Former President Barack Obama on Thursday admonished Black men who he believes have not adequately supported Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, telling them it’s “not acceptable” to sit out this election and suggesting they might be reluctant to vote for Harris because she’s a woman.

He then ends up suggesting the reason they don’t like Harris is because she’s a woman -

“Because part of it makes me think – and I’m speaking to men directly – part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”

      Not really. We had already elected delegates and those same delegates cast their votes.

        We also voted for Biden-Harris knowing that Harris was backup in case anything happened to Biden

        Sure I agree people voted Biden/Harris, and ill vote for the best choice but I at least would like the choice. That is the only bad taste in mouth.
