Quote of the Day
âI worked on Kamala Harris' campaign and observed the DNC's moves VERY closely during 2024. I want people to understand that the DNC 'autopsy' is a lie. It ignores the racism, the preventable COVID outbreak they caused that lasted for months, their sexism, incompetence, and despising of a Black/Indian woman and the power she was growing through support â they didn't like it because they were white and it was Black joy.â
In a Threads post, Natasha says Kamala Harris lost because the DNC is rooted in racism.
