All these white men keep saying the party focused on identity. they think Kamala Harris was chosen because she was a Black woman. not because of her credentials or because of her policies. They didn’t hear her speak. They saw ”BLACK WOMAN” and shut their ears and shook their heads.

The reason they think Kamala Harris ran a woke campaign based on identity is because she’s a Black woman.

It’s not deeper than that. They don’t care what she said or about her politics. They think running Kamala was about putting a Black woman in power and they think such a move is political poison

Whenever I’ve asked someone to be specific and tell me which policies of hers were “too progressive” it would inevitably turn into an uncomfortable dance of them not wanting to put into words their belief that by simply being a Black woman she was already “too progressive” before saying anything

I described this in the abstract yesterday, so thanks to Politico for providing a clear example today I guess.
