Dear Josephus,

Why are you giving a link from the "socialistalternative"
website on Kamala Harris? They are a Trotskyist
organization.

Mr Opinion,

I prefer to read scholarly articles on issues.
Dictionaries are too narrow and limiting in their
definitions.

Foxy,

And to think I had such high hopes for you. I'm so disappointed. Next you will be telling us that The Oxford English Dictionary is full of nonsense words and that we should ignore it.

Just because I welcome everyone with a big Aussie "Ni Hao!" doesn't mean I'm Russian.
Mt Opinion,
You'd better change that to "Knee deep" by the way things are going !

Kamala Harris's selection is a nod to the fruity extreme left whinge. I assume that this to enable Biden to focus on the center rather than his previous drift to the far left.

"Will Harris help Biden? Her mother was Indian, from Tamil Nadu; her father Jamaican. She is hailed as the first African-American vice-presidential candidate.

In choosing Senator Kamala Harris as his vice-presidential running mate, Joe Biden made the right choice from a weak field. Harris is one of the most left-liberal-voting senators in the US. She is as woke as folk, embraces every silliness of identity politics. She favours trillions of dollars of new taxes, supports the Green New Deal and carbon-neutral America, a recipe for national bankruptcy. She would end fracking, which now provides the lion’s share of US energy. She likes to censor political opponents, demanding that Twitter prevent Donald Trump from publishing his tweets.

Though she wants to take some money away from police forces, she is not, formally, a supporter of “defund the police”. (Neither is Biden because defunding the police is literally insane.) Already murder rates are rising in big cities such as New York and Chicago, while legitimate anti-racism protests have been converted into violent riots and looting in cities such as Portland and Seattle. If the presidential race is close, and polls show a recent, slight improvement for Trump, law & order will be a huge factor."

"Kamala Harris's selection is a nod to the fruity extreme left whinge." The type of comment you get from a right wing ratty who believes if anyone isn't right of Adolph Hitler they must be from the extreme left.

Looks like I'm the only one (with my two points above) to come up with a reason for the Democrats' choice of Kamala Harris as Biden's running mate.

Can anyone come up with a third reason?
