Kamala's storytelling
I love how Kamala works in her middle class upbringing in interviews and during the debate. I'd love to hear a little more like, what sort of household chores did she have to do growing up.
Like most of us here at DU I had to take out the garbage, wash dishes, mow the lawn, vacuum, and clean. I'd also love to hear an interviewer ask Trump what sort of chores he had to do around the house when he was growing. up.

No one has replied to this low post DUmmie. I brought it over for the bolded. It seems that anytime Kamala Chameleon is asked what she would do to make things better she goes into her "I grew up middle class" programming instead of actually answering the question. She's used this pivot several times now, and I've noticed something about it. Each time she says it, it seems like she's shaking her head to the negative. Maybe that doesn't mean anything, but I seem to remember an article from 20 years or so back that said that is an individual's way of letting you know that she is lying. Maybe I'm remembering wrong.

Q: "Kamala, what steps would you take to create your opportunity economy?"
A: "I was born a poor black child..."

:rotf: Okay, that's funny and matches up with her canned answer pretty well. The first time she mentioned 'opportunity economy' my wife asked what that meant. I told her that it probably meant that under her administration you'd have the opportunity to work your ass off and still be as poor (or poorer) than the non-workers that you're supporting.

Also recall that study, as I notice behaviors when conducting job interviews.
Here's a relevant similar explanation from this year at Time Magazine of all places:
How to Tell if Someone Is Lying to You, According to Experts
They’ll repeat the same story over and over
Let’s say you ask your partner what they were doing on Wednesday night. After they fill you in, respond: “That sounds neat. I wish I had been there—tell me more about what happened.” People who are telling the truth tend to talk in a natural, free-flowing way, Colwell says—they aren’t worried about getting caught. So they’ll supply new, relevant details they didn’t include the first time around.
People who are lying, on the other hand, tread carefully. They might talk a lot, but “they’ll tell you the same thing they just told you, the same as how they already said it,” Colwell says. “They’re making sure they don’t contradict themselves and give information that could lead to them getting caught.” If you’re hearing a whole lot of the same thing, continue asking specific questions—and it will likely soon become obvious that you’ve discovered a lie.
They’ll be oddly chronological
People who are lying tend to tell stories chronologically, Colwell notes—as opposed to those who are being truthful, who will go from the most important parts to the least important. If you don’t have anything to hide, “the first thing you’re going to remember is the most important piece of that event, and then the rest of it will come back,” he says. “If you know you’re going to lie, you’ve practiced and you have a script—and scripts start at the beginning and end at the end. Scripts don’t start in the middle.”
Their sentences may be full of qualifiers
Some lies are indirect: People omit crucial facts or feign forgetfulness. In these cases, they’ll often answer questions with questions, Clemente says. Consider the famous scene in Seinfeld where Elaine’s friend asks her if she’s having an affair with George. “Why would you think I was having an affair with George?!” a frazzled Elaine responds. (Spoiler alert: She wasn’t, but she was covering for George, who had gone on a date with Marisa Tomei.) Or, when asked if he killed his brother, a murderer might respond: “Why would I want to hurt Jack?” If you ask a yes-or-no question, Clemente says, pay close attention if you don’t get a straight response.
People who are lying by omission also tend to be vague or evasive by using phrases like “I think,” “probably,” “sort of,” “maybe I was,” and “I started to,” Clemente points out. “If somebody says, ‘I started to drive to work, and then when I got there….,’ they probably edited out what happened in between,” he says.
They’ll sound different
Paying attention to non-linguistic verbal cues—like tone, volume, pace, and pitch—can be revealing. People who are telling the truth usually speak in a consistent way, Clemente says; those who are lying are likely to have a broken rate, with variations in pitch and amplitude. “If somebody’s under stress, their pitch might go up quite a bit,” he says. “Their pace might slow down because they're trying to think, or it might be really fast because they're so nervous.”

Interesting. So it sounds like if the author were to be honest, she would also think that KC is lying.
By the way, now that I think about it, I can't remember if I learned the head shake thing from an article or from the short lived series "Lie to Me". My wife was hooked on that show.

From what I've heard and read she was not raised middle class. She was raised in maybe very upper middle class, if you want to call being raised privileged that.
Amazing how they sanitize/scrub everything online about these people nowadays. I know I remember a video of someone asking her how to pronounce her name YEARS ago and she said "It's Kamala like Pamala but with a 'K'."
I know I saw that and didn't dream it, but I can't find that video anywhere.
KC

She’s actually ms rude black privilege. When you hear how she treats people that worked for her it shows who she really is.
I remember seeing her dress down an admiral in a hearing because he said yes mam instead of addressing her as senator. She was really rude to him.

You want to hear about what chores she did...

...Why?
Harris should be talking about things that are relevant to the position she's seeking, like her policy proposals, her ability to lead, and so on.

If Hunter is the smartest person he knows what does that really say about heels up? :popcorn:

I don't think she knows yet because the puppet masters haven't told her. With that said, I think reading the DU stuff again has messed my mind somehow because thinking about her policy proposals and her ability to lead made this pop into my mind: I bet she wouldn't have to ask Mr. Owl how many licks it takes to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop.
