Super excited to see Jezebel picking up those ice-cold Fandom Wank takes from over a decade ago. Good times.

Yeah, I’m not feeling this. The comparison to female devotees of Columbine shooters seems extreme, and well.... just not in the same category at all.

I think I’m missing the point of this article to be honest. I do get a sort of, all-over, ick factor reading about these women and their infatuation with a disturbing, not at all heroic, fictional character though.

Jezebel: how can we take something that women willingly do to themselves, and make men responsible for it?

I think most people recognize that it is in their self-interest to elect Biden/Harris rather than re-elect Trump and vote accordingly. For others, well, the phrases “don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good” and “cutting off your nose to spite your face” come to mind.

Welcome to adulthood, Ashley. This is called voting for the lesser of two evils. Although, I think you’re wrong about Kamala.

My disdain for those who still pine for Bernie really knows no bounds. The absolute gall of their detachment from reality is as shocking as those who cling to the Trumpian mirrorverse. To not see that Trump and Bernie are but mirror images of each other is asinine. As you said, Berniacs are now contorting themselves…

Furthermore, demanding a MOVEMENT out of every candidate you support is dangerous, because movements run on emotion and emotion always runs out. Ask Obama how that went. He was elected on the biggest MOVEMENT in recent history, and passed a freaking national public health plan in America of places in his first year.…

Yeah, I’m often baffled at people looking square at the present day fascism rampant in the current administration, and then focusing on what happened 30-40 years ago (for Biden) or 10-15 years ago (for Harris)... when both have shifted significantly leftward, in line with the Democratic party as a whole, since those…

If you are still dickhurt about Bernie, get over it.

Clarence Thomas would beg to differ. I said what I said. 

On the contrary, I fully understand colorism, as I am also mixed, and have roughly the same complexion as Harris. I know that my life would be drastically different if I had more melanin than I currently do. Colorism is a construct and a device used to divide and conquer people of color, but at the end of the day—to a…

Google Ashley Reese and Kamala Harris.

Guess what, this year it is! And in fact, so was it in 2016. I’m going to assume you’re white because your selfishness is blinding.

WELP. That was a longish thinkpiece to circle around trying to rationalize not being thrilled by Harris, simply because she does not meet your Blackness and wokeness purity test. This does not surprise me at all, but I am vastly disappointed nonetheless. I am NOT sorry she is not as melanated as you want her to be.

I can’t muster a ton of excitement about the announcement because it seemed like a foregone conclusion months ago. It’s like Biden spent months trying to drum up buzz for an announcement that was just like “Yes, we already knew.”

Excited for your next post: “Why I’m Not Voting”

Respect your right to speak your truth. But you will find for a lot of black women like me it is all pride. No ambivalence or mixed feelings here. The problem with articles like this is with your platform this is amplified like it is the general feeling. Meanwhile my friends and I are bingeing on the joy of this…

I think it’s time Jezebel starts specifying which articles are opinion/commentary pieces and what’s a news story based on fact. This just came out like a diary entry of how the author feels about the media & public’s reaction to the VP process and not realizing they’re just feeding into it. VP’s historically don’t…

There are no perfect candidates, just like there are no perfect people. Sen. Harris is a brilliant, accomplished woman of color. Her selection is an acknowledgement of the importance of Black Women to the Democratic party and to this country. Let’s rejoice! Don’t let the trolls get you down.
