"There are three chief reasons for the right’s relentless bashing of Kamala Harris. Those reasons do not include her laugh, or her 'scant experience on the world stage,' or the way she pronounces the word 'the.'

The three reasons are:

She’s a Democrat.

And a person of color.

And a woman."

~ Mark Jacob

And as M. Jacob says, to their great discredit, the corporate media are willing to play along with this racist misogyny.

@wdlindsy

also has the Israeli State against her now, are they calling her Anti Semitic yet?

They will try do to her what they did to Corbyn in the UK.

I really hope she defies them and becomes the first female US President.

@jonburr Not the first time the Israeli state and the hard-right in the US have been in bed together, is it?

@wdlindsy She's also incredibly effective, and I have read, well-loved outside the US.

wdlindsy OP ,
@wdlindsy@toad.social avatar

@flowerpot Yes, and understandably loved and admired elsewhere.

@wdlindsy Few words terrify them quite as much as these two: President Harris.

@wdlindsy@toad.social avatar

@chriswho So much so. A woman, progressive, and not white.

@wdlindsy

Republicans bash Harris because they are racist and sexist. I bash Harris because her office in California worked to keep people imprisoned so the state could exploit them as slave labor to fight wildfires. We are not the same.

@RD4Anarchy @HeavenlyPossum Since your two smear comments about Kamala Harris are attached to no postings I've made, I'm going to assume that you're trolling. I don't welcome trolls in my feed.

@wdlindsy @RD4Anarchy Just fyi, it looks to me like they were replies to someone else who replied to your post about Kamala Harris and that you may have blocked that account, which could explain the appearance of RD's posts not being "attached" to yours.

RD's posts pointed out documented actions and comments by Harris, how is this a "smear"?

@wdlindsy People now need to recognize that the major media outlets are now MAGA collaborators.

wdlindsy OP ,
@wdlindsy@toad.social avatar

@timo21 Yes. I agree.

@wdlindsy Isn't this just the more GOP and corp media doing their usual gaslighting, feigning outrage and providing disinformation?

wdlindsy OP ,
@wdlindsy@toad.social avatar

@Piousunyn Well, it is, I suppose, but not sure I'd say it's "just" that. It's misogyny and racism wrapped up together, and for that reason, seems to me to deserve serious attention.

@wdlindsy I mean, she did try to overturn an election.

Oh wait! That was someone else.
