Barf !! A blue suit? What does have to do with anything?

For sure you hope Joe doesn't pass. Does she automatically become Presidente if Joe dies, for how long?

I am Kamala Harris, my pronouns are she and her. I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit," a masked Harris said while introducing herself.



An event with Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday featured her and guests at the table introducing themselves with their names, pronouns, and descriptions of their clothing, drawing both mockery and defense from media members online.

Harris led a roundtable about the overturning of Roe v. Wade and its effects on disabled people.

"Good afternoon. I want to welcome these leaders for coming in to have this very important discussion about some of the most pressing issues of our time. I am Kamala Harris, my pronouns are she and her. I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit," a masked Harris said while introducing herself.
Other figures at the table introduced themselves with such descriptions as, "I'm a Latina with blond highlighted hair, and I'm wearing a gray blazer over a black-shade dress," and "my pronouns are she/her, I'm a White woman with long brown hair, I'm wearing a red dress, and I'm wearing a see-through mask so you can see my red lips." Another said, "I am a Black woman with curly hair, and I am wearing a vintage black and floral dress."


Conservatives who often mock liberals for embracing the idea of sharing their gender pronouns had a field day with the clip. It's common on Twitter to see progressives share their pronouns in their bios.

"When did Kamala become a biologist?" comedian Tim Young quipped.

"This is why the rest of the world laughs at us," ex-journalist Beth Baumann added.

"And they wonder why ordinary Americans think these people have lost their grip," National Review's Dan McLaughlin tweeted.

"If she would repudiate woke inanities and move towards a commonsensical centrism, she would be embraced by a majority of Americans. Instead, she just digs in," the American Enterprise Institute's Christina Sommers wrote.

This seems obvious but you never know with lefties. Where's that pic of Captain Obvious?

LOL. Why are mostly middle aged and older white males so threatened by the way in which someone refers to themselves. Very funny and interesting.

This is so funny!
The same people who are upset about her doing this don’t give a damn about Trump Inciting a riot on January 6th.
Oh yeah, remember when Obama wore that tan suit, just not presidential.
It is like we are now living in the Twilight zone.

I've seen people with significant mental illnesses that use mantras just like this one to manage delusional tendencies/anxiety/manic behaviour.

You seem to miss the point that she was addressing people with disabilities, including people who are blind. Apparently it is the polite thing to do when meeting with blind people for the first time. Let's them get a mental picture of who they are listening to.

But sure, let's make this a big deal and be outraged by it, as only Fox News and the right-wing can do.

It must really annoy right wingers when people acknowledge blind listeners.
Maybe. But for future reference It's not blind listeners, it's listeners who are blind. The person/people come first, the disability comes second. Carry on.

Or more technically, visually impaired.
But I'll take your point.

I do not give a rats ass what someone calls themselves

Its their instance that I address them as they determine (i.e compelled speech) that is the issue

How can people get upset/angry over this...or even give a shit?

Not even an issue...
its a bit of a problem when the president of the US is growing senile and his replacement is a moron ideologue who's last original thought died of loneliness

I'm confused:

So, a single woman calling herself a "her" (which is true) and announcing that she is wearing blue (which was also true at the time) is causing a Twitter shitstorm? Meanwhile, an insurrection at the US Capitol or the hearings about it, doesn't?

It is beginning to appear that Americans really need some electroshock therapy because nothing else seems to be working.....
