    Okay, so here’s what I don’t get:

    Democrats say half the country is racist and misogynist. Republicans say Democrats are trying to force “woke DEI” on them

    Democrats then proceed to run a black or Indian woman who lost her first primary and didn’t even have one this time on a platform of “If you don’t vote for me you’re a nazi”

    How the fuck did they think they would win a national election? Why would you choose a candidate you know half of people won’t vote for?

      First, I legit believe that Biden chose Harris as his VP as a pure accident. Biden had made a claim he was going to put a black woman on the Supreme Court, but when asked about his VP, he said something to the effect of “Yeah that too.” Since there weren’t exactly a lot of national level black women Democrats to choose from, he was basically stuck with Harris.

      Then they were stuck with Harris running for President because of something about how campaign finance laws are worded. Or something about how advertising on TV and billboards work. Kamala’s name was already registered on all the forms. I believe the deadline for even registering to run for president had passed them by as well.

      I truly believe the Democrats didn’t want to run her at all, but were stuck because Biden has a massive ego. By extension it’s Obama’s fault as well for manipulating the 2020 Democratic primaries to get Biden the nomination. Thanks Obama.
