I’ll throw the question right back at you, what business woman, republican woman and democrat woman would be a great leader a president of the USA?


What decisions did Biden make that affected the economy? To make it this great? This is a generic with no substance. Are you saying it’s Kamala who raised the interest rates now making housing unaffordable? Or was it letting in millions of people who took away low cost housing? Are those interest rates hurting people in debt, in the form of credit cards? Are credit card default rates, the highest in 12 years and climbing, a Kamala decision? What about a 13 year high in auto loan delinquencies? That was her? What about the highest amount of Americans working 2 jobs to just afford life? Was that caused by her decisions.

What about this recent news?

US hiring fell sharply in July, an unexpected setback for the economy stoking recession fears

The U.S. economy suffered an unexpected setback in July, as hiring fell sharply and the unemployment rate rose for the fourth straight month in a sign that higher interest rates may be taking a bigger toll on businesses and consumers.

“The unemployment rate has risen for four consecutive months. It’s jump to 4.3% in July crossed a tripwire that historically has signaled that the United States is in recession”

This is Kamala?

I dont really want a business person, man or women, who ran a corporation to be president. I think they tend to be awful people and not looking out for the best interest of the citizens. Those are more likely to be corrupt and will only help grow large corporations that dont benefit people. That is one of the bigger problems in the US.

Or do you just mean a women in general that would be good for president? I think there are plenty of those. I dont find them qualified regardless of gender to be fit for president. But I can see the differences between you and me. You want large corporations controlling more. If you want a list of top CEOs who are female and successful you can google that. It seems you respect them less than men who are CEOs though. Probably one of the reasons we have a lower percentage of female CEOs than most countries even China has more percentage wise.

I wrote out a bunch about the economy but deleted it because I realized it has nothing to do with what we are discussing now.

But I will agree to some extent the president doesnt have a ton of control over the economy and I dont vote for president based on business like you. For me government should be mostly hands off except for protecting the rights of minority groups, build/maintain infrastructure, protect its people, and keep large corporations in check. These are areas I feel improved under Biden and will continue to improve under Harris.

This is actually a fact. Delegates and super delegates pick the presidential nominee.
Now having said that, they will almost always go with who the voters voted for. But it's never "X" candidate got this many primary votes which was more than the others so that is the nominee.

If fact before 1972 (I believe that was the year) delegates often went against the voters and chose a nominee who didn't get the votes.

I'm glad that you would like to see us be more democratic though and let the voters decide. I would too. I think we should not even have delegates or electors. I think we should vote and tally them sum bitches up and have the winner decided that way.

Our voting system needs reform. I doubt it will happen and its sad. Look at the voter turnout in the USA its really awful. How many other countries dont give everyone the day off to vote? Its crazy. Unless you live in a swing state its a waste of time to vote. The general election is bad but the primaries are even more awful.

You have cause and effect backwards. Kamala isn't the candidate because she is the most supported and liked. Kamala is the most supported and liked because she is the candidate.

Prior to being named as the top of the democratic ticket, Kamala wasn't among the top three in voter support. She was installed. People were told to cheer and so they cheer. Kamala doesn't need to campaign, or do interviews, or even have policy positions because she isn't competing for a thing that needs to be won. Kamala simply needs to kill time until it happens.

For Democrats, stopping Trump from returning to the Oval Office is the most important priority, and they are likely looking at it as the most critically important election in modern times, perhaps in all of American history. That does seem a tad different than just another presidential election. Of course Trump is telling his followers the very same thing. Once Biden endorsed Harris, Democrats seemed to realize being unified, with 4 months to go, was the best path. Was Harris the best candidate? Well, Obama wanted a mini primary and open convention. I think the Democrats were in a really tough spot, not expecting to have to replace Biden, prior to the debate. To Democrats, at least, there has never(?) been an election quite like this: we MUST win, Trump is an existential threat to our democratic institutions. And not a lot of time to create a ticket that will accomplish what they feel is the only thing that matters: stop Trump. If it works, that is all that matters.

This I agree with the above and it is a sad commentary. The political machinery has their believers so afraid of the bogeyman they've created out of Trump that they'll cheer anything including a senile mush brain who clearly isn't running the country, a cardboard cutout stand-in replacement, and even having their voice in choosing candidates stripped away. In government, getting something back that you've given away is very difficult. They painted frightening pictures on the cave wall and a lot of people gave away what used to belong to them.

Trump himself created the image of trump. He wasn't even a politician when he robbed people with trump university. He wasn't even a politician when he stole from his charity. He wasn't a politician when he was buddies with Epstein and cheating on all his wives and sleeping with pornstars, and not renting to blacks, and taking out articles in the newspaper saying that innocent black boys were guilty, and not paying his contractors, and acting like douche.

He was a horrible human being long before he was a politician.
