    The Taliban would have never allowed a woman on the ballot at all so yeah don’t need their opinion on this.

      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

        Yep, my female workmate told me on the morning of election that she believes trump will win because men hate woman.

          And she was right. Not me but you all. We were all rooting for Kamala this side of the Atlantic

          Sorry didn’t really mean that, but hope you understand the sentiment

            I’m from Germany and she is too.

            It looks bleak and we will follow America’s lead. I don’t think we can point fingers at anyone from over here. Just listen to the people speak around you.

          So “men hate women” huh? Is this something she believes of all men? I wonder what her response to an entire sex hating another entire sex is. I wonder if that belief of her colors all her interpretations of all men.

            Obviously not, since she is a friend of mine and felt comfortable enough to tell me.

            She didn’t say all men so stop your bullshit victim complex from rotting away your mind

            I’m so fed up with assholes like you.

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

        At least the US system allows women to run for office, and indeed plenty are in lower offices.

          It would be very dumb to move from a place where project 2025 is about to happen to a place where project 2025 has been happening for awhile.

      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.

    Like ads saying Harris was too hard on Israel and too soft on Israel coming from the exact same org. Anyone with a lick of sense knows they’re disingenuous, but most people are fucking stupid.

    I’d like to thank the Taliban for their valuable feedback. Next, I’ll ask David Duke for his thoughts on race relations.

    I’m deeply confused as to why they have any statement…

    And why they think the US is sexist

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

    And why this is news or worthy of print.

    And for gods sakes won’t someone tell me what Ja rule thinks of this???

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

          I don’t necessarily disagree. But I don’t exactly consider Latintimes as mainstream news. They have a decided lean to the left and are publishing a story that points to something they want to say. No different than when a conservative right leaning website with a name like “Patriot Page”, or “Freedom Force” or some other creepy MAGA bullshit name does the same thing.

          There are main stream outlets, and then there are outlets that we can all tell, mostly from their content, don’t bother to hide their bent left or right.

          This isn’t like CNN or CBS or BBC are broadcasting it. (Cue somebody linking to exactly that…making me look like an idiot.) Heck, AFAIK, even Fox News and MSNBC, the two “main stream media” sources that I would consider least biased in both directions, aren’t touching it as a story.

      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

    If Tulsi Gabbard had been allowed to run, I’d have 100% voted for her. Kamala Harris is not the type of woman I want for president. If she were to be the first woman president, we’d never have a woman president again, because everyone would be so put off by her

          Back when Russia invaded Ukraine, they issued a statement about how they’re saddened that Europe has descended into violence and are calling for the region to give peace a chance. It was a solid troll.
