It does not take s position emmaverybo Jul 2019 #51

The only person quoted is Watson Coleman who is a Corey Booker supporter Kaleva Jul 2019 #60

Fair enough. "They" then are just two people, but they do reflect some of the push-back I find to emmaverybo Jul 2019 #73

My opinion of Politico is that their headlines are often 'embellished'. Kaleva Jul 2019 #93

Ok. Best of luck. What will her team do when the half-truth attacks start on her? emulatorloo Jul 2019 #3

accuse Biden of kicking puppies? wyldwolf Jul 2019 #5

He called her out on her busing claims. ucrdem Jul 2019 #4

Apparently a need to project Trump's real flaws on a fellow Democratic candidate who doesn't have emulatorloo Jul 2019 #7

Yes. ucrdem Jul 2019 #16

It makes me sick to see Democrats being played like this EffieBlack Jul 2019 #8

Anyone who falls for this ratfcking doesn't have an excuse mcar Jul 2019 #26

Ditto. elleng Jul 2019 #53

Mosely Braun going after Sen Harris for ambition tishaLA Jul 2019 #9

Hard to believe Mosley-Braun would make "stupid" or sexist comments on serious political emmaverybo Jul 2019 #14

Well said. emulatorloo Jul 2019 #19

Sure she was. It was right in the quote tishaLA Jul 2019 #21

Mosely Brown fought fair. emulatorloo Jul 2019 #18

Her presidential campaign went swimmingly tishaLA Jul 2019 #27

Aw emulatorloo Jul 2019 #29

Ironically, she used the very tactics women have been accused of using for centuries-- emmaverybo Jul 2019 #11

Yes it was the strangest thing to watch. ucrdem Jul 2019 #13

This is an interesting observation made about a woman in the same debate EffieBlack Jul 2019 #15

Did the male candidate make a half-truth attack on a fellow Democrat over his son's terminal cancer? emulatorloo Jul 2019 #22

The poster wasn't talking about whether she was telling the truth (which she was) or base theirsmear EffieBlack Jul 2019 #30

No it's exactly what she did. "Your words were hurtful" ? ucrdem Jul 2019 #31

why put quotation marks around false quotes? tishaLA Jul 2019 #47

Her actual words were "very hurtful." I shortened it. nt ucrdem Jul 2019 #50

Also an inaccurate quote with quotation marks around it. tishaLA Jul 2019 #54

Here's a link to the transcript. See for yourself: ucrdem Jul 2019 #56

NBC has a correct transcript tishaLA Jul 2019 #59

NBC: "I was actually very -- it was hurtful" nt ucrdem Jul 2019 #61

Right. So your corrected "quote" tishaLA Jul 2019 #65

I'm glad we cleared that up . ucrdem Jul 2019 #77

*1, She also shows she knows where she is going low by R B Garr Jul 2019 #85

I said nothing of the sort. Stop putting words in my mouth I didn't say. emulatorloo Jul 2019 #32

I mixed you up with Emmaverybo - very similar handles - my apologies EffieBlack Jul 2019 #36

Thanks. Consider self-deleting. emulatorloo Jul 2019 #41

when I had a wee bit too much vino I almost did the same thing (mix you and Emmaverybo up) too Celerity Jul 2019 #84

Yeah the vino is great but can play tricks on us! emulatorloo Jul 2019 #89

You are saddling another poster with my comment. NT emmaverybo Jul 2019 #37

I stand by my comment. Call sexism all you want. NT emmaverybo Jul 2019 #40

Kamala isn't stupid. She knew what she was doing. It's not sexist to call someone on it. 58Sunliner Jul 2019 #68

Did he use his son's cancer to attack another candidate? Did he make that candidate responsible emmaverybo Jul 2019 #28

Harris used a hyper-emotional tone of voice that I now feel was fake to make a "you hurt me" highplainsdem Jul 2019 #33

Lol EffieBlack Jul 2019 #42

I never said she was angry and speaking loudly. I don't remember seeing anyone say that. And I highplainsdem Jul 2019 #43

I didn't say you said that. EffieBlack Jul 2019 #44

I'm not "falling for" anything. My opinion of Harris's pre-planned attack was based highplainsdem Jul 2019 #45

She was, in fact, visibly angry. ucrdem Jul 2019 #46

Yes, of course she was EffieBlack Jul 2019 #48

Did you watch the debate? ucrdem Jul 2019 #49

I did. Did you? EffieBlack Jul 2019 #52

Yes, and you can review the exchange if you'd like to here: ucrdem Jul 2019 #57

And while you saw an angry black woman, I saw a woman speaking eloquently, firmly and calmly EffieBlack Jul 2019 #62

Fine, you saw what you saw. I saw the debate. nt ucrdem Jul 2019 #63

Are you suggesting... tonedevil Jul 2019 #100

There was no anger. betsuni Jul 2019 #78

Amazing isn't it? Some people... brush Jul 2019 #75

Actually Biden called Harris on her error, and it wasn't unforced. ucrdem Jul 2019 #76

Well that's one way of looking at it, but the fact remains that had Biden... brush Jul 2019 #94

Boy was not the issue at all. It was busing and he won that point. Harris was wrong. nt ucrdem Jul 2019 #95

It was in the original incident, which is the unforced error that led to it all. brush Jul 2019 #96

The original incident was last millennium. This was an ambush and it failed. nt ucrdem Jul 2019 #97

I'm talking about the incident 3 or so weeks ago when Biden evoked... brush Jul 2019 #98

We'll see. ucrdem Jul 2019 #99

Hmm..I see nothing about homophobia and SunsetDreams2 Jul 2019 #20

Homophobia alleged in another thread re: a comment Biden made praising social progress using emmaverybo Jul 2019 #64

I saw that and it's silly IMO SunsetDreams2 Jul 2019 #66

Well wow. You cut through a mountain of misunderstanding. Yeah, that was what he was saying. NT emmaverybo Jul 2019 #69

There will be more silly stuff for sure nt SunsetDreams2 Jul 2019 #72

It is silly season after all. 😊 emmaverybo Jul 2019 #74

Another Politico hit piece. Pure ratfcking mcar Jul 2019 #24

Harris has surged in polls since she called out Biden during last week's debate Lordquinton Jul 2019 #55

I wouldn't be surprised if this falloff has lless to do with the exchange during the debate and EffieBlack Jul 2019 #58

Where's the fall off? On DU? We are not "Biden folks" if you mean campaigners. In the polls? emmaverybo Jul 2019 #67

what ugly reaction from the some of Biden folks ? stonecutter357 Jul 2019 #104

Why does that sound so familiar? Tiggeroshii Jul 2019 #70

It was Watson Coleman from Corey Bookers SunsetDreams2 Jul 2019 #71
