    He renamed the platform “X” which is not far off from a swastika.

    So, a black lying female politician is much worse than a white lying male politician? Even if the white male has set records for frequency of lying as president of the U.S. and the black female has not? Even if the white lying male politician was such a prolific liar that his only debate with the black female had to be conducted with fact checkers as moderators? What you seem to be saying is that you are more offended by the fact that she is black and female than the "fact" (which is more speculation than fact at this point) that she is a liar. Seems to say a lot about you.

    Exactly! On a scale of zero to Donald Trump, how corrupt was she?

    You guys typically are putting words in my mouth. The point I was making about the black lying female was plain and simple. Kamala lied over and over about being African American, I guess by her logic if you go through genetic testing and are 1/10 of 1% African and you live in the USA you are African American. Kamala wanted no more than to use those African genes to gain votes.

    So we know America has an ugly history of treating anyone with black ancestry poorly, including mixed-race persons.
    Why don't you brush up on early New Orleans sociology -- Google these terms: Quadroon, Octoroon, Mulatto for starters.
    Then consider America's long history of prejudice and discrimination against non-white persons formerly labelled as red, yellow, brown, etc.
    In summary, Ms. Harris does indeed have black ancestry, no matter what degree thereof, and she is entitled to say so.

    To try to disparage Harris's ethnicity makes YOU an untruthful person. Every human living on earth has black origins if you go back far enough. You DO know about human evolutionary history don't you?

    And as other posters have noted, you seem to have no problem supporting the white lying alpha male president. Thus we ask: Do you resent lying from any politician? Do you resent women in politics in general? Do you resent persons of color in politics?

    If $Trump is your ideal public figure, you probably won't like the future of American politics much. He and his like will indeed be gone someday.

    Remember, for the wokerati liberal…. it is not not how your DNA would define you, but rather you are what you identify as being. They chose their race, ethnicity, biological sex and they can be changed at will.

    It seems the only ones obsessed with color/race are you and Coco. Stop begging the question and just say it. Seems to say a lot about you too.

    You're wrong. I don't care if a liar is black or white. The worst liar I know of is orange. So what? I confess, though, that I'm obsessed with females. I don't even care if they laugh a lot, unless they're laughing at me.

    So what? Lots of politicians have highlighted their ethnic background during an election, if it helps them get votes. It is certainly not something new that Harris invented. If she wants to identify as black or Indian, she is entitled to. She certainly is not in the same league as Elizabeth Warren's claims of being a native American--Harris actually is black (and Indian). Do you think Harris should have hidden her ethnic background?

    People can identify themselves anyway they want. Which is a good thing. It's good, for example, to identify a certain segment of the population on this forum. And it's all self-identification.

    Hitler was fairly open about exterminating people of a different race (as well as people who were different from his Aryan ideal). Lenin, Mao, and Stalin primarily killed people that did not go along with their program, which makes them brutal dictators, but not quite "evil monsters" like Hitler. Add in the fact that Hitler was nearly successful with his quest for global domination (and the others were leaders of backwards countries), and Hitler was a much scarier person globally than the others were.

    I'm not sure how this relates to any discussion on Kamala Harris. It seems to relate more to Donald Trump, as a wannabe dictator.

    You know the answer cannot possibly be "lying", since their chosen one happens to be the most prolific liar in the history of American politics. You kinda wish he could be hooked up to electrodes before every speech, and given a shock every time he lies, forcing him to say "Yeah, that's the ticket" after every lie.

    You prefer well-constructed lies to word salad? And being offended by her word salads is quite ironic--Trump has had plenty of word salads come out of his mouth (and his tweets). I'm still waiting to hear what COVFEVE means.

    Of course Trump can also be very clear and direct, as when he says "Eat the tariffs!" And his followers say, "Yummy!"

    So that was her number one campaign platform--her ethnic background? How in the hell was she able to destroy Trump in their one debate if that was all she talked about?
