Apparently Biden is now considering two x-cops of color for the VP spot. Seems to me that is like pouring gas on the smoldering BLM fire, and shows neither the Rethuglicans nor the Demwitcrats care about the people.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I think democrats are brilliant, progressive people (like me) and should not be lumped in with Rethuglicans deserving your mockery. That's simplistic BS.

There are a few progressives in congress and the senate, for example Bernie and AOC. However, most take PAC money and are blue Rethuglicans, who take their orders from corporations and right wing billionaires.
@EdEarl Reality dictates Dems play by the same crooked rules as Pubs. They TRIED to put in campaign finance laws but the Thugs in Congress and the Supreme Court did away with them. Don't you know that? Or do you not do Nuance and sophisticated thinking in general?
You want the Dems to fall on their swords in the name of ideologically purity? Go down in flames while shouting, "We we're right! See how principled we are?"
Get off this FALSE EQUIVALENCY! Look at where they stand on the ISSUES! No they are not perfect, but they're not criminally wedded to the Kleptocracy, like the Pubs, either.
GET REAL.
Catchy simplistic BS, Earl.

Possibly, politicians are full of it.
Senator Kamala Harris was not a cop, at least I couldn’t find that she was in her biography. She was a prosecutor, however, which in the George Floyd era could make her a toxic choice, given her record is more of the “tough-on-crime” stuff that makes Biden himself unappealing. Representative Val Demings, otoh, was indeed a cop—chief of police in Orlando, Fla.
I presume those are the two you’re referring to.

Condoleeza?
@AnneWimsey No not her...Susan Rice...what was her title? I can’t keep up sometimes!
What are you talking about? " 2 x-cops of color". What kind of racist remark is that? And why would anyone believe All cops are bad? And why would you not name your source(s)? Oh, wait....FB or Fox?

I don't FB or Fox. Why did you assume I think all cops are bad? Talking about political news; surprised you havent heard, Gabbard removed herself from VP running mate consideration, so Biden can choose a woman of color for the VP spot.
@EdEarl I did not know it was up to Gabbard to nominate herself....since when? And your post obviously shows your bias.....are you walking it back?
@AnneWimsey True, Gabbard cannot nominate herself; I didn't say that she did. Obviously, you inferred that I am biased, but I didn't intend to imply that. I didn't say anything about "all police." My communication skills are meager; what, exactly, about my post misled you.
@EdEarl you posted a rumor (no source given) & used it to state "proves neither [party] cares"..........and you wonder why I question your post???! Then you go on to state "Biden is down to 2 picks", again with No facts.......IMO he has Dozens of picks, including plenty you have never heard of. And again, stating that Tulsi REMOVED HERSELF so that leaves him "free"....wth?
If you are going to state things AS IF they are true, you need to include your sources, and not inject stuff like "what it proves".....
