What about what about white females?

jesus tapdancing christ, he actually said that. In public. To a reporter.

We need to vote these ~~people~~ fucking racists into oblivion. They genuinely think her skin color is the most important thing about her. Get lost, my country doesn't need asswipes like you.

Shit like this makes me not even care what Kamala does as president. She could sit in the Oval Office and spin around in her chair for four years and still be leagues better than Trump. I'll vote for her just to upset the racists.

The problem is their voters think race is the most important factor. They just need a way to imply it and act like they aren't racist.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

They're not even acting like they aren't racist why more. "What about white females" is literally a racist foghorn with a hint of incel

This is the 2024 republican party. We are days away from Trump using the N word in public.

The problem is Americans (left, right, center) aren't demanding this racist piece of shit to resign. This country has tolerated entirely too much racism, sexism, and phoney Christianity over the past 250 years. It's time we demand these people stop representing America and crawl back into their caves.

[–] FlyingSquid 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

To be fair, he said it last night. Maybe Americans won't demand he resign, but give them a little time.

[–] Coach 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

We've been waiting for 250 years. The calls won't come. And if they do, please come back and tell me I'm wrong. I would love to be wrong.

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm just saying, give them time to not do it before you condemn them for not doing it.

[–] Coach 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

By all means, please define the appropriate amount of time before I am allowed to be outraged.

Edit: To add on, we already knew this would be the response to an announced Harris campaign and, guess what, it was. As a country, we need to strike back much more expeditiously and severely if we truly want this behavior to stop.

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I would suggest that the appropriate time would be not during the night when everyone is asleep about a story that also came out at night.

I'm not sure why you think pointing fingers at people before they even know about something is productive.

[–] Coach -2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ohh...I get it. Makes perfect sense. Thank you for your wonderful explanation of how we continue to bend over and take it from racists, sexists, and xenophobes.

I look forward to continuing to prove you wrong every fucking day these people who represent America are allowed to spew hate and vitriol as we sit back and...wait, what was your plan again...oh, yeah...wait.

Utterly disgusting.

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Dude, I'm suggesting you wait a a few hours for people to wake up and see the news from the time you initially posted.

Even now, it's only 8 am on the West Coast.

jesus tapdancing christ, he actually said that. In public. To a reporter.

He's from Tennessee. This will probably get him re-elected.

(To be fair, he could say that 1001 elephants were standing on his toe and get re-elected.)

[–] Eatspancakes84 5 points 4 months ago

I fully recall their fair and rational response last time a white woman ran for Presidents /s

[–] ramenshaman 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They're still people. Fucking racist people. People can be terrible.

People? Wait, I thought we were talking about conservatives.
