If all they were offering was a chance to elect the first minority president, then complaints about DEI hire are not entirely out of hand are they?

The democrats simply can't win if they need to be funded by corporations but earn votes from the average american who are getting fucked by those corporations.

If that were all she had to offer, then you'd be right. If, however, purely hypothetically, she offered to actively combat price-gouging, for example, that would benefit the vast majority of people at the cost of the usurers' theft profits, which should net her the support of the vast majority of the electorate. Only one example out of many, which Fox will duly be silent about while focusing on HER ONLY BEING A DEI HIRE DO NOT TAKE IN ANY OTHER INFORMATION KEEP PARROTING THE DEI HIRE TALKING POINT FORGET ABOUT ANYTHING SHE ACTUALLY SAYS OR STATES ON HER POLICIES! DEI HIRE! DEI HIRE! DEI HIRE!

I just think even democrats had trouble trusting she actually stood for those things. Thats the problem. Its funny the democrats were arguing green party voters only come out and campaign every four years, when democrats seem to only have progressive values every four years.

This time they went crazy and tried to go conservative for some reason, thinking they could out republican the republicans.

They really thought republicans were reluctantly voting for trump. They really thought they could win without sacrificing all their corporate donations either.
