In my opinion, as a black woman, Bidens choice, without question, should be a black woman. Here is why: When Barack Obama secured the nomination for president of the United States of America in 2008, he chose the older, wiser, gray-haired, white male senior senator from Delaware, Joe Biden. Although Biden was not the exciting choice, he was the right choice for the young, black nominee. Obama was going to be the nations first black executive. He needed to reassure those nervous about historys choice, that he would have someone safe and known to the public by his side. Now, Biden needs to send the opposite signal: that it is time for America to trust a woman who represents the backbone of the Democratic Party with the vice presidency, one who is ready on day one, if need be, to serve as president.

The entire history of America starts with white men of power owning everything, including slaves, running the government, owning the wealth, and calling all the shots. Then once that power was finally shared in the late 1860s after slavery, it was shared first with black men. Followed by white women, then finally, black women and women of color. It started with the 15th Amendment, approved by Congress on Feb. 26, 1869, and ratified Feb. 3, 1870, granting black men the right to vote. Not black women. And not white women. The first blacks elected to Congress, during Reconstruction, were all men, of course. It was not until 1920 that white women got the right to vote, with the first white woman elected to the House of Representatives in 1916 and to the U.S. Senate in 1922. Biden, who has pledged to nominate a woman as his running mate and a black woman as a justice, knows there is no path to the White House for a Democrat without strong black turnout. He needs a black woman as his running mate. Why? Because black women are the core of the Democratic base, the partys most loyal voters. And as Harris made clear in her final debate performance this year, the Democratic Party must stop taking black women voters for granted. Whether its Harris or Demings, Biden needs a smart, strong, loyal, and tough sister by his side. It is the Obama 2008 ticket in reverse.

But then he picks Kamala Harris and everyone gets mad at him anyway.

---

It probably would be his best move, tbh.

I eagerly await the porn parody.

Oprah?

I want whatever is the safest pick and will gain more voters than lose. Hes already a risky candidate in his deteriorating state, dont risk any more.

---

Why does he have to pick someone? What if theres a white woman more qualified, or a white male? Are Hispanic people out of the equation?

---

it might work if there's someone to choose from

Dude already put himself into a box. He said he'd pick a female for VP, for whatever reason. Not that a female can't be VP, but if I were running, I'd want the best person that would give me the best chance. \_()_/

I bet he picks Hillary. And then seals the Trump 2020 campaign.

why not bernie sanders?
