    I know for sure some people who didn’t vote because of white “leftist” content creators who were working hard all 2024 to smear Kamala and BIPOC liberal content creators. There’s not enough data to measure the damage they did, I don’t see any reason they should be let off the hook either.

      You mean the smear like her campaigning with a Cheney?

      Face it: The Harris campaign was barely organized and had no idea of how to campaign against Trump. They thought most people would just vote for her, and decided courting marginal Republicans would let them win.

        Criticizing the connection to Cheney is just fine, I’m talking about propaganda around how the “liberal media” is overreacting to Project 2025.

        And look where we are now: Project 2025.

        And it’s not even just about elections or results: there’s no excuse for a very influential white leftist to leverage their power to harass and put down BIPOC creators. There’s no excuse to defend this behavior.

            The same but not treated the same, America has some pretty brutal privilege hierarchies which makes life more difficult for minority groups, disabled people, and anyone who isn’t a cishet white Christian male.

            Which makes it inexcusable for a white leftist with capitol and influence to run harassment campaign against BIPOC creators.
