We guess the Democrats are trying to show how Kamala Harris was just a regular girl who somehow climbed the ladders of power despite centuries of institutional racism.
The Democrats (@TheDemocrats) ~ When she was a student, @KamalaHarris used to work at McDonald’s. She understands that working people deserve livable wages and a safe work environment.

Two things about livable wages. First, no one is expected to buy a house and raise a family working part-time at McDonald's. Second, California now forces fast food joints (except Panera) to pay $20-an-hour minimum. That seems like a pretty high wage for an entry-level job requiring no skills and no experience.
Yeah, and as Californians are quickly discovering, "livable wages" in the California fast-food sector is rapidly becoming NO wages.
Back to Kamala-ala-Bimbo's McDonald's career - must've been when she first learned how to get ahead ... as Ronald McDonald's special assistant.
This training served her well in procuring favors from politicos, later on.
The Harris campaign also has a new spot out, and Brian Stelter noted that Harris worked at McDonald's, which was "yet another biographical contrast to Trump."
Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) ~ Kamala Harris "worked at McDonald's while she got her degree." I bet this is new info to the vast majority of Americans. And yet another biographical contrast to Trump.
Medium Buying (@MediumBuying) ~ And the Harris campaign is also up with this spot --

Fusilli Spock (@awstar11) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} So, you’re just a campaign spokesman, now?
Ah, Tater is gonna Tater, don'tcha know!
Fusilli Spock (@awstar11) ~ JD Vance joined the Marines and saw combat. But, McDonald’s is pretty tough, too, I guess.
Jason Rantz on KTTH Radio (@jasonrantz) ~ When JD Vance worked his way out of poverty to go to Yale, he was deemed by Tim Walz as not a real hillbilly. Kamala Harris, who went to prestigious schools and came from a well-to-do family, worked briefly at McDonalds, so she’s heroic. See how this works?
ericontrarian (@eriContrarian) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} She's collected a government paycheck since. Never created a thing.
Yet another biographical contrast to Trump.
Chuck (@SilverBulletLLC) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} No one thinks she is working class, asshat. Good for her, but she ain't working class.
Dronetek Media (@TheDronetek) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} Is the Harris campaign paying you?
Indirectly, yes ... yes they are.
Andrew Tavani (@andrewtavani) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} I think the nuance here is that Harris no longer cares (if she ever did) about that particular economic class, which she was briefly a part of, and Trump, who was never a part of it, actually does care. The question then is: how many voters can recognize this nuance?
Informed Sceptic (@Rob_AtoZ) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} That's cool. She was able to earn spending/party money for herself. She took care of her. Donald Trump manages an empire that takes care of thousands. Important biographical contrast.
Sunburner (@SunburnerDeFi) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} Her only private sector job was McDonald’s?
Jonny Offenmad (@Offenmad) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} If she can't fix the ice cream machine, how can she fix the economy?
EagleEye (@USEagleEye) ~ {Replying to @brianstelter} None of these ads excuse or explain her failed last 3.5 years.
We know it's still the honeymoon period, but Harris does have a three-and-a-half-year record as vice president, and we'd like to hear some journalists ask about that. She's on the campaign trail promising to do what Joe Biden promised to do, which was left over from what Barack Obama promised to do.
