Racism And Kamala Harris

[RVonse]

I suspect Emily gets most of her information from right wing social media. That's why she says she only sees x from Democrats/leftitists. I don't think she realizes that social media algorithms give her the things that reinforce her views and not the other sides views at all.

Its a good thing your not watching anything from left main stream media so we can all enjoy your omnipotent viewpoint.

The idea that there is a “left” mainstream media is yet another utter absurdity believed by Trumpkins.

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

First black woman named to SCOTUS and people still get their panties in a bunch over it.

 

[hurtinbuckaroo]

Biden limited consideration to women, not black women.

I could be wrong, but I believe he did limit it to black women. And that was perfectly OK.

Elizabeth Warren was on the short list to the very end.

 

[Jarhyn]

what will you do if Trump ends up winning? Are you going to be okay with it?

Are you suffering from some memory problem?
Fuck no! I can’t speak for anyone else, but you seem to be all alone in being okay with a rapist conman felon fraudster being President.

Yes. Emily is obviously a supporter but doesn't have the guts to come right out and say it. She worries about guys in women's spaces but supports a guy who entered a women's dressing room and raped a woman.

And this is why I can't take her seriously.

She supports Trump like Trump supports Project 2025: by saying everything except the fact of it.

Actually there is. Free Speech TV. Stephanie Miller Show, Thom Hartmann, Randi Rhodes, Gay USA, Democracy Now. All available there.

Spoken like a true right wing social medi consumer. Are you denying what I said about social media is true or do you just want to insult?

And you don't understand that this is actually a matter of playing with the definition of "qualified".

Except you are taking the word "qualified" and trying to make it an idol. You need electricity work done on your home? Let's grab 100 random people and find out what they do for a living. Looks like 3 are electricians. Tough to choose. I mean, we've got 97 people that don't know how to do electrical work and 3 that do. How are we going to select from this group of 100? How do you pick one?

You are wanting us to believe that we are just randomly grabbing people off the street and tossing them into positions.

I am not saying that at all.

The reality is that instead of choosing 100 random people, we are selecting 10 random electrical contractors. And then choosing from their qualifications, reviews, etc... Of course, picking "the right one" isn't exactly black and white.

When you have 10 it probably doesn't make sense to apply hard filters anymore. But what if you had 10,000? (By the time you're looking at a VP or SCOTUS pick that's not an unreasonable number.) Do you compare them? Or do you filter the pool by some means?

DEI is by stopping filtering at the point where filtering more would exclude all of those with your desired attribute(s), then claiming everyone still left is equally qualified. And, realistically, VP picks normally are. They aren't being selected as the most qualified, but as the most qualified that appeals to certain segments.

One of the qualifications for a vice presidential candidate is will the vp candidate draw more votes than another choice of vp candidate. Remember President Ford dropped Vice President Rockefeller because he thought keeping him on was detrimental to the ticket. So Ford picked Robert Dole who came across as just a bitter hatchet man. Ford later regretted dropping Rockefeller and admitted it was a mistake. Later research shows that in retrospect keeping Rockefeller probably would have helped Ford squeeze a victory over Carter.

keeping Rockefeller probably would have helped Ford squeeze a victory over Carter.

Hard to imagine the corporate State we might have now, had two Titans of American Industry (well, their progeny) been elected then. Bu now we'd be the United States Of AmazonX.

One thing that irked Ford was the idea of his vice president in the minds of many being the one really in charge because well, he was a Rockefeller. Ford picked him because he was perceived as hard on crime but also rather liberal for a Republican.

Not sure I would characterize those as part of “mainstream” media, though.

IOW, there is no leftist equivalent to Fox News in reach, power and incluence.

I’ve never heard of any of them, so I don’t get the “mainstream” label either.

I would like these pearl clutching MAGAtards try to explain to me the following;

I Harris is "just a DEI candidate", how the fuck was she able to motive people to volunteer for her campaign or raises the single largest amounts of donations in American history? A token shouldn't be able to do that.

 

[Elixir]

A token shouldn't be able to do that.

Unless they’re running against a 78 year old demented treasonous fascist criminal misogynistic rapist insurrectionist fraudster?

Unfortunately, no. I wish that were the case but it isn't.

They are just DEI donors, donating DEI time and DEI money.

 

[T.G.G. Moogly]

I don't know if anyone around here has noticed, but JD Vance's has a wife whose skin tone is about the same as Kamala Harris. This is going to be a problem for white replacement theorists.

But wait, there's more. She is Hindu, which is going to be a problem for Evangelicals and Christian Nationalists.

And maybe you thought this was enough, it's gets better, or worse. She is a vegan.

I don't think Kamala needs to worry about MAGA racists. They are going to be busy.

No wonder Trump jumped on the Vance ticket. Lots of Archie Bunkerisms loaded into one person.

 

[laughing dog]

My understanding of US history that after the Constitution was changed so tgat VP was not the booby prize, VP candidates typically were chosen to “balance “ the ticket in some fashion. IMO that made them DEI candidates. So all this caterwauling about Ms Harris was a DEI candidate as something new or out of the ordinary is just ignorance or hypocrisy or stupidity or racism.

 

[T.G.G. Moogly]

...ignorance or hypocrisy or stupidity or racism.

IOW an Orange worshipping republican.
