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.

Edit: And a US Senator

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.

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.

And like I said, she was the VP because of DEI.

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.

Biden explicitly promised to pick a woman of color for his VP

u/PurpleEyeSmoke 5d ago

Yeah, and since no woman of color could ever be qualified for the VP spot, it's a DEI hire. Especially not one with all of her qualifications!

Do you hear how stupid you sound yet?

DEI hires aren't necessarily unqualified. They're just less qualified than an alternative option.

Les qualified in that she isn’t a man, that is what you really mean right?

u/Candace_Diqfittin 5d ago

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.

I know you don't understand why, but that is an extremely racist and misogynistic thing to assert.

u/Me-Myself-I787 5d ago

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.
