BAHAMAS CHRONICLE EDITOR’S NOTE: I absolutely had to share this post by Evita Ellis with readers of my Washington, D.C. – based online publication, BAHAMAS CHRONICLE, which has a huge following among the Bahamian diaspora across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom as well as in The Bahamas and the wider Caribbean
HE UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGHMENT💙💙
The “Old White Dudes for Harris” is a tongue-in-cheek name for a group of older white men who support Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign.
This group is significant because it represents a demographic that has traditionally been associated with conservative or moderate political views, but are now actively supporting a progressive candidate of color.
The importance of this group lies in:
- Breaking stereotypes: Their support challenges the notion that older white men are inherently opposed to progressive candidates or candidates of color.
- Building coalitions: It demonstrates the ability to build diverse coalitions and attract supporters from various backgrounds, crucial for winning elections.
- Countering polarization: In a polarized political climate, this group’s support shows that people from different backgrounds can find common ground and work together.
- Amplifying Kamala’s message: Their endorsement can help reach a broader audience and amplify Kamala Harris’ message, potentially attracting more supporters.
While the name “Old White Dudes for Harris” is humorous, it highlights the significance of diverse support for Kamala Harris’ campaign, which can help pave the way for a more inclusive and representative presidency.
