The problem is that dems have relied.on 95% support from blacks and they have a tendency to lose when they don't show up for a candidate, 2016 being a good example.
Black voters didn't come out in the same numbers in Detroit, Philadelphia and Milwaukee as they did in 08 and 12 which is why HRC lost.
Very true. This was an example of people voting for the color of the skin instead of the content of the character.....just the opposite of what another man hoped would happen someday.
Yup, he picked someone who embodies many of the important values of voters in his party, and who can help to generate enthusiasm among Democratic voters. How silly of him.
Something tells me that Harris has a lot of baggage that will be brought out but if the GOP is smart they will do their attacking through Biden and simply pound away on him to see if he crumbles under the pressure.
Very sad that some people would let the color of her skin change their vote.
You mean like Biden ignoring 90%+ of the population to pick a black woman?....without any justification except perhaps pandering to blacks? It seems racism is alive and well in the democratic party......
And here's another possibility. For individuals who vote for Biden merely because he chooses a person of colour might find they all speak well of him until he wins. Immediately after that though they might turn on him and begin siding in with the thought that he's not fit for the job and needs to step down. He should know that any devotion to him might be very short lived. Sad truth is though they might be right....he at least in the year 2020 may not be fit for the job.
Or perhaps he thought she was the best qualified person.
Ahhhh, so Trump announced during the primaries that he WAS going to pick a white male as running mate? Maybe you could provide us a link?.....or is this just more alternative facts?
Where did I say that "Trump announced during the primaries that he WAS going to pick a white male as running mate?" I never said any such thing. Perhaps you should actually read what people write instead of making things up.
Which goes to show you cannot equate Trump picking a white male with Biden stating he WAS going to pick a black female.....
Yeah, primaries were still going on.....you might want to read the news.......
I do believe we should all care that he used discriminatory tactics in order to do it.
She wouldn't have been my first choice--I would have picked Susan Rice. But I do think that she will be an excellent running mate for Biden. Hopefully the Democrats will win. We need to get Trump out of the White House.
