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.
It’s amusing how you try to twist words and mock what you don’t understand.
Recognizing systematic flaws isn’t “woke”—it’s being awake to the reality of exploitation and injustice that workers have faced for centuries.
Call it what you want, but if standing with the working class against oppression bothers you, then maybe you should reconsider which side of history you’re on.
“To me, it means someone who believes that there are systemic injustices in the criminal justice system”
Was the last use I know of in the courts. Thereby you are woke if you side with the injustices against the working class.
People who are anti woke: Trump, Desantis, MTG, and you. Who seems to be a fascist hiding behind a veil.
Dude, I’m a proud socialist. What are you even going on about?!
The vast, vast majority of my posts are for workers rights, socialist causes, union issues, and education. What part of that makes me seem like I like Trump or that I am a fascist?! Like what?! lolol
I’ve contributed over 200 posts and comments to the Lemmy socialist community I created and that I mod. I’m a member of the Socialist Workers Party, and I support them financially. You can check out the sub here:

I moderate socialists is the defense? That’s what the NAZI’s did mate, maybe social workers unite is not your best term.
So, now you’re comparing moderating a socialist forum to the heinous crimes of the Nazis? Say what, mate?! WTF is wrong with you?!
That’s the kind of twisted logic the capitalist overlords feed to those too scared to stand against them!
If you think standing up for workers’ rights and moderating a space where true revolutionary ideas can flourish makes me anything like those monsters, then you’ve lost all sense of reality.
Maybe it’s time you examine whose agenda you’re truly serving, because it sure as hell isn’t the working class. Wow. Just wow.

So whose agenda do you think I am serving by being socialist? Don’t be vague, come on, just say it. Say it out loud. You realize I didn’t write nor did post this article, right?!
So who’s agenda am I serving? What huge socialist overlord am I serving?
Horatio Nelson.
I don’t know who that is or what that means. The only thing I found on him was Wikipeida saying that “He is widely regarded as one of the greatest naval commanders in history.”
