Yeah, yeah we know. She’s a girl. She has an innie instead of an outie. Misogyny is the stupidest thing that has ever been.
- Misogyny is the stupidest thing that has ever been.
  I mean, I'm not gonna argue that misogyny is not absolutely asinine bullshit, but racists used to consider Irish people nonwhite..
  
  It makes sense when you realize white isn't/wasn't a race. It's a social status thinly veiled as a race.

Thing is, none of them seem to be effective.
Turns out, having a candidate people don't resent having to vote for makes it a lot less likely that attacks will land.
- It helps that she has a sense of humor (about herself and I'm general) and so far the attacks have just rolled right off of her. Trump on the other hand is as brittle as bad glass. He wishes he was as robust as a snowflake.

No more bleak than the fake commies on Lemmy.
- They're deeply annoying, but what do they have to do with this?
  
  They take part in spreading Russian and Chinese disinformation..
- Yeah, those are hilarious. They supposedly are communists but then support Russia or China.
- What does this have to do with Harris and the US media?
  
  ✨ just whataboutism things ✨
- LOL if those are fake communists, then there aren't any real ones.
  
  Sure there are. But, they don’t blindly promote countries that aren’t communist—like China.
