Biden sole criteris for VP -black woman

[BartenderElite]

Choice? Did Biden have a choice? "pick a black woman" under threat of losing the black vote is hardly a "choice'

VP choice always has some sort of demographic, regional or other electoral strategy.

Welcome to America.

But regardless, she's intelligent, competent, experienced & tough. She brings a formidable quality to the ticket, and balances Joe's weaknesses.

None of the conservative reaction on this board surprises me. This board can be as racist & misoginistic as anyplace on the internet.

candidates fpr POTUS pick a VP for a variety of "balance" - including but not forced demographics as a pick.
Biden never had a choice - his hand was fated.

"Weakness is not a good thing for a POTUS.
You can't balance weakness -you can only shore it up.

criticizing a choice is "misoginistic"/ The same junk we heard about Hillary

LOL

Have you SEEN the comments from conservatives on this board?

You have no credibility w/ that comment. There have been a few dozen comments tonight alone totally denigrating her for strictly being female. Some really vile stuff, too.

Nice blinders.

Here’s where I would differ with you. (Unless there’s some information out there refuting this that I’m unaware of) Biden wasn’t forced to say he was going to pick a woman, he choose too. He could have selected a woman without making that proclamation up front. Now he was clearly pandering by saying he was only going to pick a woman but this is politics and pandering is what politicians do and voters have the final say about what level of pandering they’ll accept.

wake up from your moderate tendencies and look.
!00 Black Men sent a letter just today saying Biden Had to choose a black woman or lose black votes.

How is this a choice?

You do get the rigid adherence to racial and sexual quotas - either comply of be cancelled/protested

I was commenting about the conservative reaction on this board. So, you shouldn't have responded if you didn't want to talk about other posters.

you deflected a reply from my post to one about other poster.
I called you out on posting argumentum to me -not a reply

The poster categorized Biden as "weakness" How do you 'balance' out weakness?

That's tapdancing.

I replied to you, and then added that the conservative reaction here - which has been largely misoginistic - didn't surprise me.

You chose to address that. Your choice. And man, were you wrong - because the conservative reaction here has been exactly that.

You are assuming he made his choice based on those 100 black men's opinions TODAY?? Not the months he has been going over & over it?? lol

That would be nuts, & prob the reason you are attempting to paint that picture...

I would think on the larger scale aka the entire country, what 100 men think or 1,000 men think is merely one small part of a much, much larger picture........

no I didn't claim the letter was the sole factor. But it surely was illustrative of Dem ID politics
If you have been paying attention to Biden himself he has talked himself >squeeze boxed< himself into Harris

I don’t see it as having anything to do with being moderate, conservative or liberal. This is all a big game being played to get the most votes.

Biden had a choice. He could easily say “what are going to do if I don’t pick a black woman, vote for Trump”? 100 people making a request isn’t going to determine his selection. He had to weigh the risk of how other potential voters would react as well to him picking Harris.

If she’s a bad pick that’s good news for Trump right?

we were talking black woman demographic - not ideology

the point is the dem party has rigid requirements for demographics.
It wasn't just "100 men" it was what they represent - Dem Thought. Media hype.

Put it this way: if someone other then a black woman was picked -can you imagine the shrieking?
It was baked in

No you did not say it was the sole reason, you said 100 black men said, how is that choice......

That is just the opinion of 100 men, just as I said..

Long before they said anything he had already said what he would do..... No one forced him to do it, @ least that I know of?? You have your secret sources you wanna say who did??

Ya'll are on a rampage, I'm here to help........

More than 100 Black male leaders, including activists, preachers, rappers and celebrities, in an open letter Monday called on Joe Biden to pick a Black woman as his running mate, saying that if he does not, he will lose the election.

the letter was created in solidarity with an April letter signed by more than 700 black women leaders – including pastors, doctors, lawyers and celebrities –
calling on Biden to "recognize and seize this moment" by picking a black woman as his running mate.
