@ChristianHeiens
Checking in on the “Woke is being put away” crowd.

This sort of stuff has become totally ingrained on the institutional Left. It’s not going anywhere. Not voluntarily, at least.

Asking the Left to abandon Wokeism is like asking a member of the Taliban to become an apostate from Islam.

Looking at the podiums... "all white" isn't exactly what I'd call it.

Anywho, are there no melanated candidates that wished to participate?

lol they are cartoons at this point.

Also, the darker variety were rushing to get their names on the ballot b/c they thought they were being blackballed

Or.....no one likes you and don't want to vote for you.

The University of Southern California canceled a gubernatorial debate less than 24 hours before it was supposed to take place Tuesday after facing outrage over including only white candidates.

Concerns about the selection criteria “have created a significant distraction from the issues that matter to voters,” the university said in a brief statement provided Tuesday. U.S.C. and KABC, the Los Angeles television station that was broadcasting the debate, could not reach an agreement on how to allow more candidates, the university said.

Tuesday’s debate was scheduled to include six candidates — two Republicans and three Democrats who were polling at the top, as well as another Democrat, Matt Mahan, the mayor of San Jose. Mr. Mahan’s polling has been weak, but he has raised millions of dollars from Silicon Valley executives since he entered the race in late January.

Fake & gay diversity is such a sacred cow for the Left. Not abortion level deification, but way up there.

That makes sense...

I'd like to know more about his inclusion- this makes it hard to differentiate if he's sixth place or just a moneybags.

We're also going to add this one guy at the end. He's polling horribly and has no change at winning, but holy frick is he rich so he's in.

I had forgotten that the media changed the Asian and Hispanic folks to white. The only thing they missed was calling the black dude Tom.

Their heads would explode if a conservative black guy showed up to debate.

Well, not only that, but they would want one of their foot soldiers to explode the head of the black conservative as well.
