I think it’s awesome that when she wins, she will not just be the first female VP, but have achieved all those other firsts at the same time!

[pjmvdbroek]

why this emphasis on her origins? She is simply incredibly competent.

"[Tyrants] injure and oppress the people under their administration, provoking them to cry out and complain, and then make that very outcry the foundation for new oppressions and persecutions."~Andrew Hamilton, 1735 (NOT Alexander Hamilton)

The Trial of John Peter Zenger for Libeling the Colonial Government in 1735 is why we have free speech and free press on this continent.

A transcript of the trial, which was a popular little book at the time, was in possession of Thomas Jefferson when drafting the Declaration of Independence and inspired the First Amendment to the Constitution.

This is a short section of the full transcript:

Kamala Harris - daughter of Jamaican born Stanford Professor in Economics (Father, he was a Marxist economist)) and a rich immigrant from India who got PhD in Microbiology at Berkley and was working in medical research (mother)- does it qualify her for African American status? Also, despite that she was coming from privileged environment of college educated professors, she got accepted into UCLA Law claiming that she was underprivileged African American. Her mother family was very well to do family in India and her grandfather was an important government official. Yet, she was accepted into UCLA Law ahead of poor white Americans from Appalachia, because allegedly she was discriminated. Was it right? Was it just? She got started in California politics because she was dating California Speaker of the House. Was it a nepotism? Now she might become a Vice-president of the USA after getting 2% of vote in Primaries.

[ginalibrizzi]

LOVE Kamala Harris. I’m so thrilled that she’s our next VP. Justice will be served!

[laura]

The last time I saw this many bots was on the last Transformers movie!

[annawarner]

Since when Kamala is African American? Her mother is Hindu from a very rich Indian family of civil servants and her father was from very rich Jamaican family. It looks that the times of reverse discrimination will start on January 23, 2021.

If America wants to paddle its own canoe; Joe Biden and Kamala Harris should be elected. If I were in the United States of America, I will vote for Biden and Harris.
