I'd really prefer Elizabeth Warren, I'd also prefer Kamala Harris. It's not just the woman factor, it's also about competence.

Do you really believe Kamala is competent? Have you heard her speeches? It's like a bad rap song.

Vice President Harris serves as an inspiration to young women everywhere— that with hard work, determination and perseverance, you, too, can sleep your way to the top!

More competent than Biden, not even a question. More competent than Warren? Idk.

Who is it you want me to compare her competence to? We have not seen her as full president yet, though clearly Biden has relied on her (Kamala Harris) as a crutch at times.

Are you serious bro? Warren is the very definition of highly educated, and she doesn't sound like she is perpetually high repeating the same words over and over.

One of Warren's criticisms is that she is TOO smart.

Kamala on the other hand thinks TUPAC is still alive...

I definitely think Warren is high IQ, yes. I have no idea why that's an issue, she's also done a lot as a non-president, I have looked into her hero cases as a lawyer/law-expert-advisor and know she used to be a Republican too. She did more as a senator but was already dedicate to helping people use the law to ease student loans debt and genuinely benefit the middle class and working class her entire career.

I genuinely admire the shit out of her as a person, she is the exact brand of left-wing I identify with. I am not simping, I genuinely mean this, she has nearly never said something I don't agree with to my core (please don't dig up that native american ethnicity stuff, it's such a pointless ad hom sidetrack idc about if she is or isn't part native american at all).

In regards to a politician:
Improving the quality of life for Americans.

The opposite is also true as a corollary.

In regards to a rap artist:
Evoking suppressed feelings in the listener. 
Most of today's rappers do the opposite making canned lyrics and formulated, predictable music to get a predictable and profitable reaction.

I think this is going to just run in circles as you derail more and more and I try to lead us back to the topic.

Can you explain a definition of competence as a president, not ordinary politician and link it to why Kamala Harris is less competent than... well, clarify who.

I told you, the mark of competence is improving the quality of life for their voters, whether it's a president, VP, or city councilman.

Kamala's history of lowering the quality of life for her constituents as a DA is well documented.

This is why voting is important. It's also why the voting population is responsible for taking care of the non voting population (like children) if they want Society to survive.

That is the detriment of a Democracy as compared to a Benevolent Dictator. Only the votes matter to a person who retains power. Some nations have enacted mandatory voting to counter this flaw inherent in Democracy.

What do you define competence as?
I define competence as meeting the minimal qualifications or having the ability to perform a job, according to professional expectation.

Many of our previous Founding Fathers have done great and terrible things. Because a lot of their achievements, they raised the standard of what an ideal president should be. But because of knuckleheads like Trump and Biden, they also lowered the threshold significantly.

The job of the President should be to maintain or improve the stability and safety of our economy, as well as manage the federal government. There are plenty of qualified black female candidates that meet the criteria for President. Kamala Harris does not for several reasons.:

  • She is a grifter. I might be willing to give her the benefit of the doubt if she was authentic about her beliefs, but the fact is she doesn't give a damn about the nation or the people, she's concerned about having people support her.
  • She is a snake. She was the worst choice for VP by Joe Biden. She has no loyalty to him and would openly condemn him if the left-wing media incentivized her to because of peer pressure. She has no moral compass and even if she personally liked Biden, it would not stop her from turning on him in a heart-beat.
  • She is an evil person. Her history as a prosecutor had her pressing charges against plenty of nonviolent drug offenders and deliberately tried to withhold evidence that would've gotten people exonerated. (Here is the interview where she brags about these things.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgWZJZcwpnY
  • She is incompetent. I mean this in two ways. 1. She's under-qualified for the role of president because of her inexperience in politics or economics and her education would make her a terrible fit. 2. She would undermine the very integrity of what being a President means and has not demonstrated the capacity that she even understands what a President does or what they're supposed to do.
Case in point, you REALLY don't want Kamala Harris as President.

Not by a long shot.

I have my own characterizations of DeSantis and Trump and where their attributes falter.

100% DeSantis.

Why don't you tell us the whole story? The employers reduced the number of work hours so not to fire employees. Besides, there are more americans working, yes, but in part-time jobs. 
Says who? FOX News? They are liars.

So you mean like Obamacare? Supporting unions? Keeping weapons of war off the streets? Promoting the General Welfare?

That’s democrats.

Republicans want deregulation and laissez faire capitalism.

Kamala's history of lowering the quality of life for her constituents as a DA is well documented.
Name three things she did that lowered the quality of life for her constituents as DA.

I have no doubt you will be unable to articulate an answer.

How does she compare to Mike Pence?

Americans tried to hang him. He was a radio talk show host. He bungled the response to COVID. He believes in anti gay therapy.

Her laugh sucks. How’s your laugh, worse? Are you bald and overweight? You know, since you are getting personal on Harris

And of course, you gave no response about Mike Pence.

Oh? By calling her a whore like you did? She was an Attorney General, a Senator and Vice President all while overcoming the prejudices that women and black skinned people face in this country. And she slept with a lot less people than that turd Donald Trump who leads your worthless, brainless and unprincipled party.
