I don't care who you are; if you're legally able to, go vote. Just goddamn vote. We can't survive a Trump sequel.

Before passing judgement, check out what was said in the call and what they stand for.

I don't think sorting people by race and sex is a good strategy for appealing to swing voters.

Good thing you're not running Harris's campaign then...

Do you think the several examples of "White guys? eww." found in this thread are a better strategy?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No one has done that, and I know because I'm one of the people you're complaining to. White men are value neutral. White men organizing on race and sex is the disturbing part because there's both no real need for it to happen and literally every other time it's happened it's devolved into white supremacy.

You literally did that seven hours prior.

Even if organized for a good purpose, gathering white dudes together as a social group feels icky as all hell.

Because the swing voters are predominantly multiracial enbies?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

I think they're saying swing voters are often white "I don't see race" types and don't understand why a black woman's organization should exist in the first place.

Its actually a genius strategy showing she has widespread appeal across different groups.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

It isn't sorting, it is breaking stereotypes.

It's worth noting that these zoom calls & livestreams are not organized by the Harris campaign (article points that out)
