I just watched Kamala Harris' speech in Washington, after Biden dropped out of the presidential race, and I want to say, I love the sound of democracy from a young presidential candidate who hasn't been convicted of 34 crimes, who isn't wearing a weird toupee urine-colored and with a voice that sounds like a creepy ventriloquist's dummy. A young presidential candidate who doesn't just talk about crazy conspiracy theories. A candidate who does not praise dictators like Putin and Xi but at the same time insults the working class, threatening to cut their healthcare to favor millionaires like Elon Musk, by cutting their taxes. I love the sound of democracy, coming from a strong woman like Kamala Harris. I vote for democracy and justice, I vote for Kamala Harris

If Trump is too much of a coward to debate Kamala, how can he be trusted to stand up to foreign leaders when our national interests are on the line? Kamala 2024!

He made a written statement? That must've been a handler. He was probably told he lost the race but gave it a good run. 😅

Imagine this being Trump . . it would be all about him and not the sport people!

Congrats US for getting at least one deacent candidate.

I don’t know if I should mention this but she would have troubles in Finnish politics. When the crowd is shouting Kamala, Kamala, Kamala that means bad, bad bad in Finnish.

-…This is what VP Kamala Harris, should tell trump at their debate:
Donnie, your statements and actions have crossed legal boundaries. As a prosecutor, I am committed to upholding justice, and I assure you that such behavior will not go unpunished. You will go to prison bad boy!

`Trump, left to his own social media devices (...)`

[billross]

Wow, a good public speaker and communicator. Refreshing.

EVERYTHING IS STUPID! Internet facts.... products in stores or online.... Censorship rules in social media. Everything is so fkng DUMB nowadays!

[KeystoneInvestigations]

Harris has a worse time putting a coherent sentence together than Biden ever did!

[jwscshk]

Waking up, she finds herself a presidential candidate like Zelensky.
From that innocent, foolish face and laughter, global chaos is evident.

[Ravi-rebt]

I can't stand her smile or whatever that is 😢

[SC]

Lying not even 30 seconds into her speaking 😂 unmatched accomplishment?! When in doubt, lie it out

At least she wasn't drunk this time.

That's a good start.

Great idea, elect a president based on DEI. LMAO Great quote from Harris, truly inspirational: "When We Talk About the Children of the Community, They Are a Children of the Community"

[lindat]

This must be a joke... she's the best they have?? I'm a Democrat and disgusted with my party.
