- A day after U.S. Senator Kamala Harris became the first Black woman in U.S. history to be chosen on a major party presidential ticket, political activist and professor Angela Davis said it has made the upcoming election on Nov. 3 “more palatable.”
Davis said even though there are problematic areas associated with Harris’ record as a prosecutor, she was excited that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden picked Harris as the nominee for vice president. “We can’t forget that she did not oppose the death penalty and we can’t forget some of the real problems that are associated with her career as a prosecutor,” said Davis, referring to Harris’ role as California’s attorney general.
“But... it’s a feminist approach to be able to work with those contradictions. And so, in that context, I can say that I’m very excited.Davis, a Black American, was a social activist in the 1960s who was sacked from her post as a philosophy professor at UCLA for being a Communist. She currently teaches at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Fraud.
Marxist/Communist's love each other.
I suddenly can’t read
I understand the logic of her argument, but heres the thing about old civil rights activists and why you may not want to take their advice in their present moment: They Fucking Lost. If people like Angela Davis had a winning strategy we wouldn't be here.
She’s wrong
Incorrect
who cares
billxwilder vou de passar pano 😑
I need people to leave me alone about her now.
Apparently this doesn't matter to Miss Davis who now needs to sit her ass down and be quiet!!!!
Angela IS the poster child of Kamala’s ideology-say no more!
no angela why
COMUNISTA, não é ativista seus corno!
Ang what?!?!
Nah!
🤮
ooooof
This makes me sad.
Who cares what they have done to harm the community, right? What is more important is the symbolism. The symbolism makes you feel good, so why worry about the pesky facts. Such a disappointing position Angela Davis has taken.
Kamala called joe Biden a white supremicist and publicly stated that she believes Biden’s rape accusers... what a duo
Your heroes die young, or live long enough to disappoint you.
She finally lived long enough to see herself become a villain.
😂😂😂 'more palatable' but still 😂😂😂
Ew a commie with hair that looks like the inside of ugg boots
It wont stop Trump. I believe in equality. I hate the idea of using color to balance equations. Whites are not superior to blacks. Rather, let competence be the yardstick for picking leadership roles.
What actually do VP's do?
Had she been picked in my country it would've been cos of her credentials. Not cos she's minority or a fucking woman. That's not the case for the US sadly, she knows it too. Even Biden saying he wanted a woman VP is fucking weird and kinda sexist. It comes off as fake.
oh no :((
🤔🤔🤔
When Idols become Rivals
I was about to say 'I bet this is out of context. Surely, what she meant is that choosing Kamala was strategically planned to try and appeal to liberal IDPOL; thus, making the ticket more 'palatable' for liberals.' But no. She really is excited for this and I just... what?!?!
I uh... I don't know what to say...
We should all start burning our bras again ... bloody marvellous!!!
The answer is still 'no, I do not consent to have a government even with a set of figure heads that are 2 people with long histories of enacting &/or writing racist & ableist public policies!'
A dash of balsamic would make a turd more palatable. Doesn't mean I'm gonna eat it.
The jokes write themselves
This article has barely any context or source or content... it’s a headline and nothing else... why is this journalism....
Davis has no principles. Like 90 percent of the “radical left” her sole function is to funnel alienated wokes into the Democratic Party. You can’t build a mass politics around leaders who can’t even stay committed to their own incoherent issue (in Davis’ case, prison abolition)
You misspelled 'accessory to murder.'
'abolitionist' endorses top cop.
I think a woman who’s been fighting all of her life can teach us a think or two about the long game and I’m listening
USA politics is analogous to a slippery but steep landscape. Hence presenting challenges.
Damn what happened to her?
I’m smarter than Ms Davis
Oof. =/
Did not expect a prison abolitionist to be pro cop, but i guess 2020 has been a rather weird year.
I’m honestly so confused. What is she talking when she mentions the feminist approach?
nata_huntt 🥴🥴🥴
laughing at anyone who still believes she’s not an asset
This person is a Marxist kook, not a political activist
Sigh
whocare
You mean someone who 'was' pro-gulag basically supports a mass incarceration queen? WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED? God can we stop worshipping her now ffs
😐
I love this woman but damn she disappoints a lot
RIPEdithNyasuu BS. And Angela Davis hasn’t been relevant since the 80’s. So her opinion is quite worthless.
Thank God I can rest easy knowing what Davis thinks.
To whom?
Than what?
Cringe
Angela, that may be true but to really get me and millions of other voters on board, Biden will need to come out in support of Wakanda
sprinkling some pee pee on the doo doo to make it 'spicy' and 'palatable'
LeaundraRoss 'more palatable'? How was it even a question? The choice is Biden or trump. There are no acceptable qualifiers. I'd vote for Biden if he'd picked a dust bunny as VP.
Nah, still looks entirely unappetizing from here.
Did 'US Political Activist' sound better than hard-line Communist?
What a stupid remark coming from a black woman. As if Trump or not voting was an option for her.
Oreo city
Angela Davis is a communist, good job media you left that out.
Para los comunistas
Angela Davis is not dead? She used to be pretty good looking. Used to be.
literally how
Activist? Lmao
The fact that Democrats need someone like Kamala Harris to add a little salt & pepper for flavor is telling.
Translation: brown people vote based on race not political platforms.
Umm, no!
Well, what's happened to Angela Davis? She didn't use to be such a ridiculous tool. Since when did Angela Davis support mass incarceration, which CommaLaHarris excelled in?
She needs to get her head checked! And if that doesn't do the trick, then she must spend at least 6 month's at a Tibet Monastery... 😉
Liberal mayors calling for the unionization of safe industries while calling police unions the problem, jobs made more dangerous because of liberal mayors, is insane. Lightfoot and the rest of you, you go stand up in front of the mob you created and see what happens.
what
As compared to Jus de Don Trump which is apparently quite tasty.
It is indeed ‘more succulent’
WTF cares what a commie has to say?
says a longtime member of the Communist party
But was she chosen for the right reasons? I can't see her as president, so was the only reason she was chosen was that she was a woman of color? democrats haven't made good decisions in the last 5 years at least. DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica WalkAway
Is for gourmet only. 😏
Kamala has the communist’s seal of approval
Yeah. We got this.
And the award for Best Damning With Faint Praise goes to...
In whose unseasoned and uneducated palate?
