There were many reasons why I didn\u2019t support Hillary. To name a few: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/10\/08\/us\/politics\/hillary-clinton-speeches-wikileaks.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">her legalized bribes from Wall Street<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/hillary-clinton-regrets-her-iraq-vote-but-opting-for-intervention-was-a-pattern\/2016\/09\/15\/760c23d0-6645-11e6-96c0-37533479f3f5_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">her vote for the Iraq War<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In response to these policy and character-focused criticisms, many Hillary supporters \u2014 including women I worked with \u2014 dismissed the Bernie coalition as a bunch of \u201cBernie Bros\u201d who didn\u2019t like Hillary because of her gender. There are sexist people in every political movement, but the Hillary campaign was not able to prove that the average Bernie supporter was particularly sexist.<\/p>\n<p>Now Kamala is the Democratic Party candidate, and I\u2019m experiencing major d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu. Like Hillary, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensecrets.org\/2024-presidential-race\/kamala-harris\/candidate?id=N00036915\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Kamala receives legalized bribes from PACs, Super PACs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/dereksaul\/2024\/10\/30\/kamala-harris-has-more-billionaires-prominently-backing-her-than-trump-bezos-and-griffin-weigh-in-updated\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">billionaires<\/a>. During her tenure as California Attorney General, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/kamala-harris-has-to-answer-for-not-prosecuting-steve_b_5980d18ee4b09d231a518205\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Harris declined to prosecute former OneWest Bank CEO Steve Mnuchin<\/a>, who had <a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2017\/01\/03\/treasury-nominee-steve-mnuchins-bank-accused-of-widespread-misconduct-in-leaked-memo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">violated California foreclosure laws<\/a>. Mnuchin later donated to Harris\u2019 Senate campaign. Harris has supported all of our recent wars, and she has not expressed a clear plan to end the regional war in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/josephrauch.com\/therauchreview\/articles\/explaining-two-factions-us-political-left\/\">members of my political coalition<\/a> criticize Harris\u2019 policies and character, one of the go-to defenses is to call us sexist. The identity politics shielding game is worse than in 2016 because Kamala is both a woman and a person of color. Call Kamala out for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/08\/19\/medicare-for-all-harris-progressives-2024-elections-00174447\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">flip flopping on a position such as Medicare for All<\/a>, and you can expect at least a few members of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/elections\/2024\/07\/03\/what-is-the-khive-kamala-harris\/74289565007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">KHive<\/a> to call you both sexist <em>and<\/em> racist.<\/p>\n<h2>Acknowledging the Actual Sexist and Racist Attacks<\/h2>\n<p>To be fair to Kamala, there are some attacks out there that are genuinely sexist and\/or racist. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TrumpWon_USA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Some Trump fans have shamed Kamala<\/a> for her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/world\/fact-check-kamala-harrisandwillie-brownhad-a-relationshipover-adecadeafte-idUSKBN26Y2RJ\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">alleged affair with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown<\/a>. It\u2019s sexist to shame Kamala for an alleged affair while disregarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-64920037\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Trump\u2019s alleged affair<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Other Kamala opponents have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/entertainment\/2024\/09\/22\/janet-jackson-kamala-harris-race-black-indian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">denied she is Black at all<\/a>, despite her father being Jamaican. As a biracial person myself, I have defended Kamala on this issue. Clearly she is Black and Indian. There\u2019s no need to choose one half and delete the other from the conversation. I am half white (Ashkenazi specifically) and half Arab (Lebanese), and I don\u2019t appreciate when people say I am only allowed to identify with one ethnicity.<\/p>\n<p>These are the attacks that deserve condemnation. Men with policy and character concerns should not be treated the same as men who single out Kamala for being a Black\/Indian woman.<\/p>\n<h2>It\u2019s About Being Against Identity Politics Voting, Not Women or People of Color<\/h2>\n<p>I do not vote for people based on their identity politics. I don\u2019t care about how they look, what their voice sounds like, how old they are, their sexual orientation, where they\u2019re from, whether they\u2019re religious, etc. I vote based on <a href=\"https:\/\/josephrauch.com\/therauchreview\/articles\/our-philosophy-populism-leftism\/\">political principles<\/a> and how much I trust the candidate.<\/p>\n<p>This presidential election cycle, most members of my political coalition are supporting Jill Stein, who happens to be an old white woman. Obviously we don\u2019t have a problem with the idea of women being president. <a href=\"https:\/\/josephrauch.com\/therauchreview\/tag\/cornel-west\/\">Cornel West<\/a>, an old Black man, was actually the original Green Party nominee for this cycle, but he left the ticket, and his campaign has not gained as much momentum as Stein\u2019s. I probably would\u2019ve voted for West, too.<\/p>\n<p>As for women of color, there are amazing people I deeply respect and would vote for if they were on my ballot or if I felt like writing them in would disrupt the two-party system more than Jill Stein. <a href=\"https:\/\/votesocialist2024.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Claudia De la Cruz<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/cmkshama?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Kshama Sawant<\/a> are the two who come to mind right now.<\/p>\n<p>When people call us men sexist or racist because of policy and character critiques, we need to stand strong. People use these types of accusations to deflect from legitimate concerns about political corruption, to distract from meaningful conversations about political strategy. If you feel guilty for not being enthusiastic about Kamala\u2019s campaign just because she\u2019s a Black woman, you\u2019ve allowed the bad faith attacks to win.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editorial Note: Photo
