Hilarious those messianic depictions of the Queen of Zergs...

Ha, thank you! Depicting her as Zerg queen was bouncing around in my head for a really long time and I didn't know why, until someone pointed out that her Twitter bot network is called the KHive.

I couldn't agree more! They're using her Blackness to distract for her bad policies and actions and her support for the genocide. I wouldn't let that cretin watch my child, I'm certainly not going to vote for her.

100%, she is a really low-rent Obama. I was an Obama supporter at the time of his first candidacy, being young at the time, but it seems to me that he presented a much better package on the face of it, whereas Harris doesn't even seem to have the style to cover up her lack of substance. But I've been very glad to see the Black community's reaction to Harris: way more critical and questioning, and not at all interested in being baited with appeals to her identity.

Agreed. Obama turned out to be a huge disappointment. Just another corporate stooge. He never codified Roe even though he claimed he would. He killed thousands of civilians with drone strikes. Bailing out and hiring some of the corrupt Wall Street bankers instead of locking them up. Instead of universal healthcare we got the ACA🙄 Harris backed off of Medicare for all and she still supports the genocide. That is very good to see. The DNC has gotten very good at bait and switch.

Indeed, immensely disappointing. I suppose I can be grateful for that at least, I wasn't tricked into playing the two-party game for very long. But my concern now is that "White America" won't catch up fast enough: Obama didn't have much a record of criticize when he was elected, but despite Harris' horrible record, it's too easy to imagine most Democrats will support her based on the symbolism of her skin color while never learning about the damage she has already done.

I think I really caught on after Clinton repealed the Glass-Segall Act, leading to the housing market crash. Then NAFTA, which decimated blue collar America. And his disasterous Telecommunications Act. Exactly🙁

Gosh, wish I'd picked up on the duopoly game earlier in my life. 😂 I guess I was too busy enjoying "Pax Americana" after the end of the Cold War. What a good time for a childhood! Especially with 9/11 as the showstopper: big credit to the scriptwriters on that one.

Considering that Clinton was the first Democrat president since Carter, the Dems were able to hide their duplicity behind Reagan, and both Shrubs. Like Biden pushing to invade Iraq and signing on the Republican bill that disallowed student loan debt to be discharged via bankruptcy. Indeed! 🤣
