Who is this strategy supposed to appeal to? Are black people really gonna be like, "Damn Right! She's not one of us!". As if you can only be "black" unless you can draw a genetic line back to slaves in the antebellum south? And the idea that she's not African American because her heritage comes from India and Jamaica. Do you know who's African American by that definition? Elon Musk. Does the term Biracial not even compute here? JD Vance's children are both White and Indo-American. It's not that complicated. Parsing someone's racial identity is the epitome of racism.

Because Drag Queens are ick, duh.

They were not trying to make fun of the Last Supper! Chreestians have some thin-ass skin.

I hope the Trumpers continue with this line of rhetoric. Showing their true colours. Of course ignoring the fact that a Border deal was negotiated by the Biden administration, but Trump had it blown up because he needed the wedge issue. https://apnews.com/article/biden-border-trump-immigration-9fd40a8ba7096362ca3ff4d810c01b21

Harris' events seem positive and hopeful. Her team is also doing an excellent job trolling Trump on the Socials. Trump seems angry and unhinged. More-so than usual. Also JD Vance's comments about child-less people is a really bad look. He's on record saying that non-parents should have influence than parents.

Actually nobody likes JD Vance. 🙃 Early Polling has the race neck and neck where it was a healthy lead for Trump before the change.

And lost his re-election campaign. It's quite common for VPs to run for POTUS.

Doesn't make it a thing. Her role as a prosecutor might have hurt her when BLM was staging mass protests across the globe, but now I don't think it'll matter. Especially against the dude that had BLM protestors cleared for a photo-op with a Bible.

All the messaging around Biden being too old for office could be flipped around on Trump. He's now the oldest person to ever run for POTUS. Republicans aren't doing themselves any favours by calling her a DEI nomination. She was the DA of the largest state in the country and a Senator. That's more experience in public life than Trump ever had. She'll also likely nominate a Governor from a swing state as a Veep. If Trump does agree to debate her, the way he handled Hillary won't work against Harris. Is BLM still a thing. It could be argued that her failure in 2020 was because of BLM. But I think the political winds have changed.

Ketchup packets FTW. 😉

So you aren't drawing any conclusion then. No am I. I see the head of the Secret service stepped down today.

Hey look. I think it's sketchy AF that bro was able to sit on top of that roof. But you have to ask yourself. Was the goal to kill Trump or make it look like the Dems hate him so much they'd try to kill him?

Was the grassy knoll checked?

Oh so we're going to do JFK thing. If that's what you want to do then you have to ask who's behind it? Could it be the GOP that wanted to make Trump out to be a martyr? Why was Trump golfing without a bandage the next day but he was sure to wear one at the convention?

You really believe the Democrats thought that? even after the debate performance? They had to save face. From what I've heard, polling showed that he had no shot after the debate performance. Aging comes for all of us, it's not a character flaw. It's certainly possible he could be experiencing a steep decline in cognitive ability. Now Trump is the one that's going to have to watch all his lapses due to age.

The assassination has quickly been moved off of the news cycle. There are a large faction of voters that are "double haters". They'd rather sit out than vote for an 80-year-old man from either party. Adding Harris to the equation changes that. She'll have to perform though. I'll be interesting if Trump refuses to debate her.

You're the one that brought. Again, Jamaican father. Obama's father was from Kenya. What racial background makes one from the "truly black American" community accept a political candidate?

To most people, yeah. If calling Obama black pisses you off so much, that says more about you than anyone else. My wife has hispanic heritage, though my kids look pretty white. Would it be reasonable for me to get upset if someone called them white because they're actually bi-racial? Then maybe focus on that. Because this makes you look silly.

Sure, if you wish to be pedantic. Does minority work? I think the term used frequently in Canada is "racialized". Honestly this is a tedious debate. I hope Trump's team fixates on it to look ridiculous.

I dunno. I think using the term black as a catch-all for anyone with African heritage isn't unthinkable. Where do you think the majority of Jamaicans have their heritage from? But feel free to make this the issue that bothers you. I'll make you look completely sensible. 😉

What about the first female person of colour. I don't even think it's PC to simply say Black anymore.

And why does that matter?

So if both parents have African-American heritage, that somehow gives one more minority credentials than someone of mixed race? She's clearly a person of colour. She's not white.

Please clarify the textbook definition of a "black" person. Was Obama not black either? Are people of South Asian heritage with darker complexions also not "black". This is an interesting hill to die on.

Find one potential Harris voter that's upset that they were denied the opportunity to select their presumptive candidate. And labelling her as "not black" is flailing at it's finest. Her father is Jamaican.
