isn't that why running mates are usually chosen quite (relatively) late in the process? to see where a candidate is weakest so they can pick a running mate who makes up for those weaknesses?Spiritual_Chaos said:
What if there are several options that would help with that though?HughFreakingDillon said:as someone else stated previously, the right person for VP is the right person for POTUS to get elected. nothing more.
As in, it's not being a case like this:

What a dumb dumb dumb article. Breaking up google and amazon and student loan forgiveness is good policy? Most thoughtful policy solutions of the 21st century? Give me a break. It’s not that we are sexist, they are just really stupid ideas.PJ_Soul said:Here's an opinion piece that pretty well matches my own.The only thing wrong with Elizabeth Warren’s campaign is the sexist way we react to it

You know I'm not accusing you specifically of being sexist, right?? I'm making a much wider point than that. But as I already said, I really don't expect any of you to get where I'm coming from with this. That doesn't change how deeply I feel it's 100% true that America is absolutely really sexist in its politics (and that that is being reflected in this dem race perfectly well), and I think anyone denying it is being willfully ignorant IMHO.mcgruff10 said:

But, I don't think that's the (sole) reason why Gilibrand and that woman who ate her sallad with a comb is lagging behind in the polls.

you have now said it twice that you "don't expect any of (us)" to get where you are coming from, but have not stated exactly what you mean by that. spell it out for me.PJ_Soul said:

You think men aren't capable of understanding sexism?PJ_Soul said:mcgruff10 said:
Which women are bringing more to the table than let’s say Biden and Bernie?PJ_Soul said:
That everyone is pretty much completely focused on the men as all the front runners, despite the fact that there are women who actually bring more to the table. The males just automatically floated to the top.Spiritual_Chaos said:
What do you mean? What do the polls show in that context?PJ_Soul said:
HA!! Yeah, against a guy who said grab her by the pussy???? That does say a LOT about how people feel about voting for a female POTUS: that they aren't willing to. I think it is the height of naivety to think that Trump winning didn't have something to do with sexism. To me that is crazy talk. Pure denial. YES, America is too sexist to elect a female, and the polls compared to the quality of the dem candidates right now help prove it.my2hands said:
Bullshit... America is too sexist for a woman Potus? Typical horseshit broad stereotyping of Americans on the AMT...PJ_Soul said:
The point is that there is no way in hell that they can't find "the right person" in a woman, considering how underrepresented women are by government (and considering that a woman has never held either of the two spots in the history of the nation), combined with the number of amazing women there are to choose from. There is no way in hell that a male running mate would be best over a great woman. Well, the right person for POTUS is a woman too, but America is still too sexist for that probably.F Me In The Brain said:Why?
I'm all for the P or VP being the right person, regardless of gender...but why would a male P need to choose a female running mate?
You forgot a woman just got 3 million more votes than her opponent in a national election?
Guess what, we aslo voted for a black man, twice!
Did you think Sarah Palin was a good vp choice?Warren is bringing more than anyone, period. And Harris is bringing more than Biden. And both of them are bringing more than Beto and Buttigieg. Yet all 4 are topping the polls.And that is a really really really really dumb question. Obviously not. I am not someone who just think any idiot is better just because she's female.FWIW, I don't expect a single one of you men to believe or even really understand what I'm saying on this matter, lol.
Yeah, ok, i'm done here, not much to discuss0 -

You don’t expect me to understand yet I voted for two female candidates in the past two years and they both lost. I think you are being the ignorant one here.PJ_Soul said:

The point being...? I imagine you've voted for men in the past that have lost, too.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -
Spiritual_Chaos said:What did you all think of Bidens announcement video?
Haven't watched it, just listened to parts on the radio. Too much stirring music, too much same old, same old, though I assume it has to be that way.
Most of what I dislike about the candidates is what appears to be necessary to have any chance at winning.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -

Do we have to point out that there's a whole lot more to not being sexist than voting for women twice?my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -
