So, Kamala Harris says she thinks the best person for her VP job in 2024 was a gay man but, because she wanted to win, discriminating against him was the better option. Sounds like a law suit to me. We all know that if a business owner had thought the best person for the job was a gay man but they hired someone else because they didn't want to hire the gay man, the left would be all over it.

Harris says Buttigieg was her 'first choice' for 2024 running mate but the pairing was too risky​


Former Vice President Kamala Harris says she would have picked Pete Buttigieg as her running mate last year but America wasn't ready for the pairing, according to an excerpt of her new book.

Harris writes in an excerpt of “107 Days” published Wednesday in The Atlantic that former President Joe Biden’s transportation secretary was her “first choice," adding that he “would have been an ideal partner — if I were a straight white man."

“But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man. Part of me wanted to say, Screw it, let’s just do it. But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk," she writes.

Not a very nice way to treat Tim Walz.

Real leaders stand by their people, and they certainly don't throw them under the bus in order to make a for-profit memoir more spicy.

So sorry you are offended by this politician evaluating an election in actual political terms.

I suppose you also believe that J.D. Vance was the most qualified candidate for the MAGA party...no political considerations taken into account? Of course we know for MAGA it had to be White and it had to be Male and it had to be Straight. So that made it easier.
 

I mean she's just objectively correct. Though she, as a black woman, never had a chance of winning in the first place.

We can only hope that Democrats will find some witty and familiar white guy to run in 2028, lest we all be cursed with the pestilence that is JD Vance.
 
Kamala Harris was wrong. Period. No defense.

Hope she doesn't run for President in 2028.

Now, can we have a half dozen more Kamala Harris threads? After all, we seem to have run out of Joe Biden threads. Even Hunter Biden can't buy a thread anymore. So we must cue the outrage against SOMEBODY.
 
IMO, if winning in 2028 is the objective, then Democrats should worry less about the demographics of their candidates and more about the policies advocated by their candidates.

stand by in this case, not the waiting description standby
 
Well…no shit?

This is supposed to be some sort of major, ground breaking, earth shattering revelation?

Being women most certainly played a role in Clinton's and Harris's losses.

Demographics certainly matter.

If they just ran young Biden, they'd win pretty handily. It seems unlikely they'll have the awareness and self control to do so, damning us all as a consequence.
 
Are you able to address the fact that Kamala Harris discriminated against a gay man when your side is supposed to be against discriminating against gay men?
 
Funny, most threads have left wing outrage. Trump, Kirk, Patel, etc.
 
She's objectively correct in discriminating against a gay man? I don't think the left would agree with that if a CEO didn't hire someone solely based on the fact that that person was gay.

Yes. It just came out in her book where she admits to discrimating against a gay man.

From a position of political pragmatism, yes she's correct to discriminate here. It doesn't matter how good the rhetoric is, America isn't going to elect a black woman with a homosexual VP lmfao.

LOL. Well, if it weren't for the electoral college, Hillary would have won. She won the popular vote. Therefore, Americans would vote a woman president. Why would women be any different than a black man winning the presidency? Lame excuse.

Explain how this rises to "discrimination"? She assessed the effect her choice would have at the polls. That is what politicians do. She also "discriminated" among other candidates that she felt would be less effective than Walz.. There were a couple dozen.....the Short List is...




Do you want to address the fact that you seem obsessed with what Harris?
