The media really does have it out for Biden & Harris

Back to my rant from last night about VP Harris here is another example.  Two stories about basically the same thing.

From the article..

“The mainstream media’s fixation with false equivalency between the two political parties and fear of criticism from the right has led to distorted coverage and misleading characterizations of the assault on democracy.

Voter suppression is called “tighter voting requirements.” The Republican’s descent into authoritarianism and its dalliance with violence is explained away as “polarization.” Meritless cases to overturn the election are described as “lawsuits stemming from the 2020 election,” and rarely is it made clear that “concerns about fraud” is a red herring or that the 2020 election was the most reviewed and reaffirmed in history (thanks to the slew of audits).

The media talks about the “lack of civility” in politics. But when do Democrats post videos depicting violence against Republicans? When do they follow Republican members down the halls of Congress to harass and scream at them?”

”Marc Elias, the Democrats’ top voting rights lawyer, writes for Democracy Docket: “Avoiding discussing partisanship leaves out the who, the what and the why of what is happening to American democracy. Without the context of partisanship, a person has no way to make sense of who is supporting voter suppression laws, what these laws are doing or why all of this is even happening.” He adds:

Now, imagine if instead, the report stated: Republicans in 49 states have introduced more than 425 bills to restrict voting access, while Democrats introduced nearly 1,000 bills to expand it. Suddenly, it all makes sense. The inclusion of partisan information makes the seemingly contradictory claims understandable and clear.

Only one party, the GOP, protects members who post violent, outrageous material. Only one overwhelmingly opposed a bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection. Or tossed a party member out of her leadership position for refusing to lie about the Donald Trump-inspired effort to overturn the election. Or filibustered debate on any voting rights reform (with the exception of a single Republican senator from Alaska).

Not every Republican voting rule is designed to suppress minority voting or subvert the administration of elections, but voting suppression and election subversion comes from the Republican Party only. Even when high turnout favors Republicans (as in the Virginia gubernatorial race), Democrats still want to make voting easier. In short, one party is committed to democracy, and one is committed to subverting it to serve its interests.”

😀. Boy I wish they had an emoji of a little girl stamping her feet in a tantrum when things don’t go their way.  I suspect it would get a of use on this board.

Some of us don’t agree with you or the articles you are posting.  That happens.

Here is what I know of Kamala Harris.  She was DA while I was working in San Francisco.  The biggest grip against her was she is against the death penalty and when prosecuting a cop killer she didn’t ask for the death penalty which got some people upset.  As someone who is against the death penalty I didn’t have a problem with it. And apparently neither did the majority of San Franciscans because if they don’t like their DA they let them know.  I believe the voters are trying to recall the current DA.

She ran for AG of California and was elected twice before she ran for Senator after Barbara Boxer announced her retirement. And she became our Senator.

As for her presidential campaign she ,IMO, made two mistakes.  First one is she listened to her sister too much instead of her campaign manager.  Second one I think she felt she needed to move farther left on the issues then she felt comfortable with and because of that she was confusing as to her stance on the issues.

If she should run for President again I don’t expect her to make the same mistakes because she is one sharp cookie.  And if she should run for President she will get my vote.

If you don’t like Kamala Harris that’s your choice.  But don’t get all hot and bothered because people aren’t agreeing with you.  Or seeing things the way you are.

And the two reasons I provided could be the reason for the low polling numbers.

That is your opinion and you are entitled to that opinion.  But that doesn’t necessarily mean that you are correct in your assessment.

Time will tell which one of is right.

Unbelievable
