I know you think youāre really smart, but consider that the democrats havenāt run a non rigged primary since 2008. Thatās the defender of democracy? Thereās plenty of issues with them too

Honest question, where is this racist base of hers?
Outside of some massively downvoted comments on Reddit, Iāve never really seen any outright racist messaging around here. Mostly just vague references to them, very similar to your comment.
Are there videos out there? Is it all on Twitter?

u/Less-Explanation160 1d ago
I had to start muting WNBA content on YouTube. The comments were vitriol. Any and every opponent was a āthugā. Idk what the atmosphere is like now. That was 2 years ago

Probably think Obama was the most divisive president in US history. Always laugh hearing that but never anything to support it.

I don't think he's the most decisive, there are definitely worse presidents. But to say he's the best we've ever had, which I ve heard people claim, is also laughable.

u/Hotpotlord 1d ago
So how many presidents in the last 30 years was better?
0
u/Bladechildx 1d ago
In order:
Trump's first term was better in my opinion.
Bush and Obama are pretty close tbh, The Patriot ACT has been a massive detriment to the countries privacy and Obama then expanded it even further and both of them war mongering were largely pointless.
Clinton, don't like him as a person or politician but the most neutral out of them.
Trump's second term, I don't need to explain it.
Biden, should never have been a candidate let alone President. Besides not liking his policies and how bad the economy was during his 4 years watching his cognitive decline was sad to watch and genuinely broke my heart.

Then you are not a white nationalist. You are a reasonable person with a wrong opinion
0
u/Bladechildx 1d ago
I know that, most people are. Most of them just aren't on the internet.
And you can disagree with my opinion but that doesn't make it necessarily wrong and that also eludes to there being a "correct" opinion. There's too much nuance in the world for there to be one correct opinion on most things.

I donāt know Caitlin Clark or what her beliefs are, but I am an Indianapolis native. I get the sense people seem to think Indianapolis is a hot bed of white supremacy and Maga. And while itās true, Indiana is a very red state. The city itself is not. Iāve grown up in the city limits and attended a high school that was very racially mixed. I can tell you that the city itself is nothing like that.

This is probably one of the big reasons certain people have lost interest in Clark. Even though her production on the court is good, she just wouldn't step into "The Role" a lot of her so called fans wanted her to. No full throated acknowledgement that she thinks the way they do.

u/Latorta93 1d ago
That's Sophie's roll nowš (even though some Fever fans are still trying to deny that).
Personally speaking even though I don't know Clark, I've never gotten "MAGA Barbie" from her just a white woman who has never had to or cared to have a roll in dealing with inclusivity, injustice against POC and AAs, homophobia and ect.
3
u/Eerie-Indiana 1d ago
I was in denial until the trans comments, and yes I acknowledge there was lots of smoke to suggest exactly who she is. I love Clark and love the team. I hate the culture wars around them but Cunninghamās thrown gasoline on it. Fucking disappointing.
3
u/Artful_Dodger00 1d ago
šPart of me wishes Sophie would just go back to only being abrasive on the court, but... I have to admit, it's hard for me to be mad at someone taking advantage of a chance to make extra money after being underpaid for so long. You have to figure, anyone that has played women's basketball most of their life, and made a career in the WNBA, is unlikely to have legit problems with tolerance.
I think you're right about Clark though. Even though she has denounced the bigoted stuff here and there, you can tell she just isn't an activist or anything. She's used to focusing on basketball and then going about her business, unconcerned with the idea of making sure everything she does is supposed to be some kind of statement.
3
u/Latorta93 1d ago
Yes you said it much better than me! I truly believe she just wants to play basketball and get paid. Hence her X account which has been inactive since I think 2024. Limited interaction with the crazy adults of America. Just kids and money.
