Shhh, MAGAts, Time for the Adults in the Room to Talk
Just to start: I'm not a Democrat, and I'd rather drink bleach than call myself a Republican. I'm a progressive leftist—all American parties are too far right or center-right for my taste. But I caucus with the Democrats because I'm not an idiot.
Thank whatever god doesn't exist that Kamala Harris isn't doing every media interview that comes her way. Watching the debate and her first interview had me gagging—not because of what she said, but because of what she didn't get to say. She had to answer questions that only the idiot side of America can't seem to get past.
OMG, like, answer to changing your positions!! Politicians change positions all the time, Karen. For political reasons, for personal reasons, for scientific reasons, for factual reasons. A politician whose views never evolve is a massive red flag. Life is change, death is stagnation.
Why are groceries so expensive, huh, Kamala?!?!?! Okay, Karen, quick lesson: Inflation was caused by COVID. We had to inject a bunch of money into the economy that wasn't there before to make it through, and the result is inflation. And yeah, some of it is also price gouging because capitalism is a beast. I drive an extra five miles to go to WinCo because their prices are way lower than Albertsons down the street. If WinCo can do it, Albertsons can too—they just choose not to, because unregulated capitalism allows that. A lot of that deregulation (though not all) came from Republicans.
Why Black lady so loud and laugh so much?!! Stop being a motherfucking racist, grow up, and act like a whole-ass adult, Karen.
These are the kinds of questions I'm beyond tired of. I want her to talk policy in-depth. She used the words I wanted to hear on Israel-Palestine—”two-state solution”—but we never got to hear how that's supposed to happen. She talked about tax breaks and bonuses to help people out and pull the economy back on track, but again, not in the depth I wanted. And I don't believe it's because she's afraid to answer those questions, I believe it's because she's too busy answering the stupid questions and dancing on eggshells for children who don't even know how government works.
So when people whine about her avoiding typical media or only doing friendly interviews, I get mad. I want her to talk to friendly interviewers so we can skip the childish bullshit questions and actually get to the issues. I know I'm voting for her, but I want to hear more about what she's going to do because I'm a fucking adult, and I want to have grown-ass adult conversations.
