    Not an US citizen, and in the previous poll I voted abstain... two grandpa's, one lunatic and a senile, keep.
    But now I'd probably vote Kamala.

    Will Kamala really be any better than Biden? Wasn’t she basically running the show anyway? Genuinely curious on anyone’s thoughts

    Would* America is not electing a nonwhite woman to the presidency. It's not quite there yet.

    It seems the 3 frontrunners for Kamala’s VP pick are Shapiro, Walz and Beshear.

    Genuinly the VP doesn't do like anything. I'm not really expecting her to be that much different than Biden.

    Kamala needs to make sure she’s behind bullet proof glass that Obama used. Some Trump fan psycho like the last kid will find any reason to go after her. I could see republicans getting shook saying she shouldn’t be able to run or some lame excuse.

    Some trump worshippers (has a lot of troll fans) need to know he only got this serious about running again because he knew the feds were indicting him. He’s a narcissist, only wants to pardon all his crimes. Idk why people would want Trump who’s going to be in his 80s shortly. The middle and younger voting class are getting tired of old school 80 year old presidents i feel.

    Biden still went to a school where it was whites only and always separated from black people. It shows how old school minded these 78+ year olds are.

    Hopefully Kamala or Trump bans Halloween Resurrection from being broadcasted, sold, and streamed!

    I mean they’re both members of the same party so they’re going to pursue similar policies. The difference is going to be in the margins e.g. I imagine a Harris administration will be more openly critical of Israel.

    Like all presidents (or at least the ones that respect rule of law), she’ll be constrained of what she can do by Congress & the courts.

    Not neccessarily. A Bernie administration would look vastly different than a Warren administration, just for idk 2 random examples. On the flip side, a 2016 Ted Cruz administration would've been vastly different than the one we got with Trump.

    Either way, I'd assume a Harris administration would be slightly more left leaning than a Biden one. I just can't really say since she's clearly playing to the voters right now (her right leaning stance on immigration as of recent)

    Bernie Sanders is currently an independent. But if you map him onto the Democratic Party, he’s going to be further to the left than a vast majority of the party. He’s more the exception than the rule.

    Even within a Sanders administration though, the people within the admin might be different from a Harris admin but what he can pursue legislatively is going to be largely the same because of the constraints of Congress. Presidents need Congress to pass their agenda.

    Yeah Adin Ross is an absolute scumbag. I’m not surprised in the slightest Trump wanted to hang out with him.
