I’m so out of the loop on the coconut thing. What’s even implied by that? squints eyes Is that a fucking brown on the outside white on the inside thing??? That’s fucking gross if that’s what it is.
I just spent 10 minutes reading up on it. It’s SO convoluted that I could not follow what has happened and why. I still do not understand, and I want those 10 minutes back.
I, too, have been atomically dissecting that meme to find the racism, and you know I won’t rule out that when the GOP makes a joke about that actually is what they mean, but it appears to be a thing fans of Harris also meme about.
She was telling a folksy story of growing up and she recounted how her mother had asked if the kids had just fallen out of a coconut tree. It’s a cute alternative to “were you born yesterday” or something like that.
I dunno, it has big “what doesn’t everyone say ‘porch monkeys?’” energy.
I’m in some chats with right wingers. At first they were happy. Which was actually nice for once and we stopped talking about politics every .002 seconds. Then they went down this batshit, bizarre conspiracy hole about Biden not really withdrawing because it wasn’t announced on whitehouse.gov. They’re just making fun of Kamala now. Jimmies are definitely russled.
Economic points are limited to plans gestures about taxes. Nothing about tackling corporate-induced inflation / shrinkflation.
Nothing about supporting workers’ rights and aiding labor organizations.
Nothing about building a stronger regulatory framework and tackling loophole use by corporations and ultrawealthy.
Nothing here on continuing to support US allies and build international partnerships.
I recognize none of these are exactly keystone domestic culture war issues, and also all more or less reflect where she stood on Biden’s major pushes. But I’m still disappointed these all go unmentioned.
Most people in the US don’t care about Gaza because they don’t really understand. The election should be about what she can do for me (us). I’m no fan of genocide, or providing weapons for it, but I’ll choose my own life over them. Hopefully she feels different than Biden.
