Oh cool, so they’re mixing their 2008 (racism) and 2016 (sexism) campaign strategies together.

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

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.

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.

Are you actually suggesting that calling her the N-word is simply disagreeing with the establishment line?

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 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.

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.

Why is it that Americans insist on giving maga people and the rest different standards.

As a foreigner, it’s so obvious and aggravating. The people that speak on the left just suck it up and play nice. It’s the worst.

Agreed, it’s a disinformation campaign, it’s propaganda. These aren’t silly antics.

Biden SLAMS Trump over Ukraine! Macron claps back! I was actually just thinking about the phrases that must have been used in journalism for the turn of the century that were considered to be equal to this low quality journalism

I think you mean far-right trolls punch themselves in the dick by sabotaging their outreach efforts to black voters. Don’t let me get in their way.
