Now, the Democratic presidential candidate’s campaign is nodding to her summer job to highlight her upbringing and a platform to boost American workers that stands in stark contrast to her Republican rival Donald Trump, who “has no plan to help the middle class — just more tax cuts for billionaires,” according to a recent ad.

    between Harris saying she knows what it is like to struggle to telling protesters to shut up she is not becoming who thought she was at the beginning of all this

    Harris advertised as some hero of the people when she first announced she was in the race and with her VP pick thought that would really seal the deal for us

    but here we go again

      You should go on the internet and read what’s current, as of the last 24 hours, anyway!

      tl;dr:

      Pausing her speech on Friday to directly address the protesters, Harris said: “I have been clear: now is the time to get a ceasefire deal and get the hostage deal done.”

      baby steps, she’s not prez, yet…

        forgot apologize

        the Democrats are the Baby Steps Party

        ready for adults steps at this point

        why should any of us have to wait until our deathbeds to see progress

    neither do you or your party

    some of do not have the luxury of working McDonald’s as a summer job to learn values

    for some it is a fulltime job that will not pay all the bills including food and will have the workers overworked and underpaid and underappreciated and sick from lack of healthcare

    get the fuck out of here saying you know what it is like to struggle Kamala

    doubt she ever went to bed hungry

    if the Democrats truly understood the minimum wage would be $20 or more and we would have had universal healthcare because they would have fought tooth claw and nail for the people to have it despite Republican oppositions

      just curious, whats your solution? you seem great at pointing out how everyone running is an ignorant piece of shit and unworthy of politics.

      what, Realistically is your solution? vote 3rd party? vote for the faster path to fascism via the orange turd??

      no candidates are going to be 100%, we will always be picking the best ‘running’. so, who the fuck do you think people should vote for now realistically, to get democratic ideals pushed forward?

      so far youre just a whiner with zero added value.

        if enough people put in enough vote to a third party then it would become a viable party

        the democrats hold a carrot to their voters every election halting any form of progress

        every election we get either the Republicans actively against the people or we get the Baby Steps Party that is full of enough empty promises to keep people on the treadmill

      “There was not a family relying on me to pay the rent, put food on the table and keep the bills paid by the end of the month,” she added. “But the reality of McDonald’s is that a majority of the folk who are working there today are relying on that income to sustain a household and a family.”

        her saying that does not translate to Harris or the Democrats truly understanding the plight of the US worker

        the actual people making sure the country is still in operation the workers who are always forgotten by the time shareholders are paid and elections results are counted
