I wonder how the British Indian population is responding to Kamala's selection to be the VP nominee in America?

I think a lot of little girls are seeing themselves in different ways.
I'm hearing about stories of Asian women crying because they can't believe this was possible.

Unless they happen to live in the USA I would assume most don't care.

Joe Biden like 50 million Americans has dyslexia and that is a well known fact. I also have dyslexia and was tested for it as a young child. Didn't stop me from graduating from University with honors nor has it stopped me from having a successful life. It simply means you have to work harder than the average person when speaking or writing. Doesn't stop anything else. Joe spoke the same way when he was in his 40s and 50s.

King George VI in the 1930s had a serious stuttering impediment and he was considered a successful monarch after having to fill in for his brother who decided to step aside for love.

The Lincoln Project quick out of the blocks with a preview of things to come:

tom169

Great. A pro-dem organization posting a pro-dem video.

Giantaxe

It's a pro-Republican organization. The name "Lincoln" ought to have been the clue. Do keep up.

tom169

Yeah, and the DPRK has "Democratic" in the name.

I like how the Lincoln Project uses the current administration's own words to hang them. So much more effective that basing an argument on 'She's mean. She's nasty.'

Trump may have hijacked the Republican Party, but there are still decent Republicans out there who care.

"We do not undertake this task lightly nor from ideological preference. Our many policy differences with national Democrats remain. However, the priority for all patriotic Americans must be a shared fidelity to the Constitution and a commitment to defeat those candidates who have abandoned their constitutional oaths, regardless of party. Electing Democrats who support the Constitution over Republicans who do not is a worthy effort.

A few of their videos are duds, but most are effective and the best are the ones that - as you say - use Trump & Co's words against them. The covid videos are the best of the bunch imo.

Good to hear you agree that the Citizens United Supreme Court decision was a mess.

tom169

Complex topic.

Giantaxe

Maybe you should graduate past one sentence replies? You know actually give a reasoned opinion about something. Just a thought...

To me at the very end of that speech he looked confused. At least he didn't get her name wrong. I was waiting for the DJ might not be the DJ in this case but the person who plays the walk on music to play a blast of whose that lady.
