What the hell is this crap?

I am going to post the link to the article, but if you don't want to go check it out, I understand completely. I wish I had not looked at it. But, I always feel that knowing is more than half the battle.

(Disclosure, it says yahoo but is a Telegraph piece.)

Personally, I think this is more of what Jeff Tiedrich was talking about. The mainstream media seems to want that orange gibbon to be president. They are constantly creating a negative bias against the Democrats and the Biden team. However, this also says to me that they are this desperate to try anything to win. That is the mark of a loser. Which is not a surprise when we are talking about the rethugs and their child-king.

3. Unfortunately, shitting on our VP isn't exclusive to the right

There's plenty of folks lining up to do that any time that VP Harris is given the spotlight or praise, even in liberal circles. I don't understand it and it infuriates me. The easy answer is it's driven by misogyny and racism, but, when you consider the attacks on her from the left how could that be? Again, I think misogyny and racism are the undercurrents of the critics that say things like "she didn't even win support in the 2020 primaries" "she wasn't competitive" "she's not likeable". She is the FIRST FEMALE VICE PRESIDENT and our side seems to struggle with even promoting that accomplishment let alone giving her the credit she's earned while serving in that role.

10. I think she's earned the right to be the next in line

She's proven her prowess and shown time and again that President Biden made the right choice in his running mate

4. Just the usual stuff.

A few less-than-eloquent statements in three years and they think they found another Dan Quayle. Or Marjorie Taylor Greene. Just writers being writers.

8. Our corporate overlords, whose puppets are the Reich wing, are going for broke

They know their supporters are dying off, so they're doing everything they can to end democracy so they don't have to face losing any of their power ($).

They also know most women vote for the other side, so misogyny is the order of the day.

I hope the majority of white women decide to stop voting for them this year.

9. The Telegraph is the UK's NY Post

So there's that built-in rightist rumor-monger bias. Is there a grain of truth in it? There are undeniable background rumblings that do exist, let's face it.

12. Yahoo is not a web site

It is a byline for the people that write there
