    Half of America lost it’s mind when Obama was elected, and we’re still dealing with the fallout from that lovely dose of racism. There’s no way Kamala could win in this country.

      Obama won. And then won again. Stop pumping up the reactionaries as some unstoppable force. They’re a minority and have been on a long term losing streak.

      like all that aside, a lot of folks aren’t appreciative of her background as a cop… but yeah that’s a cherry to what you already mentioned

        And a lot of swing voters will probably like that she was a prosecutor, a “law and order” type.

            She aint “black” as much as “brown.” Its an incredibly stupid hair to split, but indians are generally considered a “model minority” by racists, so it will likely hurt her but not as much as you may think.

              Isn’t she half-black and half-Indian? Or am I mistaken on that?

              Regardless, the flame out of Bobby Jindal shows what those folks think of Indians anyway.

                No, you’re right. I honestly forgot she was half black.

                I guess I hope the “moderate” racists do as well.
