when he answered that pool reporters question about “what about maura healy” and he paused, looked her in the eye and said “maura healy didn’t say one word in that room” i knew it was over.
In Pew’s analysis of 2016, 62% of white men and 47% of white women voted for Trump.
They had to use an *asterisk* to represent the percentage of black women who voted for Trump because they couldn’t confidently say even 1% did.
That’s whose hands the base belongs in.
I’m convinced that these dudes are *terrified* of the possibility that a Black woman could become president
That’s why they want Biden out (so he doesn’t become incapacitated in office) but also don’t want Harris (or any other nonwhite person) to be his replacement on the ticket
They are absolutely shitting themselves. A lot of solidarity is conditioned on Black woman, staying in a secondary (or, distant tertiary) role. Not leadership. They want us as the mammies to their movement.
Lots of responsibility being placed on Black women's shoulders (including post hoc) without the top-down power/control/authority that should go along with that responsibility.
