For weeks (and arguably years) Trump and Trump supporters portrayed Harris as a barely verbal idiot. Then she thrashed him so badly he refused to debate her again. This says something about why diversity efforts matter and why the right opposes them www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Now, it would be simpler for conservatives who claimed Harris was an imbecile to admit that maybe the current vice president and former senator, attorney general, and district attorney is just smarter than they were giving her credit for. But that would require abandoning the assumptions about Black people and women that drove them to make their initial assessment. They cannot do that, because doing so would illustrate why diversity efforts are necessary in the first place: that plainly competent people are often wrongly assumed to be stupid because they are not white men, and denied opportunities as a result.

White men are idiots and DEI ensures that white male privilege is removed as a qualification. That’s why they hate DEI. @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Naw, it was mostly sass, mugging, lying, and talking points with friendly air support from the moderators. And everyone can see that. It's fun to watch.

Racists always find some standard they can claim superiority about. 'She could not run a business' or whatever. They can't handle the reality.

I cannot support Adam more strongly. In my life I have gone to school (multiple degrees) and have worked with people from a variety of ethnic and religious backgrounds, finding that many I liked and respected the most had little in common with with mine.

Their evil plans for total minority control by concentrated capital now exceed even exploiting just racist bias, as they promote a return to subjugation of women in general and really anyone not wealthy enough to already be in their oligarchy. #Billionaires4Billionairesbsky.app/profile/adam...
