Hey
@Vambram, ever notice that for some reason....those on the left don't like it when you refer to someone as a "DEI hire", despite the fact that they support DEI?
It's part of the left's current problem of not having any real values as a party. I think people get confused by the word values there....I'm not talking about religious values necessarily, but any political values at all. They don't actually stand for anything.
The whole point of DEI was this idea that "meritocracy" is bad....because it's imperfect...and people who made that argument typically used some bizarre and incorrect description of a meritocracy to justify it.
Yet when you point out the fact that someone....like Kamala Harris....was a DEI hire, they don't approve. We all know the major complaint of the 2020 Democratic primary was "too many old white men" with Bernie and Joe rather consistently outperforming their competition in the primary. Kamala Harris did awful...after Tulsi Gabbard topedoed her chances....she was picked as VP for 1 reason, she wasn't white or male or particularly old. It's a job that doesn't really require much....except for the occasional need to drag her in front of cameras to answer questions because they couldn't do that with Biden. He's answered the fewest questions in front of the press (despite getting favorable coverage from the left 95% of the time regardless of how badly he failed) of any president in recent history. 10 times a year on average....less than half of Trump who received unfavorable coverage from the press 95% of the time.
So what the Democratic Party really needed from Kamala was to just say things that at least sounded smart. She failed at even that. She was for defunding the police....even though she sent thousands of people to jail over marijuana, almost had a man executed to keep her record as a prosecutor, and couldn't even justify these decisions when pressed on them lightly. 2021 media coverage of her only tried to excuse her complete failure as Border Czar....and talked about her losing staff at a high rate because she's terrible to work with. Just months before Biden revealed his lacking mental capacity to everyone who has been asleep the last 3 years.....she was lying about it right to the press' face without shame or hesitation.
She's a DEI hire....she was hired for reasons that aren't accomplishments or merit. She arguably achieved less than Jared Kushner....despite him having more on his plate than her and 0 prior experience in politics lol.
She's a DEI hire....Didn't Earn It.
Nobody likes it when she's called a DEI hire because it suggests that she lacked merit....which she does. Yet if meritocracy is bad and DEI is a good thing and not just racist....then calling her a DEI hire should also be a good thing. This is one of many examples of the lack of any real values in the current Democratic Party.
I'll be referring to her as a DEI hire through the election and if somehow she wins....through her presidency. After all, nobody is voting for her because of her political positions or achievements. Nobody knows her political positions except for dumping more money on a losing war in the Ukraine and she's pro-abortion. I don't think she'll actually be able to coherently describe any political positions because they quite literally have to be given to her.....she has to be told them. Is she still for defunding the police? They killed more people in 2023 than they did in 2020 so it seems like she should be....but just watch, I bet she flipped on it because it's no longer popular.
She got shoved into this spot because 90 million+ dollars was frozen by the corporations that now call the shots for the Democratic Party. Once Biden was forced out by corporate donors....the money spigot was turned back on. There's quite literally no time for anyone else to run anyway....so Democratic Party voters never even had a real primary. Is that a problem? Not for the 33% of blue voters who would vote for a bucket and mop leaned against a podium.
Democracy isn't under threat from a guy who literally took a bullet and still wants to improve the US by fixing the border and spending tax dollars on US citizens instead of Ukrainians. Never forget that actual facists always want to control media for control over propaganda. When the media largely disliked Kamala for 3.5 years because it was obvious she was a total dud....and flipped into this fake love of Kamala for....being a non-white, non-male, stuffed suit....it's rather clear which party is working in conjunction with the propaganda machines. A vote for Harris isn't a vote against fascism....and it's certainly not a vote for Democracy. She got her nomination through a combination of anti-democratic party tactics (they shut RFK out of the primary) and racist DEI propaganda. She lied to the voters and is completely lacking in ability or merit.
They swapped a vegetable for a plant.
