Members Khan Posted August 11, 2020 Members Share Posted August 11, 2020 I'm ending my self-imposed exile to say I, too, am excited about the news. Kamala Harris had my vote forever when she rained fire on Brett Kavanaugh at his confirmation hearings. As I learned that day, hell hath no fury like a Black woman with questions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted August 11, 2020 Author Administrator Share Posted August 11, 2020 Awesome news! Having a Jamaican-Indian-American woman as VP would be really cool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted August 11, 2020 Members Share Posted August 11, 2020 This is wonderful news. I find it laughable that the far left is melting down. Now we just have to hope that the the incredibly amount of misogyny in this society doesn't sink us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 11, 2020 Members Share Posted August 11, 2020 Khaaaaannnn! So glad to see you post. Some time off from social is often necessary but are you alright? Just as long as you're doing okay. My mom is so thrilled! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 11, 2020 Members Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) @Khan good to see you post again. We'd hoped you were OK. I'm going to have to cut back my social media time because all those who are just rabid dogs against Kamala Harris will be in overdrive. I do think she is a smart pick and I think she would make a wonderful VP and President. I hope we get to see that happen. I was also glad to see this: Edited August 11, 2020 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wendy Posted August 11, 2020 Members Share Posted August 11, 2020 This is where I'm at, and it pains me to say so as a woman myself. But let's face it: Geraldine Ferraro didn't work in 1984 for Walter Mondale, Sarah Palin most definitely sunk McCain [but I completely understand THAT!], and Hillary's presidential bid went splat. Seems voters don't mind women as Senators or members of the House or even leading it (Hi, Nancy Pelosi!) But there seems to be historic pushback whenever a woman dares to aim even higher. While I am glad that Joe Biden committed to picking a woman as VP, a part of me is very worried that very act may have just given us Trump again for another 4 years, killing the nation. Sexism - like racism - is real in the US and sadly still prevalent. I pray I'm wrong this time! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 11, 2020 Members Share Posted August 11, 2020 misogyny, misogynoir, xenophobia, etc. Kamala has had to deal with this for years, which I believe has steeled her resolve. Personally, I've had to deal with all of these as well, so, although I don't plan on exposing myself to toxic comments in media, I will not wilt in the face of it either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 12, 2020 Members Share Posted August 12, 2020 Ferraro and Palin were also terrible nominees. I'm not sure what will happen this time, especially given how many on the left who are itching to support Trump hate Harris, but I feel like most of this is going to be on Trump. Biden is probably the most risk averse nominee Democrats could have chosen. Another VP nominee may have helped, but with Russian interference and so much division on the left, anyone Biden chose would be polarizing and get a negative response. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted August 12, 2020 Members Share Posted August 12, 2020 I'm actually cautiously optimistic, but when Trump was elected despite having so many sexual assault allegations against him it really opened my eyes to where women still stand in society. Obviously, black women have it even harder, but maybe this will end up being a step in the right direction. I guess we have to root for Chinese interference to combat Russian interference. It's unreal that this is where things stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 12, 2020 Members Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Chinese interference is why "Kampala Harris" was trending on Twitter. Frankly, I wouldn't hold out too much hope. Thanks for all the love and concern. I'm okay. I'm going through some personal issues at the moment, but I'm taking it all one day at a time.
