Someone awhile back posted that they thought that the MSM and Brandon administration are implementing a strategy of throwing Kamala under the bus in the hopes of tanking her so badly that she won’t even be seen as a viable option to voters come ‘24, and they can try to consolidate behind someone else, like Mayor Pete.
But there’s a problem with that strategy, and the problem is black women. Without them and their vote, the party would cease to exist. The dems have spent all this time pandering/virtue signaling about D I V E R S I T Y and have branded themselves as the pro-black/minority party that lo0kS LikE aMErikKkA while branding the GOP as literal whyte supremacist natzees.
Can you think of a worse betrayal to your most loyal bloc than pumping up expectations for the holy grail (the double-whammy of the first woman president with the bonus of her being non-white), only to snatch it away at the last second? To rob the black woman of the spotlight when it was hEr tURn? That would accomplish two things:
1.) It just might get the sheboons so demoralized, fed up, and finally cognizant of the DNC’s broken promises that they decide to stay home as a nice ‘fuck you’ to the party.
2.) It takes all the wind out of the DNC’s sails re: their race and D I V E R S I T Y rhetoric. They can dilate all they want about how they’re the party of blackie, but history will forever show that when push came to shove, they couldn’t back up their words with action, and tanked the first black wahman president. Any subsequent talk about standing by minorities or the mARgiNaLiZed will seem fundamentally empty.
God, I hate this timeline. But at the same time, I kinda like it.
