It Is Such A Weird Pick

Biden picked Kamala Harris as his running mate and this just seems weird to me. Besides the fact that she dropped out of the race before the first primary and had no support and no votes is the first part.
Then Biden said she was African-American. But she is not. She is Indian and Jamaican.
At the same time, while the left is tearing down statues of slave owners in American history...
Kamala Harris' family owned five plantations in Jamaica and had over 200 slaves.
What in the hell is the message?
Biden's pick is an Indian-Jamaican woman who had no support whatsoever from the democrat party, who's ancestry was slave ownership?
I am at a loss for words.

She is qualified; but other than that, I don't know why he picked her. Have a wonderful Thursday.

@LindaOHio It's unfortunate that most people know very little about the candidates across the board, and that's across both aisles. There is so much misinformation out there and far too many people who run to the polls not knowing who or what they are actually voting for.
Take this election. Most people MUST know that the REAL candidate for president is actually Harris since Biden is essentially unfit for office. He will either die or become incapacitated in some way in his first year and perhaps even sooner.
There is strong evidence to suggest he is suffering from dementia, and that will put Harris straight into the Captain's chair. So it is important, really, for people in THIS case to study hard who Harris is before they pull the trigger thinking Biden will actually be the guy at the helm.
I honestly do not think it matters. At the end of they day I think all signs point to another 4 years of Trump.

Haven't you heard? The only reason to vote democrat is because you hate Trump. Their policies don't matter let alone ability. It drives me crazy that people are choosing to see this election as a popularity contest. This isn't American Idol or Dancing with the Stars!!! What fools.
I can respect anybody who votes based on individual beliefs no matter who that is. But to base it off stubborn ignorance??? Ticks my turnips!
As a side note I don't care what her ancestors did, that is neither here nor there. Sins of the father have kept the middle east in turmoil for centuries. We don't need to copy that. Now the fact that she's only chasing power/fame/money is a legit concern. No moral principal at all.

@porwest Yes, he has done more than anyone I can remember. He is the only one who has actually done the things he ran on, the things he promised for America. For years and decades many have made promises and done the exact opposite or ignored their campaign promises.
So I don't care how he sounds, I don't care what he tweets and I don't care if he is 'orange man bad'. What he has accomplished is nothing less than amazing and we need him in office to make some of those things stick or the far left WILL undo them and sell us out. There is still a lot to do.
I used think it was all a bunch of conspiracy crap but not anymore. It's all right out in the open and the far left are making it very clear what they intend. Anyone for that really should move to another country where they already have all that. Then they will see why people flee those countries.

You touched on something here that I think is very important. Something I always say is that one should NEVER, and I mean NEVER vote for the person. Always vote for the POLICY. I try to tell people, "Forget what you THINK of Trump as a person. Forget what you think about his tweets. Forget what you think about how he talks, how he walks, forget all of that stuff. Look at the POLICY. Ask yourself if you think his POLICIES are and have been effective. More importantly, put aside your bias and be HONEST about whether you think the policies are effective."
I mean, if you want to talk bad character, think of Clinton, right? But was he mostly effective as a president? Were his policies mostly at least toward the center? Yes. So, I have to at least give credence to his policies, even though I did not agree with all of them. Had I voted THE MAN, sure, I'd have not voted for him. Or not supported him.
You are exactly right when you say most people are not voting for Biden. They are voting against Trump. But they are NOT voting against his policies. They are voting against THE MAN. I think anyone would have to be a fool not to be able to recognize how effective Trump's policies have been.
As for 'what the ancestors did' thing, I TOTALLY agree with you. 99.9% of conservatives agree with you. BUT, when there is SO MUCH focus by the dems and by the left about this sort of thing, tearing down statues, wanting to change names of buildings, calling everyone who disagrees with liberal policy racists...
You almost HAVE TO hold them to the water differently on this.

@Susan2015 Trump has done quite a lot, and perhaps even more than any other president in our history. It is a shame that so much good can be happening in a time when we needed it the most, and so many in the media simply brush it aside. Especially the left itself. We finally did a lot of things they have wanted to happen for decades, and only because THEY did not accomplish it, now it's all worthless garbage. One is left just scratching their head.

Wow, I didn't know it and I am sure a lot of people didn't know. It will come out, even by mudslinging.

At the end of the day the left has NO IDEA what they stand for, they have no idea who their people are, and they rely on the media being on their side so the truth never actually gets to come out. It's sad. But it is how it works now. They do not report news anymore. They present narratives.

I have no idea why or when did the US citizens coin the African-American thingy. Why do they mix race with citizenship and why is race so important.

@porwest When I think of my own heritage ((very common in the Americas where there have been immigrants during centuries), I bet that in the US you could easily make a mixture with Gay, Latino, Black, LGBTQ AND more in one person. K. Harris seems to be American but not African. And many African American have never had slaves in their ancestry (like president Obama) although he is as much Black as he is White.

Race isn't important to probably 70% of us. The rest are democrats, mass media and a few racist groups.

@marguicha I will second what @Namelesss said but also point out that the democrat party FOR YEARS has been in the business of separating everyone into groups. Gay, Latino, Black, LGBTQ and so on and so forth. The democrat party always suggests that republicans are divisive. But when you hear republicans talk about people, they talk about the American people as a collective. Not as this group or that group.
