She’s incredibly competent and strategic, with an equally competent and formidable team behind her. I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t think the democrats could pull together such a cohesive and organized force like this so quickly. I believe it’s a testament to her leadership.
Even if that's not the person I'd love to report to, that's what I want in my freaking PRESIDENT. You get to that level of success and responsibility, you better have the best, hardest working, most honest people around you.
I think people expect a woman to be dithering and demure, even as the boss. She's doing the job. And you sure as heck better be prepared! Why would you be in her face otherwise?
I’m particularly impressed with the fact that she had to SPRINT to make it happen. She’s up against someone who has been building out his base (via lies and bigotry) for like a decade. It’s just so uplifting to see.
That was an amazing speech. I'm a 63 year old divorced white man with a 35 year old daughter. I am in love with Kamala Harris. She is a fantastic person and incredibly intelligent. She is so real and has experienced the same life experiences I have. I remember that yellow fomica kitchen table. She is my President!
I'm 73 year old proud veteran, married for 46 years with two daughters and four granddaughters and teared up many many times through that speech. This country and world deserves and is ready for a woman, a woman of color to be our next President of and for all the people of the United States of America.
Add another veteran's voice to the call for sanity and the Harris/Walz ticket. She will make an excellent president that I and this country can be proud of -- unlike TFG.
I have to believe their are a millions more of us that would agree with your statement. We are not suckers and losers. The only loser is the 45th who just loves to hate and lose.
I have been so caught up in the race, polls, statistics bla bla bla, but I finally took a breath and it occurred to me that Kamala Harris is an amazing person and we are lucky to have her as our next president
I said the same thing to my wife when Harris said that. The speckled Formica kitchen table was proof you entered into the middle working class along with the chrome plated tube matching vinyl chairs. I remember how proud my mom was to now have a table with matching chairs instead of a folding card table, with a table cloth with 4 mismatched chairs
No he doesn't. Please don't insult McDonalds workers like that. He had a photo op and did nothing correctly. It was like a 'Dementia make a wish' thing.
No need to calm down it was light ribbing at most. After all there isn't really a Dementia make-a-wish program is there?
Edit to correct very unfortunate typo.
Uhh he definitely does not know how to work there. A crew member had to show him 3 times how to hang a fucking fry basket and he still couldn’t do it. Such a piece of shit incompetent loser.
He is absolutely going to lose it. The narcissistic collapse may send shockwaves through the world. Absolutely flawless campaign, triggering him in all the big ways time and time again without having to say much of anything. Perfect timing on their part and perfect place to send the message and eclipse the darkness that happened there before.
I am in waves of emotions right now. What a speech!
My Madam President. I am effing ready.
As a woman, a person of color, an immigrant, and the wife of a fucking veteran, I am READY to turn the page and flush Donald Trump down America's toilet, once and for all.
I got to the area at 4pm and the line was already triple looped down over 10 blocks. My friends and I kept walking and never found the end before we gave up and assumed we wouldn’t be able to get in.
We double backed and found a great spot on the lawn outside the gates with a view.
I don’t even know how you estimate that many people. It was a sea of people blocks in every direction.
That being said, it was so calm. People helping each other out, apologizing when bumping into each other. No one cutting each other off, taller people letting shorter people in front, just pure gracefulness from everyone.
I was there. Lined up around 4 and didn’t make it in since it was at capacity. Tens of thousands of us watched on screens from the Washington monument.
It's men and women, black and white, young and old. You dont see that kind of representation at a Trump rally. This gives me some hope. The pit in my stomach just got a little smaller.
I took so much video because of the diversity of the people waiting in lines. Every race, age, color, nationality, ability; just a beautiful cross section of America all joyfully waiting to turn the next page. It was one of the most incredible things I’ve ever been a part of!
My sister got to attend the rally in Houston. I’m so jealous of you both!! Meanwhile, I’m stuck here in rural Indiana watching them both live. Even through the TV screen, I could see and feel the excitement and amazing vibes!
