Can this at least be a more clear title? “Misogyny and racism still the primary platform of republicans and the way they will attempt to sway voters against a perfectly valid candidate.” The passive tone is giving a pass to racists and misogynists.

You’re right about who most of the sexists and racists are, but the title is not technically in passive voice. A more accurate version, reflecting the ways she’s taking them on, for instance by rallying the powerful voices of Black Women, would be “Harris Faces Down Misogyny and Racism in Bid for the White House.”

I thought about adding “the GOP’s” in there, but it’s more than just the registered Republicans. There’s a lot of racist and sexist Libertarians and other “independents” out there as well.

My friend and I were concerned about closet racists/ misogynists particularly boomers staying home and / or voting 3rd party/ Trump. I hope that’s not the case, but boomers gonna boom ya know?

I don’t think those people make up a large portion of swing voters these days. People didn’t come out for Hillary because she had bare faced contempt for middle America, among other things.

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 site’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. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’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 “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” 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.

That’s all the rules!
