If only this was a year ago.
These people wouldn't have come out for Kamala.
She was a "colored" woman... IMO the US still has a problem.
The Israeli deliver-the-shit-they-got-80-years-ago-and-all-politicians-are-blind-to-it thing was only icing on the we-want-the-good-ole-boyz cake.
The issue with Harris is that its both.
Obviously there's the sexism/racism component which is gross, and shouldn't fucking be a thing.
But she's also a genocide supporting, hard-line law-and-order DA. So a lot of people are refusing to vote at all over that.
Would've loved to see AOC run, though I don't know if she had hit 35 in time yet.
AOC was valid to run. The rule is the candidate must turn 35 before January 20, which she did.
But both candidates were pro-genocide... that wasn't a differentiating issue.
Notice how I said they didn't vote, not they voted for trump.
And, I say this as someone who voted for Harris:
Not voting is a vote for the candidate you like the least, but most people who made that decision weren't actively thinking that, and to pretend they where is in extremely bad faith.
