Isn't that how Kamala Harris made it to the VP slot?

(And pretty much every "diversity" hire in every Dem owned company for that matter)

CNN and MSNBC both claim there's no CRT being taught in public schools. That it doesn't exist and therefore racist to suggest as much.

This likely turns off many parents esp. those who monitor closely what their children are learning. No doubt they find it insulting to be called a racist for questioning the course material.

All of which presents a big problem for the Dem leadership. The more they (Dem leadership) insist there's no such thing as CTR the more they risk pissing off voters they need.

But if they dump CRT the Dem leaders run the risk of angering those on the left who hold enough power within the party to make life measurable.

So, now there's talk of dumping Biden in 2024.

If this were to happen K. Harris could make things very unpleasant for the Dems if she's not giving top slot on the ticket.

I'm sure the Dem leadership is dreading that power play.

"You're racist!!!" Or, you're a xenophobe, homophobe, transophobe, islamophobe, sexist...did I miss any? Have they come up with any new ones?

I doubt it. Have you heard her speak? She’s very impressive.

Well, that's usually what is said about Republicans who are people of color. What's kind of funny is that those making such an accusation either don't realize (or don't care) that the assertion is itself, racist. It's claim is that Black, Asian and Hispanic Republicans and those who vote for them aren't motivated by conviction, but rather skin color alone.

Maybe it's better to say that those who make such accusations are actually projecting; since they themselves see nearly everything through the lens of race, they assume everyone else does too.

When a political party (Democrats) makes excuses about teenaged girls getting raped in schools, everybody starts to realize something has gone terribly wrong with that party.

The old one still works. The Irredeemable Basket of Deplorables.

I’ve still got my “I’m a Proud Deplorable” shirt. Leftists have learned nothing.
Their big plan now is to Double Down and attempt a Force Feed of unpopular Agenda.
