    Crazy, because aside from her skin color, she’s definitely on board for all the fucked up things the right-wing is aiming to do. Racists, once again, are just dumb as hell.

      I saw someone comment that they need to get those people under control because Indians were compatible with the American lifestyle. I wasn’t sure exactly what they meant but it did leave me wondering if the thought was “They know their place”.

        Looks like you figured it out to me.

        Maybe they’re saying all the Modi supporters are compatible with right-wing grift culture? I imagine they approve of Modi being all buddy-buddy with Putin, that’s for sure.

          yeah, i think it’s honestly lately because Trump likes modi.

          if this weren’t far right dumbasses i might think they were referring to the hyper patriarchal society and 50 years behind gender views that are common in that country, but i don’t think they actually know anything about India. if they did, they’d probably be all about the arranged marriages and legal martial rape.

        I think it might mean the caste system where certain people are kept at a certain level. The haves always have, and the have nots serve them.

        If that’s what they meant, then the irony is delicious.

      If racists weren’t dumb as hell, they wouldn’t be racist.

      Nothing’s dumber than hating people for something they didn’t choose and were born with (gender identity, sexuality, skin color…etc.)

        Counting on other people’s hate for your own gain, isn’t that stupid unfortunately.

        Or at least it can be quite profitable. See all the grifters in the space.

          You just mixed up what they were referring to, the voting American public that has definitely shown many many signs of severe lack of education… And you are talking about the scam artists abusing that thickness.

          Two different groups for people. But ye are totally in agreement.

    Okay, so this is a joke post. It is not sincere. It is sarcasm.

    This is sarcasm.

    Okay, get this shit. Imagine convincing the alt-right to vote for Biden with the following (horrible and presented here only for amusement) argument:

    "You can’t vote for Trump/Vance because Vance married an immigrant and is attempting to replace the proud tradition of a white first family (I know, I know, but it’s a joke, please chill).

    “You have to vote for Biden/Harris because Harris at least married a white man (again, this is a silly and racist thing to argue).”

    I feel like that may work since people who are alt-right racist garbage typically cannot think their way out of a white paper bag.

      All joking aside, you’d convince a non zero number of those morons with that argument. Actually if you spewed that shit from a pulpit you’d become a leader in the maga sphere and probably pull in some $ of those idiots.

    Back up, isn’t the Furher married to an immigrant who used chain migration to nationalize her parents? She/they get a pass… and are white. So this really is racism in action. Good luck, folks. And to you racists, die.

      Yes and no, IMO. Kamala Harris probably can’t win, in part because the US electorate are fairly racist and sexist. There is a part of the DNCs calculus that is about winning the general election.

            Biden is not the safest choice, and Harris is not a good backup because she is a non-white woman, which means a meaningful proportion of our (frustratingly racist, sexist, and regressive) electorate will simply refuse to vote for her. Pragmatism is the order of the day. I don’t like Newsom for his neoliberal and pro-corporate tendencies, but he’s the best chance to stop fascists from winning this election at this point.

            Pragmatism and realpolitik must be the order of the day here. The only questions that the Democratic candidate should be answering at this point is “can you win against the fascists, and will you actually do anything to stop them”. In my eyes, Biden has categorically failed to do the second part; Harris, unfortunately, might not be able to pull out a win due to the prejudice of our electorate; meanwhile, Newsom is a white, heterosexual, wealthy, corporate friendly, vaguely-religious male, who, despite many flaws, does seem to recognize the clear and present danger that fascism poses.

      It’s 100% expected behavior from the right. Things are wrong and immoral until they happen to you personally. They don’t like minorities, but Vance doesn’t have a problem with his wife being a minority. Just like abortion is wrong until your child gets pregnant…

    I’m sorry, I feel bad for it all, and her having to deal with that, I really do, but at the same time it’s funny as shit. What did she think was going to happen when she associated herself with these people?

      I have ZERO sympathy. She CHOSE this and is continuing to stay. She’s probably a Trump heart attack away from being the First Lady and doesn’t exactly have to wonder where her next meal is coming from.

    I wonder how long non-white, non-christian, non-striaght people will realize that they are in the hate group lead by trump, a person that has Hitler like attributes.
