Why are we still doing "too black" as an excuse after having a black president for 8 years?
My theory: I think framing like this is an attempt to create infighting on the left. I remember her doing poorly because she's center right and wasn't the most well known center right dem in the 2020 race. Notably Biden had similar positions and was much more widely known.
Because Obama was a one time novelty, let’s not act as if racism over
Nobody is doing that friend. It’s just pointing out how democrats are reheating 2020 idpol arguments rather than dealing with the actual reason she got 1 percent in those primaries
No, racism isn't over, I get that. But I also don't think Obama is a onetime novelty. I think he offered enough, well at least the illusion of enough, material benefit to sway voters. The biggest problem Kamala had in 2020, and even now, was that she really didn't have anything to offer voters to set her apart from the field.
Her lack of charisma is very apparent. Libs just won’t admit she is unlikable because they are scared the truth will hurt her chances.
Racism isn't over but democrats officially announced it is over, so the claim from the same people that Kamala was "too black" after 8 years of black president they all loved sound at least very weird.
