Kamala Kameleon
My reaction to Kamala Harris as VP
I dislike Kamala and fear her both with equal fire. First, I dislike her for her craven mendacity and her phoniness. She is Barack Obama with a perm. She signed onto Medicare For All when it looked like it was the most expedient thing to do, she even co-sponsored the bill, but then she backed away from it once the Clinton donors in the Hamptons told her to. And that ploy with the “little girl” gimmick, the T-shirts, etc. was purely theatrical.
Kamala could never could explain why she was running. She constantly changed her positions, and she seemed to have a new campaign slogan daily. She is just a black female Mayor Pete who is running for POTUS not to do anything, not to accomplish anything, not even to stand for anything. Like her role model Obama, she is running purely out of ego and a drive for self-aggrandizement.
And I fear her for the horrible damage she can do. Wall Street is rejoicing at her being named, and that is enough for me to be scared. It means more bipartisan fuckery aimed squarely at the working class. I suppose those Wall Streeters remember when Kamala did a solid for their boy, Mnuchin.
It seems many may not care about her record, but I am sure that there are a lot of people who got foreclosed on who would have liked to have seen OneWest pay. And there are probably a lot of prisoners…
