Men dont lose value by being sexual you simp.

It's relevant based on Goom's prior statements on slut shaming.

This is just silliness... Trump based his public persona on complete falsehoods. He's not a great businessman, he's not a strong manager, he doesn't hire the greatest people. We have all the evidence we need to conclude that Trump is a complete fraud who started with a ton of money from his father and managed to survive after bankrupting several businesses. But you think the girl who might've gotten her start because of a high profile person, then rose to State AG, then Senator, then VP, is more of an offense to the meritocracy than the orange man?

Maybe I should just put in my signature a statement on sexism and racism, because I can't think of any other rational explanation to this madness.

You are describing Jared Kushner lol.

A classic tell is the quick response from you, not the page long bullshit. I guess it'll take a few days to gather up all the cult talking points on Kamala, eh?

I think it's ludicrous to think she got where she is solely due to her snatch. It certainly helped really early on but at some point, you're just good at your job.

She's spent enough time in politics that we know enough about her policies and priorities to see what kind of (temporarily vice) president she'd be
What it really diminishes is her box-checking diversity quota, her born attributes that Democrats have made into a privilege contest
She can't really be held as an immigrant minority woman success story when her way to upwards was horizontal
That's the cake Icemage wants to have an eat too. Its so amazing that a woman of color could be born to immigrants to America and grow up to... have an affair with an infamously corrupt politician and be given a 6 figure patronage graft salary as her reward.



"Solely" and "That was her big break" aren't the same thing. If she didn't have the competency and drive, she could have been just another unremarkable recipient of graft living a private life on the taxpayer's dollar
It was Kamala's own defense during the debates that even if her job was obvious patronage, she was good at it, and did it. Like I say, an easy contrast against Hunter Biden being literally handed diamonds.
We can distinguish between how someone 'got there', and whether they were good at it once they got there.

I didnt intend to imply that she exclusively got to where she is based on her gender and race. I just wanted to point out that her gender and race were significant factors for her rise, something IceMage denied.

Imagine a world where Biden had chosen his VP without any regard for race and gender. Does anyone seriously think that his choice would have fallen on Kamala Harris in that scenario?







Tu quoque fallacy. Me blasting Harris for something that also applies to Trump might make me a hypocrite, or a partisan hack, but this hypocrisy/partisan bias doesnt render my criticism of Harris invalid.

Yes, and I stand by the reasons I gave you for why she'd be a horrible pick. But those criticism I have against Whitmer are not why the Biden campaign didnt pick her. They shied away form her for unrelated reasons.
