"what we can be, unburdened by what has been" is going to be consuming the media zeitgeist for weeks to come

THANK YOU
HARRIS FOR
OPEN BOARDERS AND EXTREME WOKE

Talking about the significance of the passage of time, right, the significance of the passage of time. So, when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time

She is outside the American political mainstream on every issue.

[stevenw]

The debates are going to be fun! Think " Thunderdome " !

Her first task was the border…which was and is an absolute disaster!

[jacobsteele]

Dated married Willie Brown to meet the powerbokers of California politics. Left that out.

[chrischoir]

I can imagine what will be, unburdened by what was !

she withheld evidence in simple marijuana possession cases to further her career

[mickiewilbanks]

Let the media Kamalaflaging begin. Gonna be hard to spin those word salads!! 😂

[danasmith]

All you need to know is that she said the border is secure, this is not material for a president

[sissonstewart]

People from CA know how her policies as DA hurt Blacks, how she was held in contempt by a judicial panel for keeping nonviolent prisoners locked up, and how she prosecuted a mentally ill woman who was shot by the police. She's a horrible choice.

It's been amusing watching those who believed that Biden didn't stand a chance against Trump earnestly promoting the viability of Harris's candidacy. It's like 2020 primaries never happened for them.

[mufasamufufu-rjti]

We know she's UNBURDEN
And we also know that she truly believes WAKANDA FOEVAH is real

[lacarpetrondukemarriott]

Why did they take my choice from me for a second time!! HOW IS THIS DEMOCRACY!?!?

[BetterTextLex]

So there isn’t a single thing to know about Harris that is critical or controversial? Journalism is dead. What a joke.

[TheZødiacReturns]

This woman didn’t even come close to deserving to be the presidential candidate. Many people destroyed her during the 2020 primaries.

[MakapoluEsq]

Unburdened by what has been… WTF 😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[anonymous-wgrz]

Suprisingly no talks about border under biden harris where she was inchrge

[czechit]

They threw everyone at Trump... now they pull this.... LOL
