I cannot get over this VP process. Republicans keep bringing up DEI, all while Dems can’t pick the best person for the job, because they’re too diverse. Let’s be clear: polls said that Democrat voters favorite VP candidates were Gretchen Whitmer and Pete (22%). Whitmer is a popular governor of a swing state with no Palestine-baggage - and pretty much everyone can agree that Pete is probably the Democrats’ most effective communicator. But neither be seriously considered, because of sad and obvious reasons. All while Fox News goes on about how hard it is to be a straight white dude in politics.

[@OompaLoompaFu]

@@Armani-y9z I'd like to agree with you, and in a sense I do, but hate burns twice as bright. It burns out quickly, but there's no shortage of energy while the movement is alive. Positive energy in a sense needs to be earned, while hate is more like an instinct. One must be cultivate and nurtured, the other rears its head when things go sideways, and they always do. In essence, it's always easier to destroy than create, but products of creativity inspire and make life worth living. How do we get a smart guy like Ben Shapiro that he's an agent of destruction?

What Mr. Buttigieg just said about the de-facto most powerful human on the planet voluntarily setting aside that power really struck me.
