She is willing to change to anything so she can win.

It will be insane if she actually wins:

"First Female American President is crazy arse Karmala"

Hillary would drink herself to death.

What a fricked world this is.

Meh, that's mostly academic prestige among other people at conferences and the faculty lounge who also are educated but not rich. Donald Harris only published 1 book while she was a kid and 2 when she was grown about Jamaican development economics, which I'm sure are pulling quite the royalty stream.

Man you're smoking some good stuff lol this is like saying "Congress members are only making $175k they're not rich."

Huge difference between the academic crowd at Pinhead State College and the world renowned Stanford University Econ Department that churns out millionares

When she gets stymied on a question, she starts talking in circles. It’s her default setting. Everything she says is filler.

She is NOT a serious person.

She lived in the prosperous Westmount neighborhood of Montreal from the age of 12 through her first year in college at Montreal's Vanier College.

I wish Trump had said in response to the race question: "Race isn't important to me. But the phoniness of the Vice President pretending she has lived a life similar to those of millions of Black Americans shows she can't be trusted. So, I will ask a question that ABC never would:

VP Harris, who was the manager of the McDonald’s where you claimed to work?"

Yeah, kid of Stanford professor and descending from the ruling class in the Caribbean is an interesting definition of middle class.

You’re working entirely too hard at this. It’s not just academic prestige. An assistant professor at a small state university will make $50k-$60k depending on the college. Stanford professors start at $150k and go up from there.

I don’t give a shite whether she grew up poor, middle class or mega rich. It’s the fact that she keeps answering serious questions with this drivel.

If she gets elected idiocracy will have officially arrived.

No one ever digs in and questions her basically growing up as a Canadian. She just spews whatever she wants and is never questioned.

Her dad started at Stanford in 1972 when Kamala was 8 years old and taught there until 1998 which was right at the start of the tech bubble. You can't compare the COL in San Fran from today to the pre dot-com era.

What should be argued is what her dad was making then. Probably way more than the average middle-class families of that same time.

It's her strategy of getting people to vote for her because Trump grew up with Money. Make folks think he was a spoiled rich kid while she grew up slumming the streets.

Sure, but what ever that was certainly far closer to whatever you consider middle class to be - probably works for someone, relies on one's labor to pay one's bills, at least a moderate amount of precarity - none of which wealth-elites have to deal with. She's running against a person who inherited >$400M in 2018 dollars and had no features of middle class existence.

She’s trying real hard to seem like a commoner but she’s not. She was raised as an elitist and currently sees herself above others.

She’s far from what she claims she is
