Screw it, I'm Making My Statement About Kamala an OP

RW trolls, I'm taking a page from your own playbook. From now on, any and all negative comments about Harris will make me want to support her even more. So, please, keep it up trolls. I'm following your RW practice of digging in under fire. The difference is that, in my support for Kamala Harris, I know it is for the right reasons. You see, I know for damned sure that she is an intelligent, super educated, liberal minded, young but tested Democratic candidate.

So I Kamala. You make some negative comments and I will add another

I have your number fucking trolls!

He actually stuttered and couldn't respond since she made him so nervous. Could you picture her in a debate on the stage? She would be as good as Hillary was while the fucking moron was walking back and forth trying to intimidate her but was he failing miserably.

She is competent and not going to back down under pressure from anyone.

And will keep my mouth shut afterwards.

Go back and watch the video and the after interviews. Watch both. I suspect it isn't quite what you remember. Perhaps she made him nervous, but she had nothing for follow up, so it was momentarily noisy and good theatre, but unfortunately only that.

I will absolutely vote for her if she's the candidate, but I need to see more before I am enthusiastic.

Not sure if she has enough "loud charisma" (my words) but I'm hoping she wins as it stands now.

I'm perfectly happy with her remaining in the Senate and making more rethugs nervous. But while she is in the spotlight with her presidential run, I'm going to support her regardless of what the trolls say. Heck, I could say that about any candidate. It's just that the trolls have been picking on Harris lately.

However, this is the specific post I was responding to: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211711929

They are afraid of her, so the attacks are beginning. If they come over here and try to post negative comments, fine. I will double down on my support for her.

People do it all the time RE: Gillibrand, Gabbard, Ojeda, Warren, etc (and a lot will be said about people who may throw their hat into the ring, like Biden). This does not make them trolls. I really don't understand the hypocrisy.

And, gasp, Sen. Harris is one of my favorites and I really believe that she can beat Trump.

It's comments from outside of DU. Sure, they will inevitably get posted here, but I'm not referring to that.

than Kamala. Tulsi gets ripped for meeting with Assad, but she understands what's going on in Syria. I've said too much.
