He is not a magical negro savior tasked with rescuing an inept, backwards looking electorate from their worst proclivities.

The White majority of this nation is singularly responsible for the systems of white hegemony and the proliferation of proto-fascist authoritarianism. Save yourselves.

"Playing basketball with celebrities" is an untenable, racially coded statement.

Obama served this country with esteem and he repeatedly warned of this march towards authoritarianism.

We’re in this together! This includes everyone who replied in disagreement with my opinion on this thread. We might disagree on strategy and messaging, but we’re in for the fight of our lives. We have the franchise & must make it count. Thank you for your righteous fight!

Agree. This is really about organizing and educating to change hearts & minds. Start grassroots. All politics is local. I’m 58 years old and have fought voter suppression in my community for decades. Middle class folks need to talk to their neighbors who voted against their own interests.

This! They want a messiah, a figurehead, a fiery orator to match Trump’s rhetorical attacks. Folks want a messenger to assuage their fears, but a high visibility platform doesn’t translate into power. Harris is not an elected official—Jeffries and Schumer are. Demand action from officeholders.

She cares and she returned to the community that nurtured her. You just expect her to have superhuman resolve. She is a finite human being. Where’s Hillary & Bill Clinton? Where’s Obama and George W. Bush? What specifically should she do? She spoke out, she lost and she’s retrenching.

Then show some leadership in your own community. Educate your folks to not vote against their own interests. Moreover, Harris has recently been very visible and active in the community (aka “the hood).

First-learn to opine without using profanity.

Second-If you think this theory has credulity, work at the grassroots level to ensure voter integrity. I’m a 58 year old Black woman and I have organized against racially based voter suppression against my community for 40 years. Do the work.

Direct your outrage to your skinfolk who voted for racism, authoritarianism and anti-intellectualism. Teach them to not vote against their own interests. Your fellow citizens played you…not Harris. Sit down.

I understand that we’re bereft of robust leadership, but you need to give Harris some grace. She’s a finite human being. She did her job, now we must do ours. No one is coming to save us….we must save ourselves.

Kamala Harris was vociferous in sounding the alarm about encroaching fascist control of the U.S.—and y’all didn’t listen to her.

She’s now a private citizen, recovering from the trauma of being targeted with abject hatred and trying her best damn life like the other 92% of Black women.

They say don’t answer, you don’t work for them… Answer within your chain of command. But if you must
