Who's here after Kamala Harris was picked as Joe Biden's VP?

"I don't want my children to grow up in a jungle, a racial jungle" - Joe 'You-ain't-black' Biden on the topic of desegregation of schools in 1977.

I really want everyone to know something I just found out as a Californian:
Kamala haris here is criticizing Biden for not forcibly busing kids from their neighborhoods to whiter neighborhoods to make them more diverse (which i personally find absurd) and Biden (reasonably) defends he has always been against segregation but not forcing diversity like haris.
Well turns out that throughout all of Harris' tenure as attorney general, a school district not only in California, but in her own bay area recieved multiple issues of actual segregation and it wasnt investigated until the month she left to become senator.
As a Californian and bay area resident, for gods sake, do not elect her for anything in the near future

Federal school mandatory busing was a horrible idea. What in the world is Harris talking about. Biden should not agree with forced busing of children either.

Busing was mandated by the Department of Education because many states were still failing to implement Brown vs. School Board of Topeka many years after that Supreme Court decision. These states had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the era of desegregation. To believe that "voluntary busing" would ever come about is just stupid. To now say he was all for court-ordered mandatory busing in a school district which had still not desegregated is a little too cute, and how is it different if a Department of Education mandates it instead of a court?

Enough about busing and let's start talking about present and policies that will change the current situtation.

These are the pressing issues the DNC is debating.

She is in favor of forced bussing? No thanks.

[cornpop]

Joe was shocked she pulled the pit bull routine like he didnt realize as frontrunner it was coming

[indianajones]

While this is an issue, Are there not far greater issues going on in our nation?!

[ednarodriguez]

Kamala took it too far. She needs to chill. Biden, don"t worry, I stand by u!

[CaliforniaMISC]

[krisradjpaul]

He can spin it any which way but facts are facts.

[LeonardoCostaUSA]

[cutiepie]

Someone agree if you think kamala looks evil.

[thelarry]

why are any of these clowns acting like they can beat trump and why is the media trying hush bernie again?

[VickieEdmondson]

It was so painful for her that she became his Vice President! Does that make any sense?

[ed]

Why are we talking about something that happened half a century ago.

[GG-mriz]

I think in the 21st century we have more urgent issues to address.. I don’t like this approach by Kamala Harris...

[HawaiianBrian]

Neither will be POTUS - so this is not important.
