    Do you have evidence to show that the majority of Californians think that Harris was a “DEI hire?”

      Now you’re twisting my words. I’m not trying to defend Republicans. I’m trying to help you understand the nature and intent behind their words so you realize they aren’t as dumb as you think. Respect thy enemy and all that.

      Most Californians think hiring based on race is wrong, and racist. Across the country, the margins on that get even better.

      Republicans are just playing into that. You can downvote me all you want, but it doesn’t change the political reality of the situation.

      Edit: I just checked - 7 in 10 Americans oppose affirmative action (reverse racism). To quote Biden, “It’s a fact, Jack!” You may support it, but that doesn’t make it a winning campaign strategy.

          I’m not defending them. It is possible to describe a political reality without endorsing that reality. That’s all I’m doing.
