I thought Kamala stans were not going after anybody running but Bernie. The fact that there have been more than a half dozen other white men jump in and none of them were accused of white male entitlement shows that they are threatened and trying to tear this man down for no reason. He has every right to state his case to voters. If someone prefers to vote for a woman or candidate of color that is their absolute right to do so but the lame smears are not going to make his supporters coalesce around your girl.
The gender politics around Beto though are worth acknowledging. Any female candidate who left her family to do a solo cross-country trip and write blog posts about it would get crucified. Beto's a strong candidate but he absolutely benefits from some male privilege.
Kamala’s crew was touting that “Vote Blue No Matter Who” mantra and refusing to take swipes at any non-Bernie candidate until a real threat got into the race. It’s no coincidence she’s running to Houston for a rally next week.
Beto's got the good luck of being a privilege white male who happened to gain national exposure by nearly beating Ted Cruz. Now, I don't want to take away just how close we came to beating the most notorious GOP senator in red Texas, it's just unfair that after losing O'Rourke has to steal the spotlight again from more qualified candidates in the race. I think if he wants to be involved in politics he should just become the national state party chairman, or run again for either a higher office position, governor or state-elect senator.
I'm afraid despite his charisma O'Rourke won't have the guts to beat Trump in a election like I have the confidence in other candidates such as Harris and Booker.
