Now for extra fun: consider how different the attacks would be if Kamala Harris were a male candidate, with all other factors as close as possible (age, race, background, etc.)

You wouldn't be hearing about how he "slept his way" to the top. You wouldn't be hearing about how his "handlers" had to feed him information because he isn't capable of debating on his own without prompting. You'd still be hearing a bunch of bullshit, to be sure, but it would be different bullshit.

The next time someone on the right tries to deflect or muddy the water with "bUt caN You eVeN giVe a sPecIfic eXampLe AboUt hOw tHe RePubLican party / MAGA / Trump Is seXiSt?", all you must do is point to the kinds of lies they naturally fell into about Kamala Harris.

What those higher up in the party think of women, and what the rest have chosen to align themselves to, is on full display.
