The same as anyone. It is a myth to consider races or ethnicities to be homogenous in the first place, but I can see (quite literally) that Obama is black through a few means - my eyes being one of them. No such evidence appears for Warren. But if you follow your matrilineal ancestry claim you spout bullshit about then Obama is quite simply white. Not mixed, not black but just simply white.
Personally I can't stand Harris. And her behavior as a prosecutor and AG here in California are the main reasons why (I pretty much ignored her in the Senate. Because A) I already didn't like her and B) as pointed out she didn't really do anything substantive). It should be noted that it was also all absolutely ordinary for anyone who rose in politics along the prosecutorial track (see Klobuchar) which is why I pretty much hate that entire path in US politics and the politicians who followed it. I'll still vote for her because the other choice is Trump. At least Harris hasn't been busy perverting the criminal process to get away with her OWN crime-spree.
Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"
Black is a colour, white is a colour. His mother is white, but the colour of Barack Obama is not white. Since you claimed insanely that ethnicity comes from the mother alone then is Obama white like his mother? Yes or no?
Or is ethnicity maybe more complex than simply the mother?

I was inferring to problems with the Electoral College and gerrymandered districts....so that even "liberals" can be persuaded that their vote doesn't matter.
I live in one of the most Republican (cowboy) districts in the state. That's why this idiot keeps getting elected here. I do what I can but I'm out voted. I could move a few blocks north and be in a different district.
Faith is Hope (see Loki's sig for details)
If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?
What's your point? I also live in a Republican (cowboy) district that's considered part of a Democrat leaning state.
edit: I could move a few miles south and be voting in Maryland. But that wouldn't change my vote for POTUS. I'd rather have an imperfect candidate like Biden, than vote for a fascist like Trump.
PA isn't as big as CA, and we don't have as many electoral college votes, but we still matter in the big picture.

Even my libertarian-leaning son (remember those Ron Paul Revolution debates we had years ago?) knows that NOT voting for Biden means voting FOR Trump, by default. He doesn't like Biden or Harris. But he's seen the destruction Trumpism has caused, and doesn't want to see another 4 years of racist, sexist, classist fascism, either.
When the covid pandemic hit, he reminded me that Libertarians traditionally drew the line about government power at infectious diseases. Seeing how Republicans have dealt with this health crisis made it clear that they didn't really care about liberty or freeeeedom, but political power. Fascists are good at exploiting our two party political system.
Short of re-hashing the history of Saint Reagan, the Republican Party, the onset of the Tea Party, or the Ron Paul Libertarian 'revolution'....I am hopeful that a majority of voters have been liberated from the *propaganda* that has dominated our elections for decades, but can still see how their vote matters.
