Well, this makes it all better, I suppose.

Rep. Karen Bass on Sunday walked back 2016 comments praising Cuban leader Fidel Castro, as scrutiny of her views toward the Communist government threatened her potential selection as former Vice President Joe Biden's running mate.
On “Fox News Sunday,“ the California Democrat faced questions about several visits to Cuba in the 1970s and a statement she released after Castro's 2016 death saying that "the passing of the Comandante en Jefe is a great loss to the people of Cuba.”
Bass told Fox host Chris Wallace that her perspective "developed over time" and that she now understood that the Castro government "was a brutal regime." Bass said that she spoke with colleagues from Florida who raised concerns about her comments and that she "would not do that again, for sure."
"I absolutely would have not put that statement out," she said.

Based on a very quick and dirty pass over Karen Bass, I kind of like what I see. She has explained her Cuba thing and her Scientology thing, at least to my satisfaction, with grace and common sense. She seems very sensible and articulate.
Plus, I like her looks. She looks just very quietly stylish and well put together. She has a good smile. I like what used to be called the cut of her jib.
Never liked Harris; never really looked into her, but she looks harsh and impatient in every pic I've seen.
Anyone who admired Castro and his Cuba and indulged in Scientology has no business in government, much less the presidency. You may as well pick Jane Fonda.

I'm not touting her completely; I based my post on a few minutes worth of browsing. But I'm thinking the Castro thing, unless she followed up with more pro-Castro-ish activity later, happened when she was in her teens!
The Scientology thing I'm less sure about. What she says about it now sounds very benign, but who knows?
We just don't have that great a choice. Might have to go with less quality than we'd like. Is all I'm saying.
Edit: Of course, if Florida is thought to be that important and Floridians have set their faces agains her, then that's all she wrote, obvously.

She is 66 years old.
The comments about Castro were 4 years ago.

No, we don't have a great choice. She would make it worse still.

Than Biden and Bass? While I do not like Trump's style, his policies are more in line with my thinking.

I think he should pick Bass. Between her acting role in a movie titled "run motherfucker, run" and her lifelong radical Leftist views and her love of Castro and Communism, she'll be a great choice.
As for a choice, we have a good one. Vote for Trump. Stop asking yourself if you like the man and start asking yourself if you love our way of life. Because whether you like Trump the man or not does not matter, and is not important. But if you love the American way of life you've enjoyed all your life and want to keep it, Trump is the best hope you have.
Or, you can continue to wallow in your TDS and help fuck the country.

No, on this one he's dead right. All you have to do is look at Biden's policy positions. Right now, he's running in about the same political space as Bernie Sanders.
You think this woke stuff is killing the country? Put the full power of the Federal Government behind it. Or do you not remember the witch hunts on college campuses during Obama's tenure? Think about that on steroids...

Well, apparently Biden's lost Larry and Jolly. Pretty much the end of the line for him, I guess.
