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.

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.

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

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.
