He's not picking a guy

he should pick the best person for the job. This is one time the VP will really matter.

I like Deval, but Biden is on record as saying he’ll pick a woman. If he doesn’t, he’ll alienate a lot of women.

Picking a Woman over a less qualified Man is discrimination. Can’t have it both ways

I assume you meant over a *more* qualified man. I’m appalled by your assumption that there are no well-qualified women.

Yes, meant more qualified, typed too fast, meant to say picking a less qualified Woman, just because she’s a woman. I never said there are no well qualified women.

You’re right. You just implied that there were no qualified women even though these 80 pages have named SEVERAL.

What’s that canard? When you’ve been privileged, equality (or the movement toward) feels like oppression. You’re SO oppressed that we’re talking about women for the Oval. I know. Women are soooooo overrepresented everywhere and so unqualified.

And if that’s not what you were implying, take some time to yourself to wonder why you sound like a trolling misogynist.

Well, he should have thrown his hat in the ring earlier. Too late now.

? I keep hearing Stacy Abrams mentioned around here. She never "threw her hat in the ring." Since when is that a pre-requisite? (It might even be a negative, e.g., Kamala Harris (she would have been better off not throwing her hat in the ring)).

I like her and hope we hear more about her. Good balance of legislative and executive experience, WOC. Not as much executive experience, but I also like Duckworth. Whitmer has emerged as a star, has a great balance of gravitas and likability. Good communicator.

Pointing out that choosing a Woman over a Man, only because she is a a Woman ,is discrimination is not saying no women are qualified. It’s the textbook definition.

If you have 2 qualified people, and you make the decision on race or gender, it’s against the law. How is that implying no women are qualified?

Stop playing a victim, and you’ll probably be happier in life.

The point is moot. Biden said he would pick a woman. Too late to back down on that now.

But that’s not what you said. You said, “Picking a Woman over a less qualified Man is discrimination. Can’t have it both ways.” Only you made the assumption that Biden is picking is picking a less qualified woman.

And cry me a river of your victim’s tears if women are actually getting looked at. Maybe after 45 female presidents and a few thousand years of women being treated as full participants in the world you might have a point. But boo hoo, you delicate victim. They picked the entirely unqualified man over the sensible, qualified woman last time. And look where it’s gotten us.

So.... Warren.

Because she’s been making rumbles about wanting to be VP. Believe it or not, she’ll come up in the thread for that reason.

Read 2 posts later where I admitted I mis typed, and did not mean less qualified man. There’s no edit button here

She and Kamala are 20 years too late. They are the minority minority. Latinos are the future

He should pick a woman who has taken a strong stand against sexual abuse and rape.

So Kamala, Liz, Amy, Gretchen...

I’m not looking up the source surveys for this so maybe the methodology is terrible:

And this co-authorship of this op-ed is highly suggestive to me that it’s Warren: https://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/article242350451.html

Biden is not going to be a president. If you meant his running mate, I think he is going to pick a safe one. Probably Warren or Harris. In the end, it won’t matter at all.
