“Illinois Democrats have a rare opportunity to help send a Black woman to the Senate this year …”

… or, they could help send the best qualified person to the Senate this year, without considering race. What a concept.

An unaccomplished black female political animal? No thanks. We had that with Carol Mosely Fraud. DNC typists Shia Kapos and Brakkton Booker missed the memo putting DEI in the trash bin of history where it belongs.

The Democrats have nothing to run on except fear. The have nothing to offer.

Politico hasn’t been the same since its funding from USAID got cut.

DEI should not factor into this race. IL needs a competent, centered person, not a person who supports criminals, illegals, and Democratic socialist policies. We have enough of that in IL. Look at how useless Duckworth is. Vote Red.

A black woman that only fetched JB’s dry cleaning, was the first person to buy legalized cannabis and runs on a “ Bad Orange Man !” platform. Hooray! How empowering!

What’s a woman? Can they answer that?
In the new world order of Kamala, who’s even black or not?
Like sexes can anyone claim to be black or an Indian?
