They've gone all in on DEI. Is woke out now? Maybe because they could never define it when asked
politics
Protests, dual power, and even electoralism.

woke wasn't explicitly racist enough
Of course they would focus on her ethnicity instead of her all-round awfulness
It's like asking a european to not fellate american boots. Mindless dogs can't help themselves
They can't focus on that because cops and ”tough punishments for criminals” are some of the things they love the most.
Imagining a major European center-left party nominating a Romani candidate for PM/President and the reactionaries shitting the bed so hard raging about it that they get the Romani equivalent of Keir Starmer elected
It's pretty hard to imagine a level of racism towards Roma that Europeans would consider too much, tbh.
But remember, the facts don't matter that much!
They could recast her as a progressive prosecutor and just generally incompetent. The have all the talking points lined up for the first part from campaigns against Larry Krasner, Chesa Boudin, etc. For the second part, they could just cherry pick a few cases someone in her office messed up (or just had an egregious result, regardless of what her office did) and spam coverage about those (like the old Willie Horton ads).
It'd rile up the chuds and make Harris have to figure out how to present her record to Democrats who have pretty varied opinions on how DAs should act.
Everything that makes her genuinely awful is something that appeals to their base and themselves. Every bad thing she did as AG is fucking awesome to them. This is all they have.
Some obscure 19th century racist word will be said on a hot mic before Halloween 2024
Yeah, some Senator whose parents were Civil War veterans is going to call her a "trolley howler" or something that everyone will have to look up, but will turn out to be worse than the n-word.
I can't believe you just dropped that with a hard "T." Mods! Mods!
It ends up being Biden
JD Vance forced to drop out and replaced by Vince McMahon after calling Kamala a "swarthy quadroon"
Your latheing skills are too powerful because you already made it happen!

Holy fuck he actually did use a Ruckus
Goddammit. Sometimes I regret having these awesome powers.
She was already called a “Jezebel” which i feel like counts
EDIT: wrong reply
Ironically Kamala is indeed “forced diversity.”. You will never convince me that Dixie Joe knew who she even was and willingly picked her before accidentally promising to choose a black woman as VP. For fuck’s sake she dropped out before it even began.
I think Joe would definitely remember the "that little girl was me" from the debate. His brain may have been melting but anything that hurt his massive ego would stick for sure.
Man I forgot the joe Biden that was in the election, that was an entirely different world.
how do you think Joe Biden became president? he won the 2020 nomination solely because of his association with Obama, and he was really only appointed VP because he was a segregationist old white man who could appeal to casually racist white moderates. Biden's polls peaked only around 3-4% in the 2008 primaries, Kamala at least peaked up to 16% in her run
strategically obama would've never picked a woman or another poc for the ticket. so you can reasonably say biden only got where he is for his race and gender
also, harris was probably also pretty calculated, not just a pity pick. having a woc perceived as being progressive while not actually believing in anything was perfect for pulling naive progressive libs. a white male + white male ticket wouldn't have done him any favors and she was assertive while more human-seeming than the other candidates
They can't help themselves
If anything loses them the election its going to be this. 100% the racist freaks in the GOP are not going to be able to stop themselves from doing endlessly misgynoir, to a point that normal people (who are still racist, but they dont usually like it to be so overt) are going to be offput.
Average racists when they hear Republicans talk about Kamala
GOP gonna alienate the silent majority of their base that fully agrees with all the tenants of racism except for being loud and annoying about it.
Failing the crucial “be normal” rule
The kind of crackkkers that get kicked out of a klan rally for being too racist.
You'd think Republicans would understand there are plenty of class traitors that are also not white or straight and it wouldn't be an issue anymore for them, but then they would have to stop scapegoating and actually have to do something for the people.
I CANT DO IT
Somebody is going to perform the entire Uncle Ruckus litany at that woman
I feel like they're going to figure out how to do it as overtly as possible with some amount of plausible deniability. The word "removedrdly" comes to mind from the whole public debacle 20+ years ago.
removedrdly
nooooo sremovedhorpe strikes again!!!
Chuds managed to do it to Obama by misspelling renege.