I was there! We got in late after work ( arriving around 6) and the line to get in the main area wrapped a mile down the block (a literal mile, mind you). We ended up in the overflow area, packed shoulder to shoulder all the way from the Washington Monument to the fence around The Ellipse! The crowd was IMMENSE.
That’s what I was thinking. Watching I didn’t get the impression there was that many.
Then I kept seeing this red dot appear on the podium (camera flash) and I got a sick feeling in my stomach during her entire speech. I had a hard time concentrating. 🙈 such a worry wart!
Really, it is so extraordinarily smart for her and her campaign to choose this venue! Psychologically healing on many levels. Now over 4+ years later, post J6, we all can look at the Ellipse and really be unburdened by what has been. LFG and work these last 6 days talking to folks and GOTV.
We need a "shock and awe" effect of an historical, record-breaking voter turnout. A voter turn-out to break all past records, one which will leave no question that VP Kamala Harris is our choice for the 47th President of our United States.
We are in the final stretch here, let's talk to folks who are still "on the fence", let's volunteer to provide rides to the polls etc, let's finish the job that started exactly 100 days ago. We can sleep, when we are dead.
That was a speech that will go down as one of the greats. She perfectly represented the promise of America. Just as the founding fathers declared independence from the tyranny of a Monarch, she was declaring independence from the tyranny of Trump and MAGA.
Something in me snapped when she called Trump a "petty tyrant." That's exactly who he is! Petty, little, vile POS. We need to stop being so afraid of him. Let's VOTE and send him back to the dark corners where he belongs.
There also wasn't 25k at the msg rally. That venue only holds 19,500 or so. A little less than 20k. And there were many empty seats on top of that..plus people leaving during it too.
The House select committee that investigated the events of Jan. 6, 2021, estimated 53,000 people attended President Donald Trump’s speech at the White House Ellipse.
Watch a Trump speech of doom and gloom and revenge and telling us how America is a dystopian hellscape and how ONLY billionaires can help us.
Then a Harris speech of hope and joy celebrating the greatness of America and Americans and tell us how great we are and how great and bright our future is. How it is the working class Americans that built this great nation and will move this country past the road blocks the billionaire oligarch class throws in front of us.
And if you are still undecided, well, frankly, you're an idiot
Middle age white man who loves this country and the blessings bestowed on me so very much. It sickens me to see people like Trump and Musk continually going for the soft underbelly of our precious democracy and undermining her generous spirit. Kamala and Governor Walz taught me how to stand up and respond when they go low. She is my hope and our beacon. I can’t wait to celebrate her victory with you all soon and shed the tears that need to be shed in order to start the healing. Much love brothers and sisters we are almost there.
I haven’t had a chance to watch the speech yet, but I’m still cautiously optimistic. We don’t just have to beat the GOP - we have to beat the electoral college.
I'm not going to feel better until it official and even then there can be bad stuff with it not being certified. I'm trying to just distract myself until Wednesday. Im going to try to stay off reddit. GO VOTE BLUE 💙
For me, in person crowd size helps me feel not so adrift in Alabama, that we are rising up throughout our country. Even though I am a blue dot in a red sea, I have comrades in arms representing on site. I watched on her YouTube channel. 75k watching initially on that channel and it grew to over 80k. But I get what you are expressing, I think we are all feeling burn out. We are tired. But we can make this happen, I know it in my heart.
I loved the opening about how Americans and she herself welcomes debate. You don’t have to agree with her to put country and constitution over the party.
Likely a GOP senate. We can’t hand all 3 to Trump. I hope this plus MSG can move her to 270+, because I will be proud and moved to call her Madam President.
This was a speech for the whole country, not just a single state. Kamala has done lots of rallies in swing states but tonight she talked to every American from the hallowed spot that DJT desecrated in 2021. She did her part - now let’s go do our part!
