Taliban Official Mocks US for Rejecting Kamala Harris: 'Americans Are Not Ready to Hand Over' Country 'to a Woman'

Sort of? I think this was more of a "see, Americans agree, women are shit".

That's their point, that Americans aren't much different than them, neither wants a woman in a position of power

That's the point. They're ridiculing the hypocrisy, not the sexism.

It’s not only the taliban, they’re despicable, but the US would never elect a woman, at least that’s what the rest of the world thinks

Should have run Tulsi Gabbard.

I’m sure the response would have been identical though, given this is about sex and not Kamala Harris’s appeal as a candidate.

No they aren't, and with that attitude we will continue to repeat this mistake over and over and over.

The people want change. A lot of change. You can work 40 hours a week and barely scrape by paycheck to paycheck, and it's been like that for years. Housing is even more unaffordable.
Nothing has changed for years.
People are angry.

Donald Trump taps into that. That is his whole message. That he is an outsider, he is not the status quo, he is the one who shakes things up. He does not listen to PR people. He says what's on his mind. He is the closest thing to a Bulworth candidate we've had in quite some time.

I personally think he is a liar and a criminal, but not everybody shares that view.

What does Kamala have going for her? She is the vice president, next in line of a succession. There is no radical reform there. It is status quo. And let's not forget that before Biden dropped out and Kamala was crowned successor, she was pulling very low even among Democrats.

The problem is not that America refuses to hand the country over to a woman. The problem is that the DNC keeps putting forward the wrong people as candidates, and expects the whole nation to vote for them simply because they're not Republican. It doesn't work that way.

My point is though, as long as you blame sexism or racism or whatever for Trump's win, you hide the real problem and thus prevent it from being fixed.

It NEEDS to be fixed.
For the good of the country, we (Dems) cannot expect people to just vote for us because we're not Republican. We need to offer them something better. Obama did that. That's why he won. Hope, change, yes we can. That was something better. And so he defeated a real non-crazy Republican.

Whoever is the next Democratic candidate, they need to do that. Offer a real message and a real plan. Not just 'I'm not red'.

No. People wanted Michelle Obama but nobody was given a choice.

Enemy must be strong and weak.

Or like kamalacaust saying she's hard on zionism and also supports zionism.

Yes that's what they're trolling about. That Americans memorialize but are also anti women

Wrong.

Dick Cheney, aghast that Americans could allow someone as Islamophobic as Trump to represent them.

That's the joke.

Ah the old bad guy cliché. You know they feel threatened when they bust out the "We're the same, you and I!" Lol

And why they seem to selectively think sexism is bad while denying women education

That's not what they're saying. They're mocking American hypocrisy.

They're trolling the US because why not.

I read it as a troll statement. Americans moralize to the world about treating women equally, but Americans also don't want a woman in a position of power, so I read it as the Taliban mocking the u.s for being just like them while being hypocrites

Where is Ja Rule when you need him?

I think that’s the point they are making.. US should be better than the Taliban.

Honestly probably intentional.
