I’ve said about her.

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

+1 Lisa0825 Jul 2019 #39

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

... emulatorloo Jul 2019 #17

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

It's politics. People talk shit about each other all the time. IluvPitties Jul 2019 #79
