You know what a feminist campaign does? Provide childcare for volunteer trainings.

You know what a feminist campaign does? Provide childcare for volunteer trainings. That’s exactly what Kamala’s campaign is doing. I’m phone banking attendees now and childcare is making it possible for some to attend who wouldn’t otherwise. #Kamala2020 #Khive

Since besides being a racist, he is also a misogynist, it would be very nice.

I'm for Ms. Warren, but I have nothing bad to say about Ms. Harris, and this is an excellent gesture.

"Hey, Jared. It's me. Are we in on this child internment action already?"

"Eww. Central American kids. Gross!"

"Yeah, well - if someone's making a killing with those rugrats, it better be me! Get me Munchkin - or whatever the hell his name is!"

...and the campaign office had a corner equipped for child care with toys and floor rug games and so forth.

The idea being, if the parents wanted to phone bank or cross-check voter lists or whatever, the kids had someone to read stories or play games while they did it.

Seemed like a good way to do things, to me.
