Do you agree with Biden guaranteeing a woman VP just because they're a woman?



Biden guaranteeing he'll pick a woman just because they're a woman leaves a bad taste in my mouth. How about yours? Do you think the most "qualified" person should be chosen, regardless of gender, or are you happy with Biden announcing no one else can be chosen because they are not a woman?

If qualifications were the most important part of winning an election Trump wouldn't be President.

What's not genuine? That's what's happening. He said he'll pick a woman VP. Clearly that's erasing half~ of other qualified candidates on the basis of their gender alone.

You cool with that or no? Don't be shy.

That's why I put qualifications in parenthesis. Biden is announcing that you have to be a woman to be his VP. Are you okay with that? Sounds inherently discriminatory to me.

It's a political move and nothing more. He knows he's not that great of a candidate himself so he wants to appeal to feminists i guess. Like they needed convincing to vote against trump.

Affirmative action is important, yes.

I dont agree with that. Normally i would say always pick the better qualified but in politics I do understand using such things for strategic reasons in a election.

How is it discriminatory if he thinks a woman VP is his best chance of an election win? What other qualifications matter in your opinion?

VP picks are strategic decisions to try and bring around the bases that might not like the presidential candidate. Its not based on qualifications....

Still WTF was with McCain and Palin. Pretty sure that wasnt his choice. Made him lose easily.

Do you think it's a coincidence Trump picked a religious VP or do you think he was the most qualified?

At the time Pence was considered a controversial pick for Trump because everyone hated Pence.

People underestimated Trump's base and how few Democrats would vote.

He may not have said it.

But he only picked Palin because she had tits.

Micheal Palin would have been a better VP and he's not even American.

Biden is just as bad.

It was just a basic-ass appeal. If the best candidate is a woman, go ahead, but the point of how and why he did it was such obvious pandering.

And god, I hate using that word. Feels nasty and conservatrolly just to say it.

It's one thing to ultimately make a choice on someone, versus coming out directly and saying "I only chose you because you're a woman".

It should be a wake up call where Dem's priorities are. "Yes, that's right! We are good so I will pick a woman and only a woman!"

Jesus christ. It's ridiculous.

so you're still not answering the question. You're attacking the user/messanger.

Which is again, classic liberalfaqs. "I don't like the user so I won't take his/her/it's question seriously". And instead resort to some ad hominem remark

Pence is like the adult in the room. People mainly werent voting for Trump they were voting against Hillary. As we know, the DNC is brain dead so theyre like that worked great in 2016... lets go ahead and piss off swing state moderates again! Theyll have to vote for us!

So you don't care that they universally do it. Just that they're talking publicly about it.

You haven't clarified what qualifications you're expecting either.

It's weird how you can see this so plainly for the case that isn't your party, but that's basically how Trump maintains popularity. Bullshitting the DACA kids, telling his especially at-risk states that they should open soon, it's all always been pandering. Why does pandering bother you now?

I agree. Pandering at the utmost highest level. Eliminating half of all people solely on the basis of gender. Not on the basis of qualifications, experience, relativity--- anything --- no, the first qualification is that you have to be female.

It's a huge red flag on Dem priorities and values.
