Opinions vary about her looks

Even if her mom was a stay at home mom, her dad being a Economics professor at Stanford puts that family in upper middle class, immediately.
Now, we add her mom as a biomedical scientist studying biology and oncology?
IF anything, in the palest form, we're looking at two parents who are firmly entrenched in the "intellectual elitist" category.

Anyone that espouses this garbage or votes for this garbage is an enemy of this country. They should have their own country & the other side theirs.

We (The United States of America) do have a right to say who enters the country. Can we exclude terrorists? Can we exclude someone infected with a deadly disease? Do you believe in sovereignty? We are a country of laws and we should enforce them.
They can nullify/negate/control them by other means. “They” need/want a president that will start a war
A majority in both houses, and a Harris presidency, will ruin this country. That's if you believe she's been honest in her past actions, not to mention what she has pledged to do. Ideologically, she's far closer to Sanders than she is to Biden or Pelosi.

Wait a minute. He's at a Sheriff's department yesterday, in Michigan, talking about Harris and her crime policy. He's specifically addressed the border issue (did yesterday, again.)
Where do you get "hardly mentions her policies?"
This just doesn't ring right. It's off key.
To me, it rings just like Michelle saying people didn't need to lose hope in these times. The entire convention, so far, appears to me like they are trying to pretend they haven't been in charge for the last three and a half years.

I really really hope we get all three branches of the government! I cannot state it enough how much I hope for that

The tweet that I commented on never mentioned entering the country, she said “no side has a monopoly on what being American is” and she is 1000% correct. Your side likes to scream “patriot” and y’all believe you have a monopoly on what being an American is and you’ve held the American flag hostage

Oh shit sorry, he mentioned it once yesterday in front of a SO, my bad. He’s mostly mentioned crowd sizes and how pretty she was on the Time cover and how he thinks he’s better looking

Separating the two. That way each can fight amongst themselves for the dominate faction of their countries and run it to their utopian ideals.

It's the truth. What else would you call a professor at Stanford and a Biochemist? Blue collar workers? Her father taught classes at Northwestern and Yale. But, yeah, that's middle class.
Simple logic test. Let's see if you find this cute.
Is Stanford considered an elite university? Yes. Would that also mean those who were tenured professor there are part of this elitist group? Yes. One, and one, equals?
Let's use Venn Diagrams if that makes it easier...

So, if a person goes to a good school that means they’re elitists?It's the truth. What else would you call a professor at Stanford and a Biochemist? Blue collar workers? Her father taught classes at Northwestern and Yale. But, yeah, that's middle class.

Well, whatever class her parents were in, they didn’t help her much with school

Why are you trying to make this complicated when it's right in front of your eyes. There was no reason for anyone to lie about her upbringing and claim "middle class." None, what so ever.
Her father taught at Northwestern. It is considered one of the top fifteen schools in this nation. It's elite. Stanford is elite. There is nothing wrong with a University being elite. That's why kids strive to attend these schools.
And, be default, those who are tenured professors at these schools are also elite. It's an intellectual setting, in the top fifteen locations in the US.
Her mother was a Biochemist studying Oncology at one of the leading cancer research centers. It's an elite facility staffed by elite scientist.
Middle class isn't found here.
