…and then Kamala got advice from Nancy Pelosi and centrists to “tone down the ‘weird’ rhetoric” and focus on courting moderate Republicans, and her campaign fucking tanked. Couple that with the DNC not allowing a single Palestinian supporter to speak during the convention, and it was ruined for all of us. She had all the momentum of a bulldozer, initially, and swindled it by putting faith in crotchety, old, dinosaurs who refuse to entertain progressive ideas as they usher in a new tRump era of misery that may never end.
But, hey, at least you didn’t have somebody “young” and “inexperienced” like AOC in there. Who knows? She might’ve said something rude to Ms. Mace, and we couldn’t have that! Think of the decorum!

This is also how you get Gerry Connolly elected over AOC for leadership of the House Oversight Committee. Nancy Mace uses an anti-trans slur several times in a committee meeting, and Connolly whines “Here on the committee, a level of decorum requires us to try to avoid slurs” while his Republican colleague smirks at him. Fucking embarrassing.
