I keep hearing Republicans saying Democrats are only getting behind Harris because she's not white, Diversity Ethnicity Inclusion thing

Conveniently ignoring the fact she's already Vice President of the United States and second in line to the presidency for almost 4 years now.
And prepping people to marry the word woke to her for however long she's relevent.

Surely this would infer that Republicans are only getting behind Trump because he is white. I mean, out of the two candidates Trump is the one who came into office with no qualifications to be there.

@UBotMate I’m a Democrat and certainly not a Trump supporter, but having served four years as POTUS is actually the strongest qualification possible.

@RedBaron Sure, I can see that which is why I specifically addressed his first appointment to office in context of Kamala's potential first appointment to office.

@UBotMate Which is actually irrelevant in comparing them now.

UBotMate

@RedBaron It's not irrelevant in the context of the point that I made. If Kamala is deemed to be a DEI choice and the basis of that assertion is her lack of relevant experience or qualifications then even more scrutiny would surely have applied to Trump in 2016 who had no relevant experience at all.

So if Kamala is deemed a DEI choice on the basis of color and/or sex then Trump must have been chosen for being white, if we apply the same logic.

@UBotMate …and less than zero attributes to return there four years later!

Plus so many felony convictions to boot!

LOL!

RedBaron · M

@UBotMate But it is irrelevant to this election, in which Trump is the more experienced and arguably qualified candidate.

That’s not a reason I would vote for him (nothing would make me vote for him), but it is reality that he has actually been president while she has not.

UBotMate

@RedBaron And your point is not relevant to the point that I'm making. When saying that Kamala is a DEI hire they are not making that assertion because she is not as experienced as Trump. If that were the case then any candidate who hadn't yet been president and had a protected characteristic could be deemed a DEI hire. My point was perfectly clear and was drawing an equivalence between two potential candidates at the time that they were potential candidates.
