Coconut Drop

As recently as today, Kamala has reversed her previous position and no longer supports the following:

Which means she resembles Biden even more since I first wrote this.

Joe's never been a great speaker. Of the 2020 Democratic primary candidates Biden is almost the worst and most uninspiring guy on stage. Biden not just unappealing in presentation. In substance he's living embodiment of the default setting for the DNC machine.

That's why Biden was on the Obama ticket. Thanks for Obamacare and gay marriage, but on many issues Obama and Biden are match made in hell. Both show talent at deporting immigrants, civilian surveillance, and waging proxy war. Democrats do much of the same fashy shit Republicans want... but sometimes Democrats are actually better at it.

Not only are the dems better at doing war and ejecting immigrants, but few liberals give a shit while they do it. Few liberals will protest kids in cages with a democrat in the whitehouse, but the kids are still in cages. Obama said he'd close Gitmo; Yall forgot it's still around. We continue to outsource colonialism and genocide, most notably in Palestine. New Covid strains are still arriving in waves. Police funding and murder still increasing. Roe is now dead.

But what pisses Democrats off more than any of this?: poor debate performance!

He's probably not all there. But amazingly, Biden is president right fucking now. Look at him go! I have every confidence Biden's administration and whatever combination of handlers would continue to deliver us an Authentic Biden Experience, given the opportunity. They are doing so now, as you are reading. If team Regan could do it, team Biden can.

Now we have Kamala Harris... now everyone's excited. When she's so very similar to Biden politically.

Ugh.

One of their biggest points of similarity is their history of tough-on-crime campaigns. With her prosecutor experience, probably Kamala will be much more effective at helping cops do cop stuff compared to Biden. Her actual cred from working with law enforcement might help her pick up pro-cop swing voters.

“Republicans are weird” is working. I expect more smart moves like this. Congrats yall, I'm sure she will do much better in debates, I know that's what you really want. Democrats are so fucking shallow...

I still don't want Trump to win so, maybe it's just good we have a better chance he'll lose.

My partner agrees Kamala and Biden are overwhelmingly similar. He's slightly less fatalistic about the dems, so more sensitive to them, and made some good points on their potential for differences in actual policy.

Gun control: Biden has shown unambiguous disinterest in this. I do not know if she's had any victories on this front, but Kamala's rhetoric against guns is much stronger.

Abortion: She says all the same things as Biden and other democrats. But since Biden and Obama ignored their codify Roe campaign promises... there's a hope she might follow through when they did not.

That's it! If you have another one, based on their campaign promises and policy decisions, I'd truly like to know.

I was going to analyze how race effects her image, too. Trump's recent comments have made that even more relevant. I'm running out of motivation and it deserves more detailed treatment. But obviously that's a huge part of this. I don't want to deny anybody joy because possibility a black woman will be president. At the very least, this morale boost is a positive prospect.
