Here is Kamala "code-switching" to climb another rung up the political ladder:

Kamala Harris has range. She can grill nominees for the Supreme Court or meet with foreign dignitaries, then pivot to hosting a Diwali celebration or dancing enthusiastically alongside an HBCU-styled marching band.
It is a dexterity that Harris, the first Black woman and Asian American to serve as vice president, developed as a person of color to navigate the corridors of power or Main Street in a nation where race and identity influence how one is received or embraced.
Harris, the daughter of immigrants from Jamaica and India, is an adroit code-switcher, a term that can include deliberately adjusting one’s speech style and expression to optimize relatability and ensure she gets a message across.
Former President Donald Trump, during a contentious interview session at a meeting of the National Association of Black Journalists, showed no familiarity with the concept. He implied that Harris is inauthentic for embracing all aspects of her heritage. His failure to recognize code-switching also speaks to a prevailing belief that whiteness, often correlated with speaking in plainly enunciated English, is the default in our politics and democracy.
“We need to be celebrating our whole selves, which means we need to celebrate all of our identities,” said Christine Chen, co-founder and executive director of APIAVote, a nonpartisan civic engagement organization focused on the Asian American Pacific Islander community.
**SNIP**
Harris doesn’t need to code-switch to prove she is a Black and Indian American woman; she was born that way.
Shereen Marisol Meraji, former co-host of the award-winning NPR podcast “Code Switch,” said Harris’ identity is layered and can still be challenging to navigate in a nation that once encouraged multiracial people to favor one identity over another.
“If you walk through the world as I have, where I’m trying very much to embrace both sides of myself...

pivoting eh ???
The Dervish side of KarMarLar
In this case he misunderstands how Kameleons can change their identity to pretend to be all kinds of things they are not.
The democrats for over 8 years threw the kitchen sink at this man
They lied about Russia collusion
They ran an impeachment campaign
They trying to imprison the man
They trying to assassinate the man
They attacked his wife
And the guy is still standing!!!!
If there is anyone that I trust to fight for me it’s nobody else but this tough sob
He is a fighter
Code switching : pandering.
A Pander here and a pandering there, everywhere, everywhere we go a pandering.
Here come the excuses! Code switching you have to be in the culture for a while. Black peole in California do not speak in a Southern accent.
It does not matter what Trump does, how much he may be winning or what reality is, the continued release of negative articles against trump and absolute lies for Harris will get printed and pushed just the same.
This stuff is literally a mas coordinated attempt to demoralize and lay the ground work for the biggest fraud in history and many freepers are falling for it, stop the despairing and just FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
This three words from Trump, after the Deep State’s attempt assassinate him, were more than just a gut response they were prophetic, yet so many know are despairing..
Here is Kamala "code-switching" to climb another rung up the political ladder:
<<< Harris is an adroit code-switcher >>>
‘It’s time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day’
“She can grill nominees for the Supreme Court”
She can read the questions her staff wrote for her, it was so obvious.
what DJT does understand is flip-flopping: one day against fracking, another day for it - one day for Medicare-for-all, the next, for it, one day Asian-American, another day Black American, one day with a Yankee accent, the next with a Southern accent, AD NAUSEAM. SchizzieKaMahLa/mistress of multiple personalities.
Great point, post Harris senate run, and esp after 2020 did you ever hear camel toe by herself or others as “Indian “?
She is the poster child for slimy, finger in the wind politicians
KaMahla - shapeshifter
Good for her.
If Kamala learned to code, she can finally get a job she is for which she is qualified.
She is NOT a Natural Born Citizen and she is not qualified to be president.
It would appear word salads are a secret language only the left understands.
Candace Owens mentioned this code switching thing, too. I’d never heard it before, but apparently it’s a convenient thing for panderers to use.
Where one moment, politicians the next?
I came to a conclusion a long time ago about the left that if they could excuse or justify mass murder (the phrase a few eggs had to be broken comes to mind) they can do so for anything.
