[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Biden is not a choice for me - he is a great guy -funny, pragmatic and probably liked by a lot of Whites...but has major optics flaws that would be exploited by GOP. He is also very old. I want younger people in decision making roles... especially women, POC (and possibly non-evangelical). Our decision making class is far too White Old Men heavy to make sane policies for all.[/quote]

Isn't the fact that he's "probably liked by a lot of Whites" a critical element needed to win the general election? What is wrong with "White Old Men" as long as they are making good decisions?[/quote]

In my experience, White Old Men (WOM) have not made right policies for everyone. They have made policies and compromises that benefits White Old Men. They are more autocratic, selfish and narcissistic. So, if I have choice between a generic WOM and someone else, the other one wins a brownie point...of course I will scrutinize their policies before voting. But as a nation, it is my firm belief that, we need to move away from electing the WOM to progress as a nation where EVERYONE's "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" is weighed equally.[/quote]

But the title of this thread is "Which Dem can win general election in 2020?", not "Which Dem do you want to win the general election in 2020?"

I don't care if the candidate is white, if the candidate is old, or if the candidate is a man. I want the Democratic candidate most likely to defeat Trump.[/quote]

And my argument is Biden has serious baggage to do that. I am not saying that I would not vote for Biden if he is the Democratic candidate. I love Biden - but I would prefer a different winnable candidate.[/quote]
