Rightwing playbooks used in past election campaigns are being dusted off for an all-out assault on the vice-president
For Barack Obama there was “birtherism” and a name they said sounded like a specific Middle East terrorist. For Hillary Clinton there was “Lock her up” and merchandise that said, “Trump that bitch”, “Hillary sucks but not like Monica” and “Life’s a bitch: don’t vote for one.”
Rightwing playbooks deployed in past election campaigns are being dusted off for an all-out assault against Vice-President Kamala Harris, the de facto Democratic nominee aiming to become the first Black woman and first person of south Asian descent to be US president.
“It’s obvious that the Republicans are going to play the race and gender card, which we’ve seen already in some of the attacks on social media,” said Tara Setmayer, a Black woman who is co-founder and chief executive of the Seneca Project, a women-led super political action committee. “It may be catnip for their Maga base but it will be a turnoff for the moderate voters in the battleground states that will determine this election.”
The fact that you felt the need to link to Project 2025 implies that the Democrats are defined by being opposed to it.
That’s quite a leap. You inferred something, I didn’t imply it. I simply posted a link to the Democrats platform which laysout their vision and policy and a link to the Republican platform which lays out their vision and policy. Any inference is entirely in your head.
We’re very lucky that the Republicans published a detailed 900 page roadmap for turning the US into a fascist theocratic dictatorship. It’s impossible to deny, now, since everyone can see it with their own two eyes.
The fact you’re talking about the Democrats implies you are defined by them.
And the fact I am talking to you means you define me.
And the fact that I mentioned that means we are both defined by our struggle to avoid the things that define us, or something.
One (or many) can be opposed to a platform or ideology while simultaneously advocating for a different platform or ideology.
