If you ask me, I’m upset no one picked up that this consideration was sexist and racist, although it is indeed the best choice for her to win, which reflects how bad US can’t get over race and gender.

    Yes because a black woman needs a white man to “balance” the fact… :)

    America is a very strange country.

      I’m not saying it’s good (because it’s not) but I’m unfortunately pretty certain they’re correct.

      It’s politics. People literally make a living polling people about shit like this. It may not be right or even correct.

      But it’s just where America is right now.

      It’s progress. A little at a time.

      You shouldn’t eliminate someone just because they are a 60 year old white guy. He has an extensive track record of getting progressive policies passed with a 1 vote majority. By your logic, no one should be touting Bernie who is just as white and older.

      He’s not even a boomer, he’s gen x.

      i mean, yeah, if you’re trying to balance representation, why wouldn’t you pick a white VP pick as a black candidate. Considering that probably 70% of the US population is white, it seems like a reasonable choice to me.

      i’m not sure what the intention of your comment is here, but i’m a little conflicted about it. Maybe i’m missing something.
