    Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un are “laughing at us right now.”

    And they’re loving the goons continuing their antidemocratic work of perpetually attacking Harris. Crisis averted: a black woman didn’t get in the hot seat where she could have actually moved the needle toward progress. True progressives understand why Rosa Parks was picked even though she wasn’t first. The purity test bullshit on the left is a successful bait campaign by the right.

          I love how you complain about “purity test bullshit” while implying that anyone who doesn’t align with your beliefs is working for Putin or Kim Jong Un.

          Your entire argument is purity test bullshit with a dash of racism and misogyny by infantalizing Harris and removing her agency as a person, boiling her, her career, and her campaign down to a simple “black woman.” She didn’t lose on the merits of her policies, decisions, or actions. No, “it’s because she’s black and a woman.”

          You’re a perfect example of why the Democrats lost control of every branch of of government. Your words are nothing more than superficial virtue signaling about progressivism that when broken down represent the antithesis of progressivism. You represent the views of a 1990’s Republican whether you realize it or not.

      Unironic use of “purity test” means “I have no standards and expect you to abandon yours.”
