You've asserted that a particular race and gender are superior, on their own merits, irrespective of other character faults. Compare your statement to this example; "...disturbing number of Americans would choose a giggling, insincere buffoon over a white man as our President?" Are you able to see what's wrong with this?

Absolutely I am able to see what is wrong with that. I don't, as you apparently do, consider VP Harris to be a "giggling, insincere buffoon". Whereas I do, and you apparently do not, consider Trump to be traitorous, grifting, lying, narcissistic, conniving crook. Hence my thinly veiled assertion that those who would choose Trump over Harris are at the minimum racists and probably sexists, too.

It didn’t occur to me that any racism and sexism were showing because he clearly and unmistakeable did not assert that.

Are you able to see what's wrong with this? What is wrong with it? If indeed it was that case that a large number of people would rather vote for a circus clown than any white male candidate then what could possibly be wrong with pointing that out? The point you seem to be making here is truly bizarre. I honestly don’t know how you’ve managed to trap yourself down this rabbit hole. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Read it again carefully and then put away your strawman. Not 'people'. 'Americans'. Do you see what's wrong with it yet? For Joe to assert that votes against Harris would be based exclusively on race and gender is as absurd as asserting that votes against Trump would be based on the same.

It would be the height of wilful ignorance to believe that there are not people who would vote against Harris based on race and gender. Your problem is that you seem to be both reading and writing an invisible “all” in these statements. But that really is entirely your problem, not ours. (BTW, WTF are you talking about with the distinction between Americans and people? What difference does that make? How on earth is it a straw man? Are you arguing that there are racist people in the world but none of them are American? Because I have no fucking clue what else you could possibly mean.)
