Your Regular Reminder That Kathleen Parker Is Still As Bigoted As Ever

The Washington Post's Kathleen Parker shows her true colors once.

By Steve M. — March 18, 2024

The Washington Post's Kathleen Parker thinks Democrats should dump Kamala Harris. That's a fairly common pundit opinion, but most anti-Harris pundits don't Go There. Parker decides to Go There:

The Democratic Party’s indulgence of identity politics has proved successful in building a diverse organization, but its strategy of courting (and pandering to) minority voters is the road to ruin....

The Kamala conundrum comes down to this: She was picked because she was Black and female, a combo tantamount to job security. Now that she has become a burden to the Democratic ticket, Biden can’t fire her. He can’t risk alienating his base. Full stop.

All I said was: I understand why Kathleen Parker felt the way she did in her piece.

of employees. The last 10 years they were more on the side of implementing Executive management’s plans, though they still wouldn’t allow discrimination of any kind and weren’t afraid of dismissing violators.
