Fun fact about black people. They talk differently around white people or at work or any Situation that calls for it. Literally  every black person. Google code switching. Nothing to see here 


So I can no longer be impressed with Mel Blanc?

Yes that is a thing, Arian foster has talked about it on a podcast I listen to. BUT, Kamala never grew up in any place with an accent like that, nor in the streets. She’s cosplaying.

LOL 


There is also a montage someone posted of all her different accents in use during campaigning.  What a fraud. 

Yeah, I saw that online a couple (or few) days ago and remember thinking that this was the sort of wacky criticism of a political figure that seems designed to be an effective way to weed out the dummies. Because they're the ones who actually think it's something worth discussion.

So, uh, congrats?

The only question I have about any of these Twitter people is the last one.

Trump sent his supporters to go kill Mike Pence?

Lime, seriously dude? WTF

That’s closer to reality that Kamala Harris being more mean to Mike pence than trump

I call it more empathy than cosplay but at the end of the day it’s just more desperation because all your guy can really do is walk around saying trust me it will be bigly great

You mean the accusation that Trump told his supporters to go kill Mike pence has no basis in reality?

Yet you still felt compelled to post that tweet because... why? 

Was that what you thought would be a good defense of Kamala?!

I'm really embarrassed for you right now FFS

I personally don't think either candidate is the sharpest tool in the shed. 

Kamala is going to have to find a way to reconcile her base to the establishment. Because right now she's got bigger problems than Kennedy Jr and Tulsi endorsing Trump. Right now the far left, who usually hold their noses and vote Democrat, are shredding her to bits and supporting Jill Stein. She is going to need those votes and right now she isn't even acknowledging their existence. 

Before you post some dumbass tweeting that Trump put out a kill order on Pence, maybe try getting upset at her instead of people on this forum posting the obvious.

The point was him actually saying with a straight face that Kamala was mean to Mike pence. It was embarrassingly hypocritical and total lack of self awareness. Really had nothing to do with the top quote. Do you think Kamala was worse to Mike pence than trump?

I’m not upset with anyone. Just trying to even out the conversation as it seems to me not an election thread but a bash Kamala thread. Interesting you focused on the threat to Mike pence which wasn’t the point and ignored the other dumbass quotes by trump. I don’t always pick the people who provide the quotes they come up on the for u tab. It’s is always about the quote never the commentary for future reference. I assumed you knew what hyperbole was.

I actually don't care if she was. He's not my uncle or friend or neighbor. He's a fucking politician, same as she is, and I wouldn't piss on either of them if they were on fire.

We've already bashed Trump for YEARS. Sorry you weren't here for it, but you'll have to cope.

In case you forgot, I didn't have any problem with people showcasing Trump saying stupid shit. I even said that I wasn't questioning the other tweets you posted. But once again you couldn't muster up reading comprehension past the 4th grade level.

For the record we all made fun of Hillary Clinton when she faked accents and showed off her hot sauce. 

Sorry you weren't here to be offended on her behalf geeblock!

Well you're the one who claims to be balancing things out, not me.

The point is that there's not much new to criticize Trump  with when it's been done for the better part of a decade already. However, Kamala is "new" material and as such she is going to get her knocks. It is Kamala's job to have a platform, sell her policies (whatever they may actually be), unite the Dems and try to gather as many independents as she can. As far as I can see, she's only one point away from Trump in the polls and that's fucking ridiculous. She should be at least 5-7 pts ahead of him right now. I don't really believe polling that much anymore but a lot of people still do. So I go exploring what different factions are talking about to get a decent idea of where things stand. Why she isn't where she should be isn't my fault or anybody else's here. 

So what has she put out so far?

- Meg Thee Stallion twerking

- taking some of Trump's policies

- answering multiple choice questions in an 18 minute "interview" from a friend 

- taking Joe Biden's campaign strategy

- promised more wars

- and... I think that's it.

I hope she wins. In fact, I've already bet money on it. I want Dem voters to get everything they vote for, because I'm just that kind of an asshole.
