@Susan_Larson_TN agreed. That list is terrible but it reflects the need for DEIB cultures in every level of govt. I’m from PA and I generally support Shapiro, but he’s also just a very good politician who is smart about making the right moves while supporting the same patriarchal, conservative systems that got him to where he is in the first place. I do see Whitmer there, but … still

πŸ˜”

@Susan_Larson_TN For a lot of conservatives, all they can say about Harris is the standard playbook whenever they're running against a woman.

Kristi Noem? Completely deserving of her career, which ultimately led to her current position as Governor.

But someone elected to serving as Alameda County prosecutor, DA for the State of California, U.S. Senator & Vice-President? Queue Roger Stone's remarks about kneepads...

@Susan_Larson_TN DEI, Woke, and other GOP slogans are just scare words made to hide the GOP's Project 2025 goals. Don't fall for it.
