Kamala dropout precipitates crisis moment for Democrats

This leaves only only two POCs on stage. Tulsi who is hated (unfairly) by the party, and Yang, who (unfairly) won't be considered a true POC by some because he's Asian.

The upshot: there are no AAs left in the race at this point.

Bullshit.

OP = Tulsi

We sadly have to agree with Leah Greenberg. This is devastating. Absolutely devasting.

by Anonymousreply 3December 3, 2019 6:48 PM

Also, the tweet itself is bullshit. If your insistence on diversity loses elections to the GOP THEN you're doing something deeply damaging to democracy.

Lol at the “upshot.”

Cunt.

How an asian is not a POC?

Blacks are around the 20% of the population, but so are latinos, and there's no pearl clutching about not having latinos on the race

Cory Booker, asshole.

Sounds like someone's predicting the rumors re Corey Booker dropping out are true.

Yes Concern Troll, the Democrats are ONLY running against the MOST CORRUPT president in U.S. history. I see your point. Be gone.

R7 I was going to say, isn't Cory Booker still in the race? It may not seem that way from the lack of coverage he's gotten, but he's technically still in the race, albeit with no shot in hell of getting the nomination.

R12 No, he hasn't.

Booker is a non-entity and his dropping out is only a matter of days now, if not minutes.

Cory + Castro

I will all but guarantee you the Leah Greenberg grew up on the UES or in Scarsdale or Short Hills or Beverly Hills.

It still hasn't happened yet, so there is NO moment of crisis the OP diagnosed yet.

When it happens, THEN you and OP can get back to us.

Castro is out, YMF.

Wrong.

Google indicates he is down but not out R22-- did he officially drop out?

And I was right about Leah Greenberg-- Chevy Chase, MD, which is just Scarsdale-by-the-Potomac.

How is that a crisis? Neither Kamala, Gabbard, or Yang has or ever had a chance in hell at getting the nomination. It's just the normal culling of the lesser candidates.

by Anonymousreply 28December 3, 2019 7:02 PM

Troll thread. The Democratic Party is err, just *little more* than some poseur teen wokester on social media.

Blacks make up 13% of the population, and many of those who are voting age don't vote.

R30, Black people have a higher voter turnout than Hispanics and Asians.

Just shut the hell up.

[quote]No matter your candidate, you have to recognize that going from the most diverse field ever in January to a potentially all-white debate stage in December is catastrophic.

No, we really don't have to recognize it as it is not "catastrophic" if it means cheeto is not re-elected.

The reality is that twitter outrage does not necessarily translate into votes.

[quote]The implicit racism and sexism of "electability" is deeply damaging to democracy.

Flawed logic. Race and sex either do or don't matter. You cannot say that they matter in one breath (when discussing "diversity" of candidates), then say they don't matter in another (when discussing whether that candidate is electable).

An outlet for people whose parents didn't pay enough attention to them.

It represents an unimportant (if vocal) slice of the electorate.

R36, if forced diversity hands incredibly important national offices to the the Republicans then fuck yes! I'm going to bitch to high heaven about it. Defeating the Russian led GOP is the only thing that matters.

by Anonymousreply 52December 4, 2019 3:11 AM

I think the whole Benetton ad-look of the candidates was deliberate, to show voters that the Democrats are the party of minorities. Of course most of them knew they didn't have a chance in hell. But they showed-up for the group photo.

No one is forcing you to support a certain candidate
