    when i was in high school i had severe anxiety from repressed, untreated ADHD (which sometimes made it hard for me to control my tone of voice) that would make me overthink the fuck out of scenarios like this. my mind would race with how i should enunciate “thanks” the right way and wondering if my voice will seem shaky or nervous, and by the time i was ready it’d be too late lmao


  • another parallel between blue maga/red maga. trump couldn’t wrap his mind around kamala being south-asian AND black because multiracial identity contradicts his racist worldview where everyone unambiguously belongs in a box. meanwhile liberals consistently and exclusively put her in a box themselves, despite her long identifying with both

    nothing surprising unfortunately, most americans are brought up to be biological racists and still believe in some extent of one drop rule






  • how do you think Joe Biden became president? he won the 2020 nomination solely because of his association with Obama, and he was really only appointed VP because he was a segregationist old white man who could appeal to casually racist white moderates. Biden’s polls peaked only around 3-4% in the 2008 primaries, Kamala at least peaked up to 16% in her run

    strategically obama would’ve never picked a woman or another poc for the ticket. so you can reasonably say biden only got where he is for his race and gender

    also, harris was probably also pretty calculated, not just a pity pick. having a woc perceived as being progressive while not actually believing in anything was perfect for pulling naive progressive libs. a white male + white male ticket wouldn’t have done him any favors and she was assertive while more human-seeming than the other candidates
