      Not that I disagree but Kamala married Doug in 2014 and has two step children, aged 29 and 25. Or 19 and 15 at the time of marriage.

      She is certainly a mother if she wants that title.

        Ah, this I was unaware of… well then those Republicans can get fucked. As a fellow parent by marriage exclusively kids are kids regardless of whether someone wants to throw a step in there… and discounting stepchildren reeks of icky eugenics bullshit.

    dude they really have nothing. this is so pathetic lol… you’d think they have something but all they’ve gone up with so far has been:

    • is woman
    • is not white
    • laughs
    • is stepmom

    the one thing that might actually hurt her support is that she’s a prosecutor but they can’t use that because they’re supposed to be the tough on crime crowd but also nominated a convicted felon so it’s really dumb to bring up the fact that she’s a prosecutor.

    edit: new attack line just dropped; add it to the list:

    • is against plastic straws

    man, she’s really done for now

      You’re making the mistake of assuming they will act logically, instead of like a brainwashed death cult. If logic mattered they wouldn’t be Republicans.

        They want to overhaul the justice system and redefine right and wrong, so they could easily attack her while being on their same message.

    They’re not morally satisfied with anyone who’s not a white father of at least 5 children from at least 3 mothers.

    The GOP wants to control every aspect of women’s lives and their bodies. That’s why Harris’ life choices and political success infuriate them

    But, of course, whether or not Harris is a parent, or how she parents, is not the GOP’s real issue. The real issue is that the GOP wants to exert control over every aspect of women’s lives, beginning with their bodies. The Dobbs decision was the beginning, but it is far from where they hope to take us. The Project 2025 manifesto wants to eliminate coverage of emergency contraception. Vance, himself, has said he’s in favor of a national abortion ban. And there is an increasing push on the right to roll back no-fault divorce.

    Harris represents an idea of womanhood that flies in the face of all this.

    The real reason is that they are fascist and they want to do fascist things. And they can’t do as many fascist things if Trump is not elected as president.

      Bombing their set, furiously flipping through their recipe cards for a bit that works, but all they have is junk
