Probably, but trying to see if those here who are all bent out of shape calling Trump a racist will call Kamala out on doing even worse.



Are you slut shaming?
Blowj*bs in exchange for power are a tale as old as time

Now she is playing up her (ethnic)Indian heritage -


I'm ok with that
Very few of us in this country descend from American Indians
Be proud and honest where your ancestors came from
1/2 my family come from China, the other 1/2 from Ireland
Where are you descended from AOS?

I refer to Indians from India as ethnic Indians
"American Indian" is an historical misnomer

Kamala Harris has revealed her campaign
slogan:

For The People

I fell asleep writing that. Could she have
picked a more bland, vanilla, meaningless
phrase? Matches her personality.

I just do not get the liberal fascination with what race people are.


They always have been. Go back 100
years and the KKK was all Dems. It
was Dems in the Civil War who owned
slaves and broke away from the Union.
It's Dems who fought the Civil Rights
Act. It's Dems who court minorities with
empty promises they never deliver on,
to keep them on the welfare rolls.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Ethnic Indian from the country of India


Kamala is not exactly a traditional Navajo name. But her campaign blurb refers to her as an African American.

Harris's parents divorced when she was seven, and her mother was granted custody of the children by court-ordered settlement.

Her father is a Jamaican born Stanford professor

Quote: PAID FOR BY KAMALA HARRIS FOR THE PEOPLE

MEET KAMALA

SPEAKING TRUTH, DEMANDING JUSTICE
Kamala D. Harris is a lifelong public safety and civil rights leader. Elected in 2016, she is the second African American woman in history to be elected to the U.S. Senate, and the first African American and first woman to serve as Attorney General of the state of California.

Throughout her career, Kamala has been a fearless advocate for the voiceless and vulnerable and a vocal and determined fighter on behalf of all people.

As U.S. Senator, Kamala introduced or co-sponsored legislation to provide sweeping tax cuts for the middle class, address the high cost of rent, raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour, make higher education tuition-free for the vast majority of Americans, reform the cash bail system, protect the legal rights of refugees and immigrants, and expand access to affordable, quality health care with Medicare for All.

Kamala has been a key voice in the fight to hold the Trump administration accountable, asking the tough questions on behalf of the American people. She serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Select Committee On Intelligence, and the Committee On Budget.

As California’s Attorney General, Kamala prosecuted transnational gangs that exploited women and children and trafficked in guns and drugs. She led comprehensive studies and investigations into the impacts of transnational criminal organizations and human trafficking.

Kamala achieved landmark results for middle-class Californians, by fighting the Wall Street banks and winning $20 billion for homeowners who were facing foreclosure during the Great Recession. She helped thousands of families stay in their homes and passed one of the nation’s strongest anti-foreclosure laws.

Kamala aggressively defended the rights of consumers, winning major settlements holding big corporations accountable and forging innovative agreements with the technology industry to protect the privacy of Californians and crack down against online crime. She successfully sued predatory for-profit colleges that scammed students and veterans, prosecuted big polluters, and defended the Affordable Care Act from partisan attacks.

Kamala has been at the forefront of major civil rights battles as well. She was proud to lead the team that helped bring down California’s Proposition 8 at the U.S. Supreme Court and to fight for marriage equality nationwide.
