In reply to the discussion: Cuomo needs to be Biden's VP pick! [View all]The Magistrate
(96,043 posts)Honestly, it about makes me weep, waking up each morning to the disregard and disrespect a mature white man faces in this country. It's just awful. Why, I think I'd give a million bucks to be a black woman. They get all the breaks!
Please just realize what you sound like. It is ridiculous. The man gave his word he would choose a woman. That doesn't mean anyone who thinks he should keep his word thinks Sarah Palin is better than Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Lincoln, and suggesting anyone thinks it does only makes you look like an idiot at best and at worst like some 'men's rights' type whose mask is slipping. Your position contains the unspoken premise that there's sure to be some white man out there who is better for the job than any woman, and Mr. Biden better find him before he saddles the ticket with somebody who lacks a penis, just for some silly thing like being a man who delivers on a pledge.
"From Bernies perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they dont want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."
"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
