Double Standard

Here's a puzzle. Commentators are remarking that Kamala Harris's candidacy is bringing African Americans and women back to the Democratic fold. No doubt it is. Blacks will vote for Harris because she's part black and women will vote for her because she's a woman. No one, at least not on the left, seems to think this is unexceptional or regrettable.

If someone were to suggest, however, that he planned to vote for Donald Trump because he's white or because he's a man, the poor soul would be pilloried by all the woke Puritans who would brand him a racist for the first offense and a gender bigot for the second.

Why is this double standard tolerated?

Thankfully, there are signs that it may not be tolerated too much longer as we see in this video. Watch the reaction of the others on this zoom chat when Paige says she's going to vote for Kamala only because she's a black woman.
