I have nothing against the idea of a woman being picked as the VP candidate but I feel like committing to it makes it more transparent that you did it for 'points' than because they were the best option. But that just leads into my issues with identity politics in general I mean, I'm all for representation, myself. I think the Democratic ticket ought to look like the Democratic Party, but in Biden's case it's nothing but naked political calculus. I mean, he literally floated Stacey Abrams for VP last summer, and would anyone actually buy that him and Kopmala are BFFs now? It's identity as a substitute for policy. And Klob would make even his token gesture to the left even more obviously empty, so she's out. <cite>ElatedVenusaur posted [p:935731066] in Democratic...
