Can Kamala Harris actually define a position with substance on Social Justice issues for a Genetic Female?

[@MarilynSharpGraben-qi5oe]

Does she have the aptitude to be a leader in the 21st century. Does she have an original thought process for critical thinking and problem solving?

How come Kamala did not work on helping seniors retire with dignity already? Why are our retirement benefits still so low ? I already paid off my students loans. Too bad I can't get a partial refund. Pay the teachers more money. Make it happen now. What are you waiting for?

[@Katlife246]

@yumikodebold6197 Talk to your Governor and STATE congress about teacher pay. Each state has their own rules and laws. The President and VP do not set national pay grades, each state does their own. So that being said, Kampala Harris, nor Joe Biden can help with teacher pay raises, talk to your State government about that

[@melindaostergren8115]

The professor from Rice made several intriguing points well worth consideration. What I think is missing is an understanding of the fundamental training and strategies of prosecutors. I say this as the mother of 3 prosecutors, while also agreeing with the conversations about her performance in the 2020 race where she was outgunned. I put that down to not yet having operated at the national level. Experience teaches us many things. Harris is very bright and is a constant learner. So are successful prosecutors. When preparing for trial they start at the end, with writing their closing arguments. Why? Because it’s the ending of the story they want to share with their most important audience, the jurors. From the ending they assemble the relevant evidence, put it in a rational and most easily digestible order, building toward the end of the story as they seek to persuade their voters-the jury-that their case is more powerful than that of the defendant. Is it hard? Well of course it is. A trial deals with societal consequences. Verdicts come about because, in essence, the side who tells the better story tends to win. That means that both prosecutors and defense lawyers must do their best to gauge their voters and try to sway them with their story. Make no mistake: the resources available to Harris are extraordinary. Republicans also have myriad resources but they are saddled with a 78 year old man who is unable to stay on script or take any significant guidance and a VP candidate who doesn’t get that he’s supposed to be Mike Pence 2.0. I’ve not so far seen any real coverage on the importance of the support of disillusioned and highly sophisticated Republicans who are determined to do whatever they can to help defeat tfg.

Unionizing? Interesting. Is there a universal standard for benchmarks in education to measure the learning of students? Do most educators in the 21st century have curriculum development and techniques to understand how children learn at various stages in their psychological and moral development?

[@MarilynSharpGraben-qi5oe]

Do they even teach that anymore at Obama University?

[@MarilynSharpGraben-qi5oe]

HBCU is obsolete in the United States. Reconstruction is over 100 years old. Affirmative action is obsolete. The civil rights act of 1964 is in the 20th century. Why should US citizens in America give a damn about HBCUs? Tax payers should not fund them anymore.
