Obamas skin didn’t stop people from voting for him, but I’m not surprised the racism line is thrown out..
To the person who asked why Kamala is a bad candidate- the woman is less likeable than Biden. She often cackles like a witch when asked a seriously question by the media. She’s completely tone deaf. Just YouTube Kamala laughing.
Here she is responding to a journalist asking about Ukrainian refugees

It's the same shit they pulled with the Death Panels and Obamacare.
It's a real test of stupid if you still believe these people and/or like and repost it.

Did I say that?
Anecdotally I've heard she's highly regarded within the party, especially for 2028. Maybe she could be the one to emerge in an open convention. I'd take her and an international affairs experienced Senator or Representative as veep. Like getting Gore to go with Obama.
What exactly has he or his admin gotten wrong? Yes we know Israel is not popular, but what actual policies or legislation?
I've said it before, one he has chosen some good people. Two, ee also doesn't have to perform when sitting in Oval Office meetings. He can listen, give his opinion, make a decision and it gets done. He's been in and around the OO for a long time, and knows how the sausage gets made in (a normal) Congress. Apparently he's killing it with the oil reserve business, he got the infrastructure (that's so popular with deplorables) passed, got a handle on inflation (which was inevitable to get the economy back after covid) better than any other country IIRC. And I think there were some other things in his plus column.
No monkeying about like the previous guy.
Oh, but he is divisive! I don't get this one. What, he doesn't cave to MAGA nuts, or J6 crims? Immigration, didn't he substantially keep the old policy? Not my area, but he did cave to the GOP demands for a new policy with their terms and they refused it. Is that the divisive thing? I'd really like to know this one.

She is also loathed by sections of the black community because of her conduct as a judge.
I don't actually know, it's feel thing I guess. She was 2 term AG of CA, 1 term Senator, then VP. Similar to Obama except that he was civil rights lawyer, state senator, US senator, then POTUS.
I couldn't feel any inspiration watching her in the primaries. She not charismatic. She's a bit like Haley in that way, a bit plastic. I don't feel she's a natural leader from what I've seen. But its a small sample size, which is part of the problem.
She is the establishment's choice for sure.

Agree with the sentiment but the problem is that Australia will be weakened by a weakened US, so as desirable as it is, we can't actually have nothing to do with the US going forward.
It's something that the cookers here (and geez, aren't they out in force today) fail to realise. If you think it will make no difference to your life, then you might be surprised by what happens if Trump is elected. Everyone here is a member of a superannuation fund. If there is a shock to the US markets, a genuine possibility if he gets in, that will flow through to Australia and your superannuation balance ...

Here's the thing. We all know that being POTUS isn't a youngsters' game. We've seen how it aged Obama from an energetic man with nary a grey follicle to a man that looked completely drained of vigor and a head full of grey hair. But there also needs to have an upper age limit. Two guys who should not be the candidates running the country. One is a megalomaniac who's more unhinged than a bag of rats in a meth lab, the other is so incoherent that he makes two former presidents from the south sound intelligent.
Just to be clear I am not suggesting lock both of them in nursing homes, but they should not be the candidates to one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful position in not only USA but the world.
I said before "Good luck USA" but really it should also be brace yourself and gird your loins to the rest of the world.
Not even God can help us now.

Because a lot of Americans just aren't ready for a woman president. Especially if they sub her in for Biden this late. If they had set this up so that Biden would be a one term president and then transitioning to Kamala it might have worked, but if they swap Biden out now unless they have someone exceptional in mind they will get smashed.
Both Biden and Trump failed. Bidens job was to not appear too old, he failed. Trumps was not to be a lying campaigner, he failed.
This is not Trump vrs Biden, but Trump vrs Not Trump. Trump has rusted on support that would vote for him if he bashed a puppy to death on national TV. Biden has no support, just those who would vote for anybody but Trump.
There is a vast group of voters between these two extremes, from disgruntled republications though independents to annoyed democrats who might just decide not to vote. Their votes were left on table by both.
A draw? No, Trump has the advantage if Biden cannot get some positive attraction. If this was Australia, the democrats would sack Biden this week. But for various reasons which in the end amount to money, not likely in the US.

Kamala manages to impressively have little support on both sides of politics.
She won't get much of the conservative vote as a woman of colour.
But the left don't exactly love her either (identity politics aside), mainly due to her empty middle of the road stance of a lot of issues, her history as a prosecutor and her general presence being seen by most as insincere and dull.
In one of many acts of barbarism overnight, the Supreme Court has ruled that cities are allowed to enforce bans on homeless people sleeping outside, even if shelter space is lacking.
I raise it here because of this quote from the article, and to use it to dispel this nonsense about Gavin Newsom being anything other than a detestable slimeball.
In California, which is home to one-third of the country’s homeless population, Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom said the decision gives state and local officials the authority to clear “unsafe encampments” from the streets while acting with compassion. “This decision removes the legal ambiguities that have tied the hands of local officials for years,” he said.

Bullying in her office allegations, some early blunders but mostly Biden doesnt seem to have trusted her with anything important and she has no profile or record to rely on as such.
