I for one want Kamala Harris as president and will work very hard for that up until I no longer can if that happens.
At no time however will I say it has to be a man, or it has to be a woman, or it has to be a POC, or it has to be a young person. That attitude helps the KGB and rump and the GOP, not us.
I guess i have to add THE TITLE IS NOT SERIOUS, IT IS MEANT TO SHOW what is WRONG with DEMANDING a woman or POC...
sheesh
i.e. I want ANY democrat NO MATTER WHAT, and if I had my choice, yes it would be Kamala...
That we should NOT demand it be a woman or a POC or any category. That this is KGB inspired division.

AT this time I think there are very FEW who hold this position, but there will be more after the KGB gets thru with us.

(16,162 posts)On Facebook and Twitter etc. You can see it coming from a mile away. We got a preview from Vann Jones this past weekend. Not that Vann is a Putinite, but that kind of media coverage is what Putin would want, not unlike the breathless wall to wall coverage of Hillarys made up email
Scandal aided Russias efforts in 2016. Its the kind of wedge thats easy to play off of for bots etc.
Eliot Rosewater
(31,097 posts)what we are bothered by and then play to that.
Worked beautifully in 2016...If we would all analyze what actually happened in full in 2016, we would be able to see most of this coming.
Hillary still won, but they managed to get a sick, twisted piece of shit close enough to steal.

(16,162 posts)In an interview with Gillibrand. Asked (some might say, suggested) if it was a problem for Dems moving forward.
Eliot Rosewater
(31,097 posts)There will be more, by the way.
They wont ONLY have the male vs female, POC vs white, there will also of course be far left vs left.
BannonsLiver
(16,162 posts)And based on some of the OPs and responses in threads Ive seen lately, there is a lot of fertile ground for Putin and its not even 2019 yet, let alone 2020.
Eliot Rosewater
(31,097 posts)It is just the beginning which is scary.
My requirements are simple. Has to be a democrat, has to release tax returns for 5-7 years, not sure how many. Other than that, nothing other than no indicted people I guess.

(13,386 posts)The same goes for an ORourke/Harris ticket. The two of them should work out the tickets and campaign through the primary season together.

(2,531 posts)specifically Joy Reid's panel on Saturday and Chris Matthews' panel last night. Look for the segment with Jason Johnson. They're saying that if a POC or a woman isn't on the ticket it will (not might), depress turnout. I'm also seeing it among some very prominent twitter users that many here on DU may be familiar with.
If you look up and down this thread you even see it.

(53,795 posts)I was worried about the KGB. What with them not existing for the past 26 years, you never know what they're gonna do next.
Squinch
(50,773 posts)In the general, of course I'll vote for the Democrat.
I think the 51% of the population who has never been represented in 250 years should be represented.
So sue me.
mcar
(42,210 posts)all things being equal, I want a woman or POC. I will gladly support the Democratic nominee, whoever she or he may be.

(31,097 posts)POC...wow, remarkable.
I had to edit it, lets see if this continues...sigh

(12,448 posts)On Rachel last night she highlighted this "campaign" that said men should stay home for the midterms so women could win. Stupid, yes, but look at the targets. I wish I could find a clip, but it was on last night's (12/17) show.
Bottom line: I'll work for whomever I think is best in the primary, and work for the Democratic nominee in the general, whoever that will be. (I haven't picked anyone yet for the primary, and probably won't until people actually declare their candidacy.)

(38,359 posts)Lysistrata is a play about women running things. I've been in discussions about this before. Let them give it a try, hell...maybe they will stop all wars. Could they do worse then the men? We already know that Hillary would be so much better than Drump, but let's give the women a chance to run everything..

(2,212 posts)People should back their person in the primary, say why they like them and why we should too- not make demands or tear down others for their sex or race.
When the primary is over, we vote for the nominee - period.
