U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has repeatedly claimed that she worked at McDonald’s while getting her undergraduate degree in the 1980s. This claim has been reported by multiple reputable news outlets, but aside from Harris’ own testimony, there is no independent evidence such as a photo, employment record, or confirmation from a friend or family member to verify the story. Harris has invoked the alleged McDonald’s work experience throughout her political career, including in a 2024 presidential campaign ad and during a 2024 appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show.” Other prominent Democrats, such as former President Bill Clinton, have also repeated the anecdote. However, some internet users have challenged the claim, with unverified reports that “McDonald’s Corporate sources” have no record of Harris working at their locations. Snopes reached out to Harris’ campaign and McDonald’s headquarters seeking evidence to corroborate the claim, but as of the report’s publication, no such proof has been uncovered. Without tangible evidence to independently confirm or debunk the story, Snopes has rated the claim “Research In Progress” as they continue to investigate.
He’s disingenuous. If you mention any of the realities of FPTP you get bold-texted diatribes; “YOU, sir, are a scale on the back of the TWO-HEADED SNAKE.”
He is either a MAGA cosplaying as a lefty or one of the authoritarian “leftists” who love state capitalist nations.
If calling out the duopoly and its stranglehold on democracy makes you uncomfortable, maybe it’s because deep down, you know it’s true.
I’m neither MAGA nor a fan of state capitalism—I’m here to fight for the working class and challenge the broken system that both major parties prop up.
If that makes you uneasy, maybe it’s time to reflect on why. Seems like I touched a nerve for you.
Challenge the broken system by doing exactly what MAGA is urging people to do, sure thing. Why are you so offended that you’re seeking out comments I didn’t even write to you? It’s because you know I am right.
It’s telling that you’re so quick to imply that I’m playing into MAGA’s hands, but I’m starting to wonder if it’s you who’s the real MAGA agent here. Your eagerness to defend the corrupt duopoly while throwing out baseless accusations reeks of someone desperate to keep people in line with the status quo. I think that you’re the one following the MAGA playbook, trying to silence anyone who dares to challenge the broken system you so dearly want to protect.
I’m not seeking anything out. As I was replying to another comment, I noticed yours. That’s how this Lemmy thing works.
