Say what you will but it’s still better than when it was just automatically another white man. We know Biden and others who say this also pick a diversity of people including whites.


If someone said “I plan to pick a white make” you’d be screaming about it.

CNN fired another leading news reader: Don Lemon.

First Cuomo, now Lemon: open mouth, insert foot, lose job.

FoX fired Carlson.

It's about Biden being racist for 70 years and then trying to pretend (for votes) he's not racist.

Reverse discrimination at it's finest.

I think Cuomo lost his momo when his brother was allegedly involved in the Covid nursing home scandal.

They bash Biden for picking a black woman for VP.

But none of the other 45 out of 46 Presidents who automatically chose a white man for VP deserve any criticism.

A white man picking another white man for the Office is just peachy. It's a wonderful thing.

You miss the point.

The former POTUS candidates simply picked the best available person. They never said "I am going to pick a white person."

Biden outright said that skin color and gender were the basis for his pick.

Meanwhile your side called Trump the racist while your guy just sees skin color.

And learn history. We have only had 45 different presidents. The first ones did not pick their VP.

Really have to go by when we freed the slaves.

Prior to that, it was a bunch of white English signing the Declaration at the risk of getting hung.

They pick the person who will help them win, which is not necessarily the most qualified. So, yes, they don’t play fair when you put someone in there who fits your demographic as opposed to real qualifications.

As usual, Duffman illustrates his lack of understanding how things work.

Hardly ever does “the best available person” get chosen for VP. It all comes down to politics.

The VP pick is ALWAYS someone who ticks some boxes that the presidential nominee doesn’t. Was Pence the best available person in 2016? Hell no! He helped evangelical righties feel more comfortable voting for a heathen as scummy as Donny.
