To think women should now help Kamala Harris?

I read that Kamala Harris (or, to be more precise, her campaign) is now badly in debt.

Do you think it would help if her many supporters across the world, but especially on Mumsnet and in "progressive" countries like Norway and Ireland, rallied around and helped to pay off this deficit?

Like another US politician said, surely there is "a special place in hell" for women who abandon the woman they previously supported? Would it hurt if you sent her just £20?

Excited for Kamala 2028...

She could also take some ironing in.

If KH were on here, Mumsnetters would be advising her to sell her suits on Vinted.

She would have had my vote if I could vote. But not my money!

Pissed it away. I thought that was obvious… I mean Beyoncé ain’t cheap for 10 minutes of speaking.

Call me naive but I never even considered that celebrities might have been paid to appear.

I always thought they dud because if their political views.

FupaTrooper · 08/11/2024 06:14

I think most of us on here are more concerned about our own debts, the cost of living and scary retirements.

She is in a far better position than 99% of us.

lasagnelle · 08/11/2024 06:07

No, I'm sure the campaign is well run and has budgeted accordingly

TheoriginalMrsDarcy · 08/11/2024 06:06

I read somewhere Beyonce cost $20million to support the campaign. If these celebs were serious about backing Harris, they should do it for free.

What did they do with the billion dollars she raised?

Haha.. I did get a text today asking me to donate (thank god only one compared to the 20 I’ve been getting daily for 6 months). Let me get in line to hand over cash… no wait instead I think I will thank heaven and green apples she (and her incompetent cronies) are not in a position to affect national spending. 😁

love your post @PrincessOlga , satirical humor at it’s best!

VelvetUnderwear · 08/11/2024 00:06

Yeah it would hurt me to give 20 pounds actually. I'm struggling as it is like many British people are.

VelvetUnderwear · 08/11/2024 00:05

The UK is undergoing a COL situation, this is pretty tone deaf!

Notaflippinclue · 07/11/2024 20:49

Over a billion dollars - pooft

The adjective is democratIC. The way you're using the phrase is a deliberate trumptard put-down that he's been pushing since he first got into office.

Livinginaclock · 07/11/2024 19:48

Hahaha, no.

Livelovebehappy · 07/11/2024 19:12

Okay, I’m going to assume you’re being genuine here (although suspect your post is probably meant as sarcasm), and would say that she will not have paid from her own purse for the campaign. The very well funded Democratic Party will be funding it, and am sure all costs will be accounted for, with a few billion left over for a decent farewell party too….

Harris, 60, and her husband, Douglas Emhoff, also 60, are worth about $8 million, according to an estimatee_ by Forbes.

CreationNat1on · 07/11/2024 18:51

Do the Democratic party not have a finance department? Why didn't they budget correctly? Who approved the over spend?

GrumpyPanda · 07/11/2024 18:49

TheKeatingFive · 07/11/2024 12:23

Wtf? She's not paying for it herself, it's Democrat party money.

Why should women in particular send Kamala Harris money? I think it's a great shame for the world thst she didn't win the election but nothing to do with her bro no a woman - it's because Trump is several sandwiches short of a picnic. I don't give a toss whether if a candidate in an election is a man or woman.

MySistersCard · 07/11/2024 18:42

It’s not her money- it’s party money. Why on earth would people donate to her?

SoupDragon · 07/11/2024 18:41

I would but I sent all my spare money to a Nigerian Prince.

Harris has not just abandoned but comprehensively betrayed the women imprisoned with rapists and other violent men; the women and girls whose sports are being invaded by male athletes and having their lives turned around by that; the lesbians being harassed for being transphobic if they’re not interested in “ladydick”; the women having to share bedrooms and showers in “women’s” homeless shelters with adult males - and of course the confused, vulnerable teenage (or even pre-teen!!) girls on puberty blockers/testosterone and/or having double mastectomies when they’ve barely been through puberty.

What special place do you think she deserves for that, OP?

Aye, the candidate that centred reproductive rights in her campaign really abandoned and betrayed women. Hmm
