Locked post so I can't comment

"Why are some Liberals voting for Kamala Harris based on the fact that she is Black/a woman? Don’t get me wrong there’s is nothing wrong with voting for which ever candidate you want. But voting for her or any candidate simply because they share a similar racial classification or sex is strange. It’s so weird to hear people chant about having the first “Black woman President” when that should not even be a factor in voting for someone. To be frank, I do not care about the race or sex of a candidate so long as they deliver on the tangibles and policies they claim to enforce. Just because you share a similar race as a candidate doesn’t mean they have your best interest at heart nor will they uplift your community into better conditions. So my question is why are people so focused on her Race and gender? I do not see a lot about her policy circulating around discussions, and people are too invested with her being the “first ____ President” in history."

So, pretending race and gender don't matter is a nifty move, it almost makes it seem like it doesn't matter to you, but denial of race and gender oppression is really quite offensive to me.

Second, it's the right who's making the most of an issue out of it with their vague misogynistic and white supremacy rhetoric. The whole goal is to other people, create out groups, divide America. A mixed race woman is the perfect way to jam up Trump, who likes to keep his racism and misogyny vague and only hinted at, a wink to his voters. 

Third, if the appellations felon, pedophile, rapist don't mean anything to you and you're quibbling about that, there's something wrong with you.

The ask a liberal has all these annoying conservatives who think they're crafty, no wonder the post was locked while I was writing out my reply.

It's really quite special.  In the last gallery the painting this sketch is based off of, of the execution of a Mexican president. The painting has been cut into sections, and the surviving Degas has reassembled them. NY Times review

AOC

Dark Brandon meet Dark Alex. I see her advising the republicans to stick to their guns and never compromise. They don’t want to do anything, only obstruct. So they don’t actually need to be unified. Chaos isn’t organized. This is fine. Read all about it from Heather Cox Richardson , a historian who covers current events. "As their policies threatened to lose voters by concentrating wealth upward and hollowing out the middle class, Republicans increasingly warned that minority voters wanted socialism and were destroying the nation to get it. Trump rode that narrative to power, and now tearing down the current government is the idea that drives the Republican base." While we're at it, here's another funny photo from the Onion: And then: I listened to the Times podcast about George Santos . He basically lied about, I don't know, 80% of his resume, and has a mysterious $700k in his "corporation" which has no clients. So he's a Russian or Chinese plant, o...
