Ok, some of this is straight up Captain Obvious quotes but anyway...
Anyone who thinks it is "interesting to see" racism "coming out of the woodwork" from the right needs to rethink the bubble they live in. Perhaps also consider the totality instead of just how things affect themselves for a change? One-issue vote against "meritocracy" has condemned millions of people in the same racial demo- brown people of origins outside the nativist anglo dome- to a world of hurt and probably are endangering themselves to boot.
Pardon me, did she not see how they all treated Vance’s INDIAN WIFE. He had to basically beg them all to stop in an interview. And yet this lady is somehow special and they are all going to respect her? GTFOH
And Harris is an Indian American. She offhand refers to her as a DEI hire, even though she was a top prosecutor, the former AG of California (the most powerful state in the union) and the VP.
She was actually a DEI hire though. Biden promised to hire a black female VP. If Kamala Harris was white, Biden would've picked someone else.
And the main reason she was picked to run for office after Biden dropped out was so they could continue using the campaign money Biden raised.
And if Joe Biden were black, Obama wouldn't have picked him to appeal to white moderates. It turns out that most politicians get elected based on the demographics they appeal to.
And also only Democrats do this sort of thing. Republicans just select the best candidates. Trump didn't select Vance because of his race, and in 2028, when Vance or Ramaswamy wins the primary, it will be because of their policies and intellect and not because of their race.
Uh... bruh, do you not remember Sarah Palin? Hell, even Pence was chosen to appeal to evangelical Christians who were initially put off by Trump. Neither of them were the "best candidate." They were chosen to shore up a demographic that the lead candidate wasn't reaching - literally diversity hires. Even back in the old days when everybody was a 50-something-year-old white dude, vice presidential candidates were usually chosen to appeal to a different demographic or a different part of the country than the presidential candidate. For instance, Nixon chose Agnew (despite his mediocre experience of being a county executive and governor for two years) because it was thought that he would appeal to southerners.
Trump has fully solidified Republican support so he doesn't have to bother with any of that. Instead, Peter Thiel chose someone he thought had enough star power to be a potential Trump successor. If Vance hadn't written a book/movie, he never would have been on the ticket.
I'm not sure how you do political analysis but I can tell you the result is... poor. They went with Kamala because they ignored the red flags about Biden's health due to the incumbent advantage. When that disappeared last minute there was no time do a proper primary so you had to go with "Most Name Recognition Dem" which was the VP.
Not sure why you feel compelled to repeat the same nonsense over and over again despite being proven wrong before even saying it the first time, but you do you my little mouthbreathing boo.
It’s also important to note that less visible =/= “less qualified”. That’s a very misguided and bigoted understanding of the purpose of DEI. I’m not sure why that’s so hard to understand.
It's not racist and misogynistic to say that Biden only hired her because she was black when Biden explicitly said that he would only consider black women when deciding who to hire, and therefore he wouldn't have hired her if she was white.
Democrats are the real racists for trying to pander to minorities by putting them in positions of power, as if they're homogenous groups who all want the same stuff.
As a white person, I would prefer Vivek Ramaswamy for President rather than Bernie Sanders because I prefer Ramaswamy's policies. And yet Democrats think other races don't vote based on policies but rather the race of the candidates.
Like I said, you really don't get why what you said was racist.
Also, yeah, the Democrats pander to minorities but so did Trump. He pondered out one side of his mouth to minorities and out the other to his racist base. Then again, the Democrats, as shitty as they are, have to appeal to a broad range of demographic groups with distinct and unique challenges. It's a distinguished pandering as opposed to Trump's vulgar othering of anyone who doesn't fit the proper profile.
How does that differ from wanting a white dude from the mid-west to “round out the ticket” and appeal to voters? You go with the running mate that you think will get you the most votes.
