America Failed Kamala [awesome piece]
Grarestone institute ^ | Nov 11, 2024

Posted on 11/12/2024 5:31:09 AM PST by Freeleesy

*Americans had the opportunity to elect Kamala Harris. And we had failed to live up to her.

*[A]s Michelle Obama told us, we were not good enough for her.

*Perhaps one day we will be. And Harris, along with Hillary Clinton, can wait in the wings, sipping chardonnay and listening to selections from Oprah Winfrey's book club until we show that we are ready for them to finally come and save us from ourselves. Decades may pass. Even centuries. But surely one day Americans will finally be ready for a completely inept president.

*Herds of angry liberals wander the aisles of organic supermarkets and wonder how millions of people could have ever put their selfish economic interests ahead of a presidential DEI hire.

*America's selfish founders put their desire for cheaper tea ahead of the glory of being ruled by a mad king who talked to trees, and their unworthy descendants want cheaper eggs and beef more than they want to listen to a woman of the right race who speaks in word salads.

*It cannot be that Harris failed. DEI hires can never fail, only be failed. Nothing is ever their fault, only that of the systemic racism of the electoral college, the legacy of oppression in Berkeley and the unfair double standard of being expected to state coherent policy positions.

*Or to put it more succinctly, Harris and [Nikole Hannah Jones of the revisionist "1619 Project"] are awesome and America sucks.

*It would have been kinder for Democrats, Republicans and squishes of no particular political denomination not to reward Harris or ten thousand other DEI hires who fill academia, politics and corporations with positions they are unqualified for to avoid appearing bigoted. Bigotry is not only refusing to hire people because of their race, but also hiring people because of their race.

*Biden made no secret of choosing Harris because he had promised to pick a black woman. Americans refused to hire Harris to run the country just because she was a black woman.

*Whites, blacks and Latinos of all ages and sexes did the right non-bigoted thing by Harris. But nothing in Harris's life had led her to expect to be judged on merit rather than on her identity.

Surely this piece will be recommended for some high literary honor. Ok, at least here on free republic and with sane individuals around the globe. Loved it!

Democrats obsessed with “identity” votes triggered Harris’ pronounced anti-male attitude:
<><>and her perverse “diversity, equity and inclusion”
<><>inclusion not diverse enough to include men, especially White males.
<><>simply put, all-out discrimination against men.

Democrats’ bellowed about “Believe Women,” “#MeToo,” “toxic masculinity,”
“the patriarchy,” “male privilege/power” and crowed about “the future is female.”

Dems would create “safe spaces” and “trigger warnings” for women......
but not for men.......implying men were predators of “defenseless” women.

A great commentary from Greenfield.

Ask the Moderators to change the source to:

GATESTONE INSTITUTE.

Gravestone is a more appropriate fit for Camela Harris.

Self-serving Harris types, themselves, cannot ever fail.....they can only be failed.

In what must be now considered a failed admonition of huge proportions,
Whatsherface Obama told us, “WE were not good enough for Harris.”

To her eternal discredit, Harris redefined bigotry as not only refusing to hire people because of their race, but also hiring people BECAUSE of their race.

There’s thousand of DEI hires who populate academia, politics and corporations in positions they are unqualified for ....solely to avoid the “appearance” of being bigoted.

That is exactly correct.

Except for Willie. He told her she was very, very good at what she did.

After a career of failing upward through multiple prosecutorial positions...

A career of failing upward—started by going downward with Willie.

It’s apparent how little the author loves America. No patriotism there.

America is not racist. The Democratic party is racist: Indian removal, slavery, segregation, internment, etc. Affirmative action is also racist. Even if Harris were Black, that would be no reason to vote for her. Vote for the best person to lead the country, regardless of race, sex, religion, etc.

Painful truth for Harris and the democrats, but I doubt they will accept it.

“But nothing in Harris’s life had led her to expect to be judged on merit rather than on her identity”. I love this summation.
