    No matter the candidate, the massive center "No Party" independents will need to be swayed.

    "HIGHLIGHTS

    • As of March 2024, 45 million registered voters in these areas identified themselves as Democrats. At 38.28%, Democrats represented the single largest share of registered voters in the states and territories that allow voters to indicate partisan affiliation on their registration forms.
    • A total of 35.7 million registered voters identified themselves as Republicans, representing 30.35% of registered voters in these areas.

    'Victims’ lawyers said Harris’ office also resisted informal requests to help them with their cases, at a time when other district attorneys or their staff members were making themselves available.

    “Of all the DAs in the Bay Area, she’s the only one who wouldn’t cooperate with us,” said Rick Simons, an attorney who was the court-appointed coordinator for clergy abuse cases filed in Northern California, as well as Piscitelli’s personal lawyer.'

    Why it would take Obama a whole additional week to finally endorse her is odd.

    Not really odd, the DNC works through a whole cadre of selectors. After the primaries, the people who actually get to vote are the wealthy Democrat donors, they get half the vote, then at the convention do the actual voters (the people) get half of the votes through a group of representatives (Clinton, Pelosi, Newsom etc).

    Typically everyone kind of follows what the voters say, but they don't have to, at all, which they didn't do in this case, as Biden was already "elected" in the primaries, so he should be the candidate that is nominated.

    What the Pelosi's of this world opine about has nothing at all to do with how the candidates are nominated. The Obama's had hoped there would be sufficient resistance to the Pelosi/Biden camp to dark horse someone else (probably Michelle) at the convention, however as I said before, (now Jill and Hunter) Biden has 50 years worth of dead bodies in their closet, as do Clinton and Pelosi which grants significant pull in the party which someone like Obama cannot compete with. Had Biden not endorsed Kamala (as the Obama staff writers didn't want to do, as is evident from the first Biden letter), then Obama would have had a chance for a 4th and 5th term.

    And for those that don’t believe me. Seymour Hersch, investigative journalist and a Washington insider said Obama called Biden the morning after his mysterious LA visit (he kind of disappeared, probably due to health crisis) and told him to step down telling him “I have given permission for Kamala to invoke the 25th amendment”.

    That is the kind of backstabbing that went on in the White House.

    Indeed, the backstabbing is not surprising after all.

    After watching clips of the 'Twerking for Kamala' presidential rally in Georgia, I found myself nearly becoming depressed.

    However, kamala's team knew what they were doing and for all intents and purposes it worked. People voting above everything based on identity politics simply dug in their heels after twerking along with those dancers.

    This is to say, that in truth, this entire country's government in modern times is completely responsible for creating this possibility where twerking is now an acceptable method of campaigning for the office of the United States of America. Both parties are at fault in various degrees, and if Kamala twerks her way to the oval office then we deserve it as a nation in the end.

    When Kamala hits Indian TV, she’s Indian. When she rolls up in Atlanta, she’s Black. Politicians call this code-switching. We used to call this lying.

    My folks emigrated to the UK in December 1963 from Cyprus, I was born a few months later in a Midlands town. Am I British or Cypriot? Let me tell you, I identify as both.

    Harris was born to an Indian mother and Jamaican father. You can be two things, it's not complicated.

    Simon, you and I have been posting here for over two decades and I think the only thing we've ever disagreed on is Trump.

    That's fine, we aren't kids.
