one question i have, what is the evidence of a commitment to "race-based hiring" other than this tendentious claim? https://bsky.app/profile/mistergeezy.bsky.social/post/3lpmjrdx7hs2c

The ‘super year’ of elections has been super bad for incumbents as voters punish them in droves

Except that Biden picked her as his running mate in 2020 and he WON
So if her black vagina was so repulsive shouldn’t it have cost him the election in 2020?
This man’s thought process (and I use that term loosely) has more holes than Swiss cheese
Many such cases, unfortunately.
Harris lost because an ungodly amount of money and corruption washed over this country and they control the voices people hear on TV, the radio and even social media. also voter suppression.
Propaganda works.

I’ll allow for the peculiarities of 2020, but really this is a stupid take.
- dude who is totally not racist
I am grateful.
Had to take a peak at your profile... I'm a grandmother. We grandparents need to stick together.
But they pick ONE latina and ONE black woman and everyone suddenly wonders if they’re the most qualified. A question NEVER asked of Roberts, Alito, or Gorsuch and BARELY asked of ACB
Literally good politicians need to represent the people in the country
So democrats should be proud that they’re doing the right thing and finding people who meet a broad set of qualifications
"Barro is the son of Harvard University professor and macroeconomist Robert Barro.[4] After growing up in Massachusetts, Barro received a bachelor's degree in psychology from Harvard University.[5] While in college, he spent a summer interning for Grover Norquist.[6]"(wiki)
Of course there was no chance they'd allow Bernie.
Anyone else is a DEI hire.
Dedicating their time and publicity to demonstrating how fucking awful it is that people in our electorate are still racist or misogynistic. And how we should change that.
Hope you’re having a mostGrateful kind of day⚡️🤙🏼

No MLB team had any black ballplayers before Robinson. There were plenty of players available but nobody hired them
(that Page fellow was supposed to be a hell of a pitcher!)
Which probably means there's people in both camps, just not sure of the ratio.
Strange how those framings always seen to happen.
Those who turn up their white noses now disgust me.
That’s some Olympic-level gymnastics.
In other words don’t upset the cracker barrel.
This is at the heart of anti-DEI.
They think diversity is racist, misandrist and performative, not an effort to open the doors to opportunity wider and ameliorate bias.
but thats not why democrats lost. They lost because of racism, sexism, and total capture of media/information environment by capitalist class
but by that same token, debauched evil lascivious trump ALWAYS picks a christian/catholic VP, to appeal to the base who is christofascist and put off by his immoral behavior.
Its both sides doing that - the veep helps signal
and uplifting progressive voices who act like a MMR vaccine from recruiting people "beat and rape people for what they did at 19 25 years ago"
"no its cuz she was bad and we are good and right punch nazis if u sit with nazi u are nazi, nazi is DNA molecules evil stain"
if competence mattered trump would have like no support at all
its cuz of bigotry and that is getting worse from media capture, while the same billionaires hire insane progs to vaccinate the population
and they literallyd o not know the same billionaires making maga uplifted this
I looked it up and found an article saying he was "pressured" to choose a Black woman to inspire the base. I guess that's it. 🤷🏻♀️
Harris was qualified to be VP an POTUS.
Even if I'm remembering right about Biden promising a Black, female VP before choosing Harris, Rs have done it too.
Reagan promised the 1st female SCOTUS. Bush 2 promised a Black man for SCOTUS.
Those were DEI hires. 🙄

What matters is they knew Biden couldn't possibly serve another term, so they certainly game-planned what to do - and those plans didn't include real primaries so we could pick the nominee.
Right?
I don't like Kamala's vibes, but acting like she's unqualified is just F'n ignorant.
(Let me say for posterity they I *sincerely hope* that I am joking here.)
But at no point did I meet any BIPOC in the Administration whose intelligence, dedication, or commitment to service I questioned. All great policymakers and public servants.
That post is horrible, but it was set up by his statements.
How about “I will pick the best person?” That was true.
No, no not at all. Unlike rus ASSet repoobs, in both cases Biden selected the VASTLY most qualified person.
I point to the damn signs!!
Also, he is implying that she did not reach that position on merit.
"Data?! Not here! We go off vibes and anecdote! The closest to data we get are cherry-picked IQ stuff and Colbert-esque "data-iness" about Applebee's Salad Bars."
I mean that guys a dick. But am I a dick for thinking she was picked to help carry demographic votes?
"tell me you're a racist by ABSOLUTELY telling me you're a racist."
Nothing says commitment to "race-based hiring" like sub-2% hiring rates.
Democrats lost in 2024 because America hated its status quo and wanted it burned down, at literally all costs.
Democrats could have won in 2024 only if they had foreseen that self-immolative vibe from 2021.
More to the point, contra Barro, Kamala Harris has fuckall to do with any of that.
He needs to get the fuck out of his bubble.
Yes. Democrats. So obsessed with only electing people of color. Obviously. 🙄
Imagine being in such a deathly fever dream that he can imagine that Harris is inferior to Trump by any objective measure.
I went from Washington, D.C. to Pennsylvania to canvass for her three times and each time there were at least 4-5 charter buses full of volunteers coming just from D.C.
WE is doing a hell of a lift here.
Who is the great Dem candidate that would have cleaned Trump’s clock in the hinterlands of the rust belt while also securing turnout in swing state urban areas and also keeping the 2020 suburban white lady %?
🙄
Nothing a non-white man does is ever earned, while everything white men do is merited.
Because ppl like @joshbarro.bsky.social and @sawyerhackett.bsky.social (yep, naming names) make outrageous unsupported statements based on *implicit* assumptions but then are not (often) called out on the dogwhistles
