Kamala Harris, who launched her campaign for president, has long been a favorite of Hollywood donors.

Kamala Harris has launched her campaign for the White House, after President Joe Biden stepped aside Sunday under pressure from party leaders.

The vice president has Biden’s endorsement, and is unchallenged as yet for the Democratic nomination, which will be formally decided at the Aug. 19 convention in Chicago.

“I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination,” Harris said in a statement. “I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party—and unite our nation—to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda. We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win.”

In her statement, the vice president paid tribute to Biden’s “extraordinary leadership,” saying he had achieved more in one term than many presidents do in two.

    Why carry on a meaningful conversation when you can latch onto a single word and use it as an excuse to dismiss everything else someone says?

    It’s way easier than having defensible positions.

      They didn’t say anything worth countering and they said it with a flurry of insults. People who cannot even speak without derisively labelling others without any understanding of anything but their own extreme positions can get bent. Not worth anyone’s time.

        You’re expending a lot of effort trying to convince people that your interlocutor isn’t worth the effort. The more effort you expend, the more it looks like you’re interested in dismissing things for which you have no good answer than you are in saving effort.

        Also, it’s cute seeing you of all people whining about insults.

          Right, writing two times it’s not worth it is just as wasteful as getting drawn into a moronic back and forth for hours. Also wah, I insulted you at some point for being a fraud.
