Joe Biden's former press secretary, Jen Psaki, appears to be rooting for him.

Vice President Kamala Harris would be the obvious “fallback” if Biden chooses to step down, Psaki said. Said on the Pod Save America podcast. But she does have one major weakness.

“[W]”We live in a sexist and racist country,” Psaki continued.

She seems to think that America is such a prejudiced country that Harris' race and gender could be insurmountable barriers to the White House.

Jen Psaki opined that Kamala Harris is an “underrated talent” because we “live in a country that is sexist and racist.”
“Kamala Harris is an underrated talent. She's a very sharp communicator.”
It's as if public opinion hasn't caught up with what she's doing.

Do I really need to say this? This is complete nonsense.

Americans enthusiastically elected their first black president nearly 20 years ago, and they were so racist that they reelected him to a second term.

And with the highest voter turnout in the history of American elections, America sent Harris herself to the White House as vice president. If they are so racist and sexist, it doesn't matter who is at the top of the list. Can you imagine that if the racist Southern Democrats chose a black woman as their vice president, they would send Woodrow Wilson, who followed the same path, to the Oval Office?

Most importantly, the most popular politician in America today is a black woman. Michelle Obama is “topping the charts.” Ipsos Her favorability rating is 10 points higher than both Donald Trump and Biden. America is so racist and sexist that if Michelle Obama decided to run, she would crush Trump.

The idea that America is hopelessly bigoted is a figment of the Democratic Party's feverish imagination — or, more cynically, a weapon of fear they use to drive voters to the polls.

Sometimes the strategy works: The idea that Trump is deeply racist and misogynist has undoubtedly helped turn moderates against him even if they liked his policies. But now Democrats have shot themselves in the foot by fully internalizing their own propaganda. Psaki likely speaks for many in her party when she expresses concern that Americans would prefer a dead white man to a conscious black woman.

All these age concerns make it seem nearly impossible for Biden to win. Kamala currently has a lower approval rating than Biden, but that could change if the corporate media goes all out in telling her how great she is over the next five months. Unfortunately for Democrats, Psaki seems to underestimate the ability of her and her media colleagues to deliver propaganda to the American people.
