It's puzzling as to why more haven't figured this out yet. ^
Ive never said (1) and I dont believe (2). BUt in any case, (1) is not sexist and (2) is not racist. Check your definitions.
Im not focusing on the superficial. Biden was. Get your facts straight.
What do I stand for?? Im not the topic of this thread. If you want to start a thread where I am the topic, go for it.
What the hell do you even stand for anymore, Fletch?? Tell me, because I'd like to know. Is it small government? Because that went out the window when Clinton left office. Is it law and order? Uh-huh... tell that to Barr & Co. Law and order *LOL* What a ****ing joke. We can see pretty clearly what "Trump Justice" means every time he springs a scumbag like Arpaio, Stone and Flynn.
If I am reading Fletch right, and I think I am … He is saying that it's both sexist and racial to pick a women based on her gender and her color. When will the Democrats get past their need to use identity politics? When will they simply stop picking people by race and gender, or complaining about others whiteness and maleness, and simply pick the most qualified?

I think that's only an issue if he picks someone that is obviously unqualified for the job, Trixie. You can say a lot of things about Kamala Harris.... but I think it's pretty clear she has the brains, talent, ability and experience to do the job. Disagree with her politics all you want - that's fair game. But let's not pretend she isn't qualified for the job.
Strange when you consider Trump’s cabinet, which has little to do with most qualified. Anyway, I propose a trade, liberals will stop complaining about whiteness and maleness (Biden complains about himself?) when Trump stops complaining about non-white people and femaleness.
What makes her qualified for the job and Pence not qualified?
Take your time while answering.
Trump was not elected in a vacuum. Lincoln Project type Repubs are largely the reason for Trump.
I think Pence is absolutely qualified. I disagree with a lot of his politics, but I don't disagree with his qualifications whatsoever.
I think the biggest reason is actually due to how radical the left has become. How anyone to the right of Chairman Mao is considered a Nazi and have been attacked with all kinds of vitriol.
OK.
Kamala is qualified if you like flip-flopping politicians who'd say anything one day, and change their minds the next to further their careers. And that is precisely why I say she is not qualified. She implied her future boss is a racist and a sexual predator, and then turned around and took it all back.
She's even worse than Hillary...
CLINTON: ... I told people that it would be impossible to be fact-checking Donald all the time. I’d never get to talk about anything I want to do and how we’re going to really make lives better for people.
So, once again, go to HillaryClinton.com. We have literally Trump — you can fact check him in real time. Last time at the first debate, we had millions of people fact checking, so I expect we’ll have millions more fact checking, because, you know, it is — it’s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country.
TRUMP: Because you’d be in jail.
hang on.
i thought Biden was gonna pick Hillary or Michelle and one of them was gonna take over. that's what Facebook, Twitter and FW:FW:FW:FW: has been saying for months.
If either major party was a party of character, we wouldn't have been given a choice between Trump and Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Some of think the same of trump and Pence. Many Presidents pick VP's that scare those that hate them as they might be replaced by someone less like themselves, trump could not have picked someone less like himself.
Kamala will be a liability. Biden is a total empty shell. Worst candidates ever.
Kamala was at the bottom in the primaries. She was soundly rejected. The DNC machine has other ideas. If Biden wins, he will step aside in time, Kamala takes over as president. A new type of election gerrymandering.
It's about policy. The man is the delivery vehicle. Biden is a total loss and their policy is abysmal.
And yet Joe Biden got the nomination and he's about as centrist as they come. Go figure.
Um, what?
You haven't noticed his insults of minorities, his lies about refugees, his comments about "****hole" countries, his "nasty women" comments, his false info on black crime, his "she's not my type" response when accused of sexual assault? You gotta get out more.
That's where I think you're wrong. I think this election is mostly about Trump and his childish antics of throwing temper tantrums and calling others names. His schoolyard bullying tactics. More about his obnoxcious persona and his very unpresidential behavior. So much so, at least among those who are non-affiliated, less to non-partisan, swing voters, the group most folks call independents. That policy and what Trump has done or hasn't done as president is taking a back seat to quite a lot of them.
to these folks, who opposed Trump really makes little difference. I think you found that out in the midterms when there was no Hillary to save Trump and the GOP. Independents who in 2016 went to Trump 46-42 over Hillary with 12% voting third party, against both. In 2018 the voted Democratic by a 54-42 margin over the Republican congressional candidates. It isn't so much that Trump and the Republicans dropped from 46 down to 42%. It's the rise from 42% to 54% among independents voting Democratic. Then again, perhaps that shouldn't have been a surprise. 42% of independents voted for Hillary, then add the 12% who voted against both Hillary and Trump, you come up with 54%. Coincidence? Perhaps?
Now Trump's antics and his very unpresidential behavior along with his shall I say uncouth personality has had 4 years to grate on these folks. No, I don't think this election is policy driven as a battle of personalities. Perhaps childish in like a spoiled brat vs. an adult. Maybe? Time will tell.
After all, to many swing voters, the presidential election is nothing more than a beauty contest. Independents don't pay much attention at all to the day to day grind going on in Washington or even politics in general. It becomes a choice of who they like the best or dislike the least as back in 2016. Their perceptions of the candidates. Maybe even who they are tired of the most. Another difference is in 2016 Hillary Clinton was more or less the incumbent. The establishment, the status quo as she campaigned as being a third Obama term. This time around Trump is the incumbent, the establishment, the status quo. The one folks will decide to kept or let go. Biden is kind of irrelevant.
