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.

      Is that supposed to be some sort of “gotcha”? It’s public and I have never hidden it. I came across some interesting articles, that community has pretty much one poster, and I posted 3 articles that I thought they’d find interesting.

      I also posted science articles to the science community too! And have posted in the privacy community! OMG! Look! I post to other communities!!

      I’ve never hidden that fact. The articles were interesting. So not sure what your point is.

      If I had some sort of agenda, I’d post more articles in a more conservative and active sub.

      In fact, they actually tried to point me to a more active sub and suggested I post. Which I declined to do. And your screenshot actually shows that interaction.

      If I were secretly a conservative on some sort of mission of being some super awesome conservative hero, wouldn’t I have jumped at a chance to share the content with more active conservative people? Especially people who would give me way more upvotes?! lol

      And just this morning I shared a libertarian article to this sub, and libertarians actually are supposed to take votes AWAY from the GOP.

      And if I were conservative, would I really have started a Socialist community and put over 300 posts and comments in it?! https://lemmy.world/c/socialist

      Do you realize how much MAGA hates socialism and socialists?! lol The hate us even more than Democrats do. lol

      So you’ll have to keep trying if you wanna force some narrative for me. :)

          Good catch! It was 10. Out of 743 posts. And posted in one day. I can read and post whatever I want, whenever I want. I have never hidden the fact. If I was scared, I could have deleted them. Someone asked me to send to a more active conservative community and I declined.

          The articles were interesting. I stand by everything I have said.

          Wanna list the socialist articles? and the science articles? And the education articles? Do those next.

          Let me help: https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

          And I’m still voting socialist, and not for your candidate. And not for Trump. So what next?
