  1. He didnā€™t know what DEI stood for, lol

  2. He straight up not only admitted, but used it as an argument in his favor, that he didnā€™t know that the running mate of his opponent in the last presidential election was Black. He also just recently found out that the Vice President of the country for the last 3.5 years is Black. HEā€™S RUNNING FOR FUCKING PRESIDENT!! šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£

There is no possible analogy that I can make up to show how ridiculous this is because itā€™s already at max ridiculousness. Any analogy would make it less ridiculous. Thereā€™s absolutely no other election or application process in the world or history of humanity that would be more ridiculous because itā€™s an ex-President running against the current Vice President for President.

omg, you canā€™t make this shit up.

Whether or not he knew she was black doesnā€™t even matter. He was trying to say she never identified as black until recently, trying to make it seem like she was pandering to black voters or even lying about being black. Itā€™s way more insidious than ā€œnot knowing.ā€

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the siteā€™s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. Itā€™s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). Itā€™s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to ā€œMom! Heā€™s bugging me!ā€ and ā€œIā€™m not touching you!ā€ Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Thatā€™s all the rules!
