jross Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 26 minutes ago, uncle bernard said: @jross can you explain why you think Harris is a DEI candidate other than she's black? Kamala was not elected by the people to the VP or to the Presidential nominee position, rather she was chosen by elites based on her identity as a multiracial woman. No matter how qualified (or non qualified) Kamala might be, Biden was clear with his decision to select a colored and/or woman VP. "I commit that I will in fact will pick a woman to be Vice President" https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/15/biden-woman-vice-president-131309 “Whomever I pick, preferably it will be someone who was of color and/or a different gender" https://edition.cnn.com/2019/08/28/politics/joe-biden-potential-vp-pick/index.html He also reflected on what her VP nomination meant for “little Black and brown girls who so often feel overlooked and undervalued in their communities.” He makes no mention of selecting the best candidate based on strength of one's ability, character, ...merit. Kamala did extremely poor in 2020, as stated by her helpers that if she can't run a campaign, she can't run a country. She didn't win a single delegate... https://web.archive.org/web/20191129104131/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/29/us/politics/kamala-harris-2020.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mspart Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) Condalezza Rice would be better than Kamala, Hillary, or Michelle. And no one could accuse her of being a DEI hire. She's as smart and capable as they come. And she proves that by staying out of the public debate. I would not say Kamala is a DEI hire. But she was chosen because she is a WOMAN of COLOR. That is why she was chosen. Her campaign failed miserably in 2020 so you cannot say she was chosen on her merits. Biden wanted a woman of color and he chose a woman of color as inept as she is. mspart Edited August 1 by mspart 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was chosen specifically because he was a conservative, white evangelical and they wanted to shore up that base. Joe Biden would be a DEI hire because he was chosen to be a moderate white VP to settle the fears of the Israel lobby and the credit card industry. This is, by definition, a popularity contest. Your ability to identify with key constituencies is a qualification. We all know you would never call a white man with the exact same resume a "DEI" hire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you don't understand what DEI is and how it works. Why not hire people based purely on their qualifications and not the color of their skin or because of where they were born or who they choose to sleep with?? Are you against that??

Mile Pence was experienced and articulated his policy platform. 1 hour ago, uncle bernard said: Joe Biden would be a DEI hire because he was chosen to be a moderate white VP to settle the fears of the Israel lobby and the credit card industry. what the ef does this even mean? i don't think you know what DEI is despite it being literal. 1 hour ago, uncle bernard said: This is, by definition, a popularity contest. Your ability to identify with key constituencies is a qualification. you're not wrong on this. Kamala was chosen for IDENTITY reasons; not efficacy. IT'S THE ENTIRE POINT! 1 hour ago, uncle bernard said: We all know you would never call a white man with the exact same resume a "DEI" hire. White men are not DEI, you dolt. by definition. Kamala has no platform, no real experience, didn't go thru a primary this time, in a previous primary dropped out after 2 minutes b/c she polled so bad, called biden a racist and then was picked for VP after biden said 'i will be choosing a woman of color'. you don't know what DEI is. 1 TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was chosen specifically because he was a conservative, white evangelical and they wanted to shore up that base. DEI hires are meant to increase diversity with a focus on race, gender, sexual orientation, and underrepresented groups. Pence is a white, cis, straight man that belongs to a well represented group. DEI was not it. Find a video or article where Trump said he would select a White Man for VP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as said in another thread inflation and prices go up just like stairs to a plane and if we can make them go up high enough then the can come back down just like we saw in the markets last two days. Also as said by the great @mspart we should be "unburdened by what has been." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husker_Du Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 biden campaign: "on day 1 i'm going to repeal the trump border policies" people that voted for biden: "it wasn't Biden's fault" biden campaign: "I'm going to select a woman of color" people that voted for biden: "kamala was not a DEI hire" you guys are totally not credible when discussing these topics. you're either dumb or lying to yourselves because these are the facts of the case and they are on record and indisputable.
