v3xIt's pretty wild to see the racism (and to a lesser extent misogony) on the left out in the open with the Kamala Harris bid. All of this talk like "say what you will, people just don't like her" is just a racist dogwhistle. Most of these people aren't talking about any actual policy stances.
If we constantly hold the position that America needs to be "ready" for diverse leadership, it will never fucking happen. The people they're talking about needing to be "ready" are white people who don't want to confront their biases.
Also, these same people are the people who were crying that the left needs to just unite under the Biden ticket so we have a chance at winning. Now, faced with a Harris ticket, that rhetoric has switched sides. It's now the NY Times types calling for unity and the rest saying "people just don't like her"
