Don't we have real issues and difficult decisions of importance to make in this country? None of which are being discussed or debated in this thread. Another attempt to make a mountain out of a molehill by foolish posturing, twisting hypotheticals and outright baiting to distract from the seriousness of our democratic process. Sheesh, everyone thinks they are a Roger Stone!

The merits of her words or a rational thoughtful opposing opinion of her comments are worth discussing; but the sideshow and deliberate smear antics and attempts to divide and conquer with trash talking over pointless conjectures...boring and pitiful.

The Dumbing Down of America!

It's not important, and I'm guessing all you and similar posters are doing is showing how much you want us to believe that you're dripping in testosterone.
Exactly! I have to wonder how many of these keyboard ninjas would react if someone much bigger and stronger came at them unexpectedly.
Come on guys... go ahead and tell us all how you’d ruin them.

look harris not only showed no backbone by letting the guy take the mic from her, it seemed like gave it up willingly, but she then proceeded TO LEAVE THE STAGE, and had to be coerced into returning. and its not like she didnt know anything like this has happened in the past either, since she likely knew about sanders getting pushed into the background at one of his 2016 rallies by people that took over the stage. sorry but if she cant handle someone unexpectedly getting on the stage and trying to take the mic from her, then she needs to seriously rethink running for president.


you dont respond to bullies by meekly handing over what they want. you have to step up and stop them. remember most bullies are cowards.

50% of the people that post here, maybe more...made up their minds a long time ago whom they're going to vote for.

Many of the rest of us do not vote in either primary so really at this point.

My 2 cents about her is that her campaign and it's operatives have already had at least 2 articles on CNN about how Beto is "white and male" and then a second about how Bernie, Beto and Biden are "white and male".

I have not and will not be voting for Trump but the first time a democratic candidate opens their pie-hole and attacks me over my sex\gender I'll be voting 3rd party again in disgust.

With all due respect, the topic of Senator Harris' speech was equal pay for women. I don't believe anyone is asking or demanding that males be oppressed or not get paid for a job they perform.

Groups and people who fight for equality - whether on the grounds of race, gender, sexual preference, or anything else -exist as part of the fight to eradicate unfairness and special privilege and to level the playing field.

Asking for and achieving equality does not entail taking rights or privileges from white males, in the case of equal pay for women. Only in the heads of those who fear losing dominance.

It’s becoming more and more common in our current culture of social unrest: some folks out there have gotten it into their heads that “equality” and “special privilege” mean exactly the same thing.The irony is that those two concepts are actually polar opposites of one another. What intolerant people of the world are taking and running with is the entirely inaccurate idea that oppressed sectors of society believe that they should hold more power than their oppressors. This is not true.

Don't fall for it. Simply put, oppressed groups that fight for social change aren’t looking for a role-reversal; they’re just looking for equal treatment. It’s as easy as that.

Please, when they come up with that “women only make 78 cents for every dollar men make “ crap they are ignoring the many reasons for that gap and implying that women should make a dollar for every dollar. I am all for equal opportunity but that would never be enough for a lot of folks on the left.

I believe twenty odd men die on the job for every woman. I don’t see anyone wanting equality there.

So true! Harris did the right thing by leaving the stage - for all she knew it was some lunatic with a gun.


Either her security team OR the venue's security team needs to be fired.

I don't think I want their vision for our country.
I realize nothing the democrats do could compare to Rubio and Trump comparing penis size but we'll just have to get by without all that drama
