She put over 1, 500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana.

People with children have ALWAYS gotten a tax break, this is nothing new.

You can change the clown 🤡 but it doesn't change the circus

Too bad they didn’t let their voters endorse who they wanted to.

ABC, NBC, CBS, MSN and CNN can always be counted on by the democratic party.

I was not planning on voting, now I have to vote just to keep that out. go figure

[The-Big-Cheesey]

Why is Obama still floating around? I guess he wants a 4th term

[bebouswirl]

Oh, and also remember when she randomly "got a call" from Joe Biden while she was jogging about being selected to be President and how real and genuine that was? And also do you remember they never showed her jogging again? Like ever?

[Happyharold]

Well! In that case! I’m DEFINITELY NOT VOTING FOR HER!👍

Nah madam VP, The engineering behind your rise to the top is just too creative and it assumes that we the people are stupid.

How fucking cute. Disgusting pandering. INSTALLED!!!

[aidn]

After all, she is “the most beautiful attorney general”

[ironhorse]

They had the conversation, Obama told her who she will pick, and how he will be in charge behind the scenes. In other words, his 4th term.

[aaronwilson]

She is so far left it truly scares me. I just can’t bring myself to vote for her. The rest of my family feels this way also. She’s just to radical for us all

[thevoiceofreason]

Obama: You'll puppet for my 4th term, or you'll end up like my Chef.

Harris: I can't swim, so I'm in (insert Hyena laugh).

[ImperfectD]

They HAD to show her on a call with Michelle first, then Barack, then HAD to include Beyoncé in this.

This is all strategic biases to make her look good after everyone hated her beforehand.

This is all one big joke.

[chinocampos]

He did not endorse her the first time when she ran for president.

[southernutahlivingwashingt]

Be honest about her record and stop scrubbing it. She is extreme. She would be disasterous to our country. I hope anyone who votes for her wants HIGH taxes and no safety

Explain to me how taking somebody's property is bringing back freedom
