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.

    Let’s see, you have “both sides”, you have “duopoly”, you have “status quo”, how about a few more? I’ll get you started: “uniparty”.

      The mockery of those who fear the truth! Throw around all the terms you want, but it won’t change the reality that the system is rigged to keep the people oppressed.

      Call it a “uniparty” if that helps you sleep at night—what matters is that I, and many others, see through the charade and fight for real change, not just the illusion of it.

      Keep laughing; the change is coming, and no amount of sarcasm will stop it.
