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.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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

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 (6 children)

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

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.)

I read that in the ferengi voice on ds9. “Feeeemaaleeesssss”

You’d think we were in the Stone Age.

[–] Ensign_Crab 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Similar, only with early TNG Ferengi.

What about them? One ran in 2016, remember?

[–] a9cx34udP4ZZ0 63 points 4 months ago

What happened to white women? Well, she ran for office and you claimed she was unfit for office because women are emotionally unstable and something about emails that magically disappeared as soon as Ivanka got caught ACTUALLY deleting emails.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Abysmal record of, checks notes, being vp? Gtfo of here you clowns. Do better

[–] worldwidewave 65 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Points at brown woman

“Why isn’t she white?”

Somehow this is where our political discourse is

[–] TheDoozer 36 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

And a Senator. And a District Attorney. Elected as both of those, not "hired."

She hasn't been "hired" for anything. Of all the issues to take with her, calling her a "DEI Hire" has got to be the most ridiculous.

What a truly idiotic position to take.

[–] FlyingSquid 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Someone here on Lemmy yesterday said her record as a senator would hurt her because she didn't come up with any major legislation.

As if voters give two shits about who comes up with what in congress and not just the result for them.

Wow. The panic is palpable

[–] Diplomjodler3 53 points 4 months ago

Did they just endorse Hilary?

[–] nifty 51 points 4 months ago

Wooooow, him calling her unqualified is so cringe

Just compare their education and work

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Burchett

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris

He’s straight up only qualified to run fucking Tennessee, what an embarrassment for him to call anyone else unqualified

[–] TunaCowboy 50 points 4 months ago

what about white females

Aren't they supposed to be at home cleaning, cooking, raising kids, and missing out on health care?

Get fukt you backwards ass prick.

[–] FlyingSquid 43 points 4 months ago (18 children)

Good. The more racist they get, the more likely they will lose. There are a lot of racist Americans, make no mistake, but even a lot of them get a bad taste in their mouth when the racism gets overt from politicians. They want laws that benefit them as white people, they don't want to hear about how Biden is a friend to the N-s.

So Republicans fully support a white republican female as president?

Where is this candidate?

Oh right they're still on the "old white guy" train and it's not about skin color or gender beyond their racism and sexism.

I already need a second hand to count the number of times I've heard people saying "she used to be a prostitute" in public or at work, while also not remembering WHO said that, where they heard it from, or any sort of evidence to back it up beyond "I just pulled this out of my ass because she's a woman and that's what I associate women with"

Yeah, but Trump doesn't have the lobes for it, either.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 4 months ago

Sorry House Cons, did you say Hillary Clinton? It’s really hard to understand you with all that feces in your mouths.

[–] tills13 32 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Btw when the GOP says "DEI hire" they mean ""

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 months ago (2 children)

All black people with jobs that aren't fast food worker or janitor are "DEI hires" because conservatives are racist and don't believe that black people can actually be qualified for any higher level job.

You'll never see a conservative praise a business or department for clever hiring if the person/people they just hired happen to be black. It's either white person or DEI hire to their minds.

I think no one would object if Republicans changed their mind to nominate a "white female" as their candidate. Just a reminder though, no Trump in drag, according to Republican policies that is no woman, right?

[–] dhork 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Maybe Rudy Giuliani in drag. Would that work?

(Btw, that actually happened. Google "Giuliani Drag Trump Motorboat" if you dare.)

DEI

FYI: Diversity, equity and inclusion, not Department of Election Interference (which is currently staffed by Republicans anyway)

[–] samus12345 12 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Like CRT, it's one of their buzzwords for "bad thing" that I wouldn't know otherwise.

Imagine the terror of a supporter of a rapist felon candidate, who you pretend is chosen by a fake Republican Jesus, being challenged by a candidate who has the audacity to be a woman and black.

And she’s going to win.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago

If the GQP cared about white women they wouldn't have let their courts decimate Roe. Next ridiculous argument please.

[–] TexasDrunk 21 points 4 months ago

I made this joke 12 hours ago:

I want to create an account on whatever social media they're on and agree with them loudly and adding "What are they planning on doing for the white man?" or something similar to every statement.

The Democrats aren't about regular people anymore! What are they planning on doing for the white man?!?

Except I'm pretty sure a whole shit pile of them would agree with me and nominate me for something or other. Then I'd just be sad.

I guess it was less a joke and more prophetic.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

Hopefully they will be voting for Harris to protect their lives and the lives of their daughters. The only future for women with the Republicans is servitude.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

Will you shut up, mr nepotism, your dad brought your ivy league credentials.

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Just one real basic search and....

FBI has been ‘corrupted’ by Hillary Clinton and the Trump-Russia probe

  • Rep. Tim Burchett (but it's fox so maybe don't give em a click, just not gonna keep looking)
[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

Would the GOP like to have a white woman as a candidate as an alternative? No? Then STFU.

(I know, they'd probably give us Majorly Tugid Greens or something, but still.)

[–] rayyy 14 points 4 months ago

What about white females? The right would still call them derogatory names if they didn't completely and wholeheartedly submit to them.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

He doesn't specify a species. Is he talking about female polar bears? Corn snakes? Albino rats?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

They could always Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies that complete a coherent sentence drop out because he's too old, and replace him with a white female. Personally, I'd like to see that Jewish space lasers nutjob get her ass handed to her by our current VP.

[–] kescusay 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hey, anyone remember those old peanut butter cup ads? The ones where some peanut butter and chocolate get mixed together accidentally and people realize they taste good together?

This is just like those ads! Except with misogyny and racism, of course.
