"Us" is who? Liberals? Please keep common sense minded fools out of "us." One of the worst movies of all times, "2004 Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2" is a far better way to pass time than to dream that Kamala is nirvana. It's only nirvana for conservatives, who know that Kamala is no different than roadkill Joe Biden. Her extreme, cackling platform will rot on the road like decaying roadkill and end up in landfill where it belongs.

I believe that most Harris supporters ignore the fact, or are simply unaware, how she rose to the high level positions that she attained. It all began with Speaker Brown, a married man, with whom she was romantically involved, to defeat the SF DA by the name of Hallinan. Hallinan was going to investigate questionable business dealings in Brown's case and maneuvered Harris to replace Hallinan in the next election. Sure enough, Harris dropped all charges in this case that implicated Brown. Just one example of her allegiance to the crooked world of politics. Now, do we really want this severely compromised person to become our President? All she has going for her is the biased news media, her race and her gender. What else?

Dirk, you crack me up. "Halinan was going to investigate questionable business dealings in Brown's case"?? Well, did he or didn't he? As for Brown "manuevering" Harris to replace Halinan, what does that even mean? She actually had to win an election... and did so, by 8 points. If Brown supported her, so what? Halinan had the lowest conviction rate of any DA in California, something which, unlike your spurious claims, is readily verifiable. I'm really waiting for the GOP to take up your hot scoop about the "dropped charges" for the unspecified imaginary business dealings that Halinan may or may not have ever gotten around to ever investigating. You could be the key to their battleground strategy. Stay strong.

I trust your crack up was not debilitating. Interesting is that my points are considered spurious but yours are factual. Wake up to politics. Without the Brown political machine, Ms. Harris would have never gotten even close to beating Hallinan. His record was atrocious and hers did not improve on it. That does not detract from the positions that the Brown machine secured for her. That, of course, extended into Secretary of State and a Senator position. She is the recipient of a well-oiled political machine that has dominated our State and not necessarily for the benefit of most of us. I shudder to think what she could do to replicate her and her machine's policies for the country. You seem to have a problem with connecting the dots, but that is typical of cultist Democrats.
