Kamala Harris

[tallslenderguy]

Here's some info on Kamal Harris for those wanting to round out their knowledge of her. i'm really liking the way she is comporting herself... it's so nice to see someone running for the office with a quick wit. And background in the political arena. i like that she is not a complete outsider, but brings minority perspectives as a woman, black and Indian American.  Really feeling positive about a presidential candidate that have not felt in years.

Thank you for correctly stating this.

But I'm NOT voting for her just because her paternal grandmother was a black Jamaican.

Glad to read that, nor am i.  

me eiither.  Skin color or family origin are not on my criteria list of potential presidential candidates. Personally, i don't think they should be for anyone. Political agenda, character, intelligence seem a lot more relevant to me.

Never that! Never vote, hire, promote ... someone only for the fact they belong to [random underrepresented group]

it would be the other side of discrimination (NOT vote/hire/etc... for the same reasons).

If Harris shows to have good political agenda and, overall, gets enough votes, she'll be president. 

I could tell you about many many women voting for "the first woman prime-minister" and the disaster she's making around...

I say nothing else.

Well said.  Sometimes a business-owner has to do a bit of legwork to find the "right" person for whatever position he's offering, but if it comes down to two "finalists", two people that can reasonably be expected to perform well, the job should go to an underrepresented/underprivileged person. 

That was my practice for many years, and I never had so much as one reason to regret it.  Talk is cheap; it's what we do that counts.  The "problem" employees were always the ones that felt they were "entitled" to more than their work-product allowed.

Yes, it's the same way of thinking I have; choosing the "underrepresented" must consider their performance as well.

But in politics, like in this specific case, their background is very, very important - and for "background" I mean culture, family, way of think and reason...

Harris is in politics for years, she has many religious points of view in her family, so this SHOULD indicate or at least hope, that her politic agenda respects everyone without looking at just one idea (christian rather than other).

On the other side, I find Donald Trump a dangerous fanatic.

It's interesting she has not mentioned any religious affiliation, beliefs, etc, (that I know of, anyway) nor should she.  Religious beliefs are a private thing, and should only be evident via that person's behavior, if evident at all.  No one automatically has "quality", "value" via mere religious beliefs (or lack of them). 

What counts is what they do.  Harris has a long history of bringing the unjust to justice, activity in progressive causes, and if that's a result of some religious beliefs, fine.  She  doesn't need to broadcast her religious beliefs (if any); it's what she's already done and can therefore be expected to do in the future that counts.  

To my mind, Kamela Harris exponentially outclasses the other side (which, admittedly, is not a tough task).

I totally agree. 

Think of Italian prime minister for example. She's the first prime minister woman, and her campaign is by screaming "I'm Giorgia, I'm a woman, I'm Italian, I'm Christian" - and against the fake "gender theory", against LGBT community... 

And her opponent, Italian-swiss woman, screams back "I'm a woman, I'm not a mother, I love another woman"...

But WTF! 

This is NOT politics IMHO. Can I say it though, from all what I hear about US elections, I never saw Biden or Obama or now Harris, scream and claim their private "belongings".

The one who screams is Donald.

it's always about jailing al capone for taxes. 

nobody, including Comey, gave a shit about Hillary's emails. it's the excuse they used to take her down because they hated her policies. 

are we liberals ONLY disliking Thomas and Kavanaugh because they me2 women? no, we hate their politics are are looking for something to stick to stop their success. 

i doubt j d vance cares how many cats Kamala has. just desperate spaghetti thrown against the wall hoping some loony voter uses as an excuse not to vote for the liberal.
