    Not to defend “them”, but I really do believe that very little of this has anything to do with the fact that she’s a woman. It’s a red versus blue thing, democracy versus fascism. At this point, it doesn’t really matter who runs for president, wrt gender or even race. Trump has attacked her race far more than mentioning anything about her gender. Nonetheless, Trump just sees the dems as “the enemy“, and has convinced all of his cultists to view things in the same terms.

    Any other Republican of this current generation would probably attack her on her gender as much as her race, but for some reason, Trump only attacks things he doesn’t understand such as biraciality (biracialness? Biracitude?).

      They’ve attacked the fact she’s a childless woman plenty. Like if it mattered for her policies. I doubt they’ll straight up attack her for just being a woman much because they still want the conservative woman vote but they’ll sure as shit attack her for woman things.

        They’ve attacked her because she doesn’t have any biological children, not because she’s a woman. Although they may be related, the attacks were very specifically against her, not having any biological children.

            They certainly make it as difficult as possible for game to adopt children.

            Stop trying to make this simple and black-and-white as they want you to think it is. They’re playing into their bullshit.

              What?

              Nobody has ever called out a male politician for not having kids. Attacking her for not having kids is literally exclusively about gender.

                You don’t know that. And if you’re claiming that’s a fact, then prove it.

                When you have to invent things just to make your point, you can’t have a very good point.

      Trump and his reich frequently attack her for being a step mother, accuse her of using sex for professional gain, and call her a cat lady. What the fuck are you talking about?

        If you have been suddenly struck with amnesia, I suggest you read my comment again. The answer to your incredibly insulting question is there. If it was so shocking and unacceptable to you that you suffered sudden amnesia as a result of reading my comment, that’s on you.

            Maybe if you complain some more, the world will be exactly the way you want.

      While I agree that at its heart it’s a red vs blue issue, I’ve seen more than enough explicitly sexist commentary from Trump supporters, most commonly suggesting that Kamala has attained her status via sexual favors rather than years of public service.

      To add to that, calling them sexist further entrenches them. A big part of that movement is a reaction to being called sexist, racist, etc… All you’re doing is playing into their own propaganda. That’s why the “weird” moniker was so much more effective.

          Funny, I thought the president was in charge of foreign policy. Good to know it was actually the VP’s job all along.

          The issue is spreading negativity right before an election, it’s best to wait until after for these comments.

      She’s not president. What is she single-handedly supposed to do? Hilarious that people blame her, not Biden.

      Like, we have a felon, racist, con-artist, homophobic, sexist, xenophobic, asshat who is running and has actively embodied wanting to be the next Hitler, disparages fallen soldiers, taken obvious bribes, lied to citizens faces, started an attempt to overthrow our government, put children in cages, taken money from corrupt countries, will actively attempt to bring back concentration camps, ban women from having bodily autonomy, ban schools from talking about slavery or risk losing funding, make it illegal to be gay/trans, and laugh in your damn face about it all.

      But no, the Black lady said some mean things and so therefore she’s not qualified and so I’ll just not do anything so the white guy wins.

    People pretending Kamala is competent is almost as funny as people pretending Trump is Christian.

    This is going to be Hilary all over again. Absolutely the same clueless “why won’t you vote for me?! I have such good referrals!!” energy.

      Also the implication that a subset of Americans are sexist because they won’t vote for a woman who has expressed unwavering support in continuing a genocide.

      More 👏 female 👏 genocide 👏 perpetrators 👏

    Less how sexist ð country as a whole is and more how sexist ð battleground states are.

    If it was even just FPTP popular vote, Hariss would be projected for a landslide right now.

      The deck is stacked. But when you talk about leveling the playing field - with DC statehood or repel of felony disenfranchisement or just prosecuting a cunt like Elon when he’s caught buying votes in an election - liberals just shrug and insist there’s nothing they can do.

      Pure controlled opposition. You begin to question whether they even want to win.

    She’s doing better than the old white man who’s been politically powerful for half a century…

    The thing is we could have ran AOC and shed have pissed off exactly as many conservatives, but gotten a whole lot more moderate support and taken votes from Stein

    The biggest problems with Kamala Harris are her policies
