You sound triggered. Did I hit a nerve? I find it funny you are familiar with the terminology. BTW, JD is a catcher. "my body - my choice" -- Unless it's something I don't like |

Technically she has, because she is considered part of the ticket. However, even if she has not, this is a bad argument, because she was not running to be the Presidential Candidate until Biden dropped. Gandler also never got a single vote in any primary (because I have never run for anything.) The primary (vote) is over, it is now for the DNC to decide the candidate. As for the color of her skin, that is not accurate. That is like a hiring manager who only considers people who have a bachelors degree. You are not selected because you have a bachelors degree, it just helped you meet the minimum qualifications to be considered. Biden wanted a diverse VP, and she was one of many considered based on her attributes, and she was ultimately selected. |

And 81 million of her fellow Americans voted for her to be VP. MAGA sadness accrues... Another white dude who is pissed off that someone who is qualified for the job but not a white dude actually got a job a white dude wanted. Deal with it, pissed off white dude. Dick Cheney never got a vote in a Presidential Primary. . Nether did Gerald Ford. Not did JD Vance. Neither did harry Truman. Neither did Teddy Roosevelt. Neither did Mike Pence before Trump selected him to be a VP candidate. The list goes on. What's your point? |

There is no "ticket" in the primary. Just the main candidate. She has never gotten one vote in a Democrat primary no matter how you twist it.
It is totally accurate. Biden said he wanted a "woman of color." He did not give any other qualifications. Sorry liberals cannot deal with this. They say DEI hires are a good thing until it is pointed out someone was a DEI hire. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

You actually got me there, she got votes in the general election which is more significant. Regardless Biden won the primary (by votes,) and Biden selected Harris as VP and as his replacement. So the logic follows either way. I never said DEI hires are a bad thing, nor am I even debating that she is a DEI hire. She was one of many candidates considered based on the desired attributes at the time, and she was determined to be the best. |

I thought Biden made a mistake by implying he was hiring someone based on skin color. Her qualifications in government service and the justice department were impressive. Compared to JD Vance, she was a far more qualified VP. With his lack of actual qualifications, it appears JD Vance is more of a DEI hire. "my body - my choice" -- Unless it's something I don't like |

Not really. She was just the right DEI attributes. She is a cackling idiot when she talks, reminds men of an ex-wife. Vance has actual experience in the real world, Kamala just hung out in government. I'll take that any day. Nothing DEI about Vance. Unless you do not know what DEI means..... War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

This is true as well, Trump wanted a Midwest White Guy to counter the Biden ticket. The idea that nobody bases choices on basic demographics is silly. Biden was just open about it. |

| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 158 Posts: 5471 | C'mon, y'all... Biden picking Harris was entirely consistent with the "liberal" democratic agenda. They tried to install Hlilary in the White House and failed, so why not try again, with an even more politically correct candidate? Besides, Harris is more qualified for the job than Trump, having been an experienced trial lawyer / DA, state senator, and VP. Before he got lucky Trump's best accomplishment was...what, exactly? B.S. artist? |
