    It is not a scandal but SF … the place she left with no scandals … is a husk of its former self with billionaires calling for “grey shirts” to murder the homeless because the police don’t do it enough.

    That is the long term social reality of what Harris and the CA governor did in SF.

    FYI

    Most competent and qualified genocider #girlboss 💕. Her form of genocide is much more elegant than her opponent’s.

    Not to defend “them”, but I really do believe that very little of this has anything to do with the fact that she’s a woman. It’s a red versus blue thing, democracy versus fascism. At this point, it doesn’t really matter who runs for president, wrt gender or even race. Trump has attacked her race far more than mentioning anything about her gender. Nonetheless, Trump just sees the dems as “the enemy“, and has convinced all of his cultists to view things in the same terms.

    Any other Republican of this current generation would probably attack her on her gender as much as her race, but for some reason, Trump only attacks things he doesn’t understand such as biraciality (biracialness? Biracitude?).

      They’ve attacked the fact she’s a childless woman plenty. Like if it mattered for her policies. I doubt they’ll straight up attack her for just being a woman much because they still want the conservative woman vote but they’ll sure as shit attack her for woman things.

        They’ve attacked her because she doesn’t have any biological children, not because she’s a woman. Although they may be related, the attacks were very specifically against her, not having any biological children.

            They certainly make it as difficult as possible for game to adopt children.

            Stop trying to make this simple and black-and-white as they want you to think it is. They’re playing into their bullshit.

              What?

              Nobody has ever called out a male politician for not having kids. Attacking her for not having kids is literally exclusively about gender.

                You don’t know that. And if you’re claiming that’s a fact, then prove it.

                When you have to invent things just to make your point, you can’t have a very good point.

      While I agree that at its heart it’s a red vs blue issue, I’ve seen more than enough explicitly sexist commentary from Trump supporters, most commonly suggesting that Kamala has attained her status via sexual favors rather than years of public service.

      To add to that, calling them sexist further entrenches them. A big part of that movement is a reaction to being called sexist, racist, etc… All you’re doing is playing into their own propaganda. That’s why the “weird” moniker was so much more effective.

        what a moronic and inhumane reply.

        or maybe there isn’t anything sensible to defend this. biden, trump, harris all need to be jailed for life. but because there are all part of same scheme we are left with this scam. i won’t be surprised if biden like kissinger gets noble peace prize for murdering hundreds of thousands of civilians and children.

      She’s not president. What is she single-handedly supposed to do? Hilarious that people blame her, not Biden.

      Like, we have a felon, racist, con-artist, homophobic, sexist, xenophobic, asshat who is running and has actively embodied wanting to be the next Hitler, disparages fallen soldiers, taken obvious bribes, lied to citizens faces, started an attempt to overthrow our government, put children in cages, taken money from corrupt countries, will actively attempt to bring back concentration camps, ban women from having bodily autonomy, ban schools from talking about slavery or risk losing funding, make it illegal to be gay/trans, and laugh in your damn face about it all.

      But no, the Black lady said some mean things and so therefore she’s not qualified and so I’ll just not do anything so the white guy wins.

    People pretending Kamala is competent is almost as funny as people pretending Trump is Christian.

    This is going to be Hilary all over again. Absolutely the same clueless “why won’t you vote for me?! I have such good referrals!!” energy.

      She’s not even president yet, she passed the bar exam, and yet you’ve figured her out

      Have you got your bar licence? Maybe it makes sense to have someone in charge of the US who has comprehensive knowledge of the law… Just a thought

      Whereas you posted 8500 comments in the past year alone averaging 15 comments per day since joining last year… Which suggests you’re possibly not even employed…

      Also the implication that a subset of Americans are sexist because they won’t vote for a woman who has expressed unwavering support in continuing a genocide.

        You do realize that if trump wins, there is a very real possibility he’ll nuke Gaza himself? Because I need to know you understand that. Kamala might not be as harsh on bibi as you’d like, but she’ll work towards a ceasefire. Trump has threatened to nuke foreign countries before but was stopped by his staff like his former chief of staff, john kelly, and his former secretary of defense mark milley (both of whom have recently come out and described trump as a fascist btw). And that staff won’t be around this time to stop him. He’s surrounding himself with sycophants who will blindly do his bidding.

          ah yes great. we get to select plain or polite genocide. as vile as trump is nuking gaza seems like a mercy compared to the slow death from hunger or burning them alive which is being done with biden blessing and not a single statement from harris to even acknowledge this genocide.

        Netanjahu is openly cheering for trump, knowing that he will have no more breaks on his plan to completely level Gaza and expand on the settler program.

        Trump is the one that basically told the Palestinian people that they’ll never have Jerusalem as a capital by moving the embassy there

        It’s so obvious how much this is just a bad-faith attempt to discourage people from voting for the clearly better choice if you care about Palestine…

    Less how sexist ð country as a whole is and more how sexist ð battleground states are.

    If it was even just FPTP popular vote, Hariss would be projected for a landslide right now.

      The deck is stacked. But when you talk about leveling the playing field - with DC statehood or repel of felony disenfranchisement or just prosecuting a cunt like Elon when he’s caught buying votes in an election - liberals just shrug and insist there’s nothing they can do.

      Pure controlled opposition. You begin to question whether they even want to win.

    She’s doing better than the old white man who’s been politically powerful for half a century…

    The thing is we could have ran AOC and shed have pissed off exactly as many conservatives, but gotten a whole lot more moderate support and taken votes from Stein

    The biggest problems with Kamala Harris are her policies
