      When it’s for legitimate reasons.

      Funny how many racist comments come out in media every time people don’t like the colour of the candidate but never finished school so can’t actually engage with their work.

        That legitimate debate is impossible while the media is hyper-focused on everything but. That’s exactly why reporting on racism exploded after occupy came dangerously close to threatening the banker’s cartel.

            They’re disingenuously pretending that the media is conflating bigotry with legitimate criticism rather than the far right employing the former much more often than the latter.

          So the media shouldn’t report racist and sexist attacks? And can you point us to any sources of Republicans actually making any sort of good faith attempt at an honest debate about the issues? Because i haven’t seen any in a very long time.

          Neolibs don’t want to think any more than the MAGA cult. Yeah, it’s the fault of mass media. But, the last thing they want to hear while running in fear of Trump is that they’re a bigger obstacle to progress than Trump. They won’t even accept it from MLK Jr’s letter from Birmingham jail.

            It’s so funny seeing people actually still think maga is anything but a king making cult.

            I ain’t American, but fuck it it fun y watching certain Americans be so horrendously thick.

            Enjoy your king!

          So you are saying it has always been there just underreported? That’s even worse.

            It’s not, but you’re being focused on that instead of any of the many people who actually do have real issues they’d like to discuss.

      People have called her and Biden “Joe and the Hoe”, have implied she slept her way to the top, have called her a diversity hire, have invoked the heritage project to oust her. So yes, they’ve gotten racist and sexist very fast.

      When the headlines are about random maga types being quoted calling her “little whore” and n-words - it’s clear that yeah, the -isms are indeed out and about, the media is just reporting it.

      The reality cannot be denied, they aren’t deep faking the clips.

      The maga crowd dosnt counter her policies, her voting record, her career, her speech, her age, her cognitive function

      They go after what she was born with and what that crowd has been indoctrinated to hate.

      That’s where the ism’s come from.

      Funny how many -isms -ists come out
      in the media
      every time people don’t agree with the establishment line.

      Edit: I realized I wasn’t very clear.

        I will ask you what I asked the person you are agreeing with here: Is calling Kamala Harris the N-word just not agreeing with “the establishment line?” Because that’s what this is about.

          I was in disagreement. I removed media from the equation because I believe all the -ists are the real reason these -isms show up no matter the circumstance.
