Vivek Ramaswamy, the former presidential candidate running as a Republican for governor of Ohio, posted a Halloween photo of himself and his two sons on Friday. The post received a wave of xenophobic and racist replies, including one user who wrote, “I see this year Vivek went as an H1B immigrant here to steal your jobs. Very scary. Like the brown version of the Grinch.”

      I’m not willing to give him credit for performative acts, especially after seeing a president actually wield power these last eight months. Honestly a little surprised you are.

        Performative acts? That legislation would’ve passed if it hadn’t been struck down. He tried to pass it several times and did succeed in some instances, until the Trump administration ordered to pay up a few months ago.

        What’s baffling is how you’re so ready to discredit every and all of Democrats’ deeds. I get that they’re far from perfect and actively harmful in others, but your absolute stance to deny things that have actually happened is a little ridiculous.
