It used to be the the vice president was the second person in electoral votes
Seriously, are you feeling alright? While we don’t often agree, these bizarre generalizations seem out of character for you to me.The Democratic Party might represent inclusion and compassion on paper... but its supporters don't seem even remotely shy about wearing their hatred on their sleeves.
...almost none of whom are alive today.Well... except for you know, prior to the civil war, and those pesky southern democrats in the 60's.
Every human is related to every other human.Gerald Ford was not related to the Ford Motor Company family, if that's what you mean.Hard to imagine the corporate State we might have now, had two Titans of American Industry (well, their progeny) been elected then. Bu now we'd be the United States Of AmazonX.keeping Rockefeller probably would have helped Ford squeeze a victory over Carter.
So where is my Rockefeller inheritance?Every human is related to every other human.Gerald Ford was not related to the Ford Motor Company family, if that's what you mean.Hard to imagine the corporate State we might have now, had two Titans of American Industry (well, their progeny) been elected then.

The democrats of the day. Remember Lincoln?Well... except for you know, prior to the civil war, and those pesky southern democrats in the 60's. But you know, they've totally been 100% on board with diversity and inclusion of other groups at any point in time where they weren't actively opposing them.Democrats have been pleading for equitability, embracing diversity and trying to include marginalized groups for flippin ever.
Soon every human will be a direct descendent of not only Genghis Khan, but also Willie Nelson and Keith Richards.Every human is related to every other human.Gerald Ford was not related to the Ford Motor Company family, if that's what you mean.Hard to imagine the corporate State we might have now, had two Titans of American Industry (well, their progeny) been elected then.

Tamil Nadu is at the south end of India, with Sri Lanka next to it.Harris's maternal ancestry comes from Tamil Nadu, India. Her paternal ancestry comes from Saint Ann, Jamaica. She is married to American entertainment attorney and law professor Douglas Emhoff.

Shyamala Gopalan was the mother of Kamala Harris. She was an Indian biologist and civil rights activist from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Shyamala was born on April 7, 1938, to P. V. Gopalan and his wife, Rajam. Gopalan's family belongs to the Brahmin caste. Gopalan was from Thulasenthirapuram and Rajam was from Painganadu – agrarian villages located very close to each other, near Mannargudi, in the erstwhile Tanjore District.
...
Donald J. Harris is the father of Kamala Harris. He is a Jamaican-American economist and professor emeritus at Stanford University, originally from Saint Ann's Bay, Jamaica. Of Afro-Jamaican descent, Harris was born on August 23, 1938, to Beryl Christie Harris (née Finegan)[23][24] and Oscar Joseph Harris. He grew up in the Orange Hill area of Saint Ann Parish, near Brown's Town.
Research has shown that the present-day population on the Indian subcontinent derives its ancestry from at least three components identified with pre-Indo-Iranian agriculturalists once inhabiting the Iranian plateau, pastoralists originating from the Pontic-Caspian steppe and ancient hunter-gatherer related to the Andamanese Islanders.
... In this study, we focus on Dravidian linguistic groups to propose a fourth putative source which may have branched out from the basal Middle Eastern component that gave rise to the Iranian plateau farmer related ancestry.
... We suggest that this source, which we shall call ‘Proto-Dravidian’ ancestry, emerged around the dawn of the Indus Valley civilisation. This ancestry is distinct from all other sources described so far, and its plausible origin not later than 4,400 years ago on the region between the Iranian plateau and the Indus valley supports a Dravidian heartland before the arrival of Indo-European languages on the Indian subcontinent. Admixture analysis shows that this Proto-Dravidian ancestry is still carried by most modern inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent other than the tribal populations.
Of course there is. CNN, MCNBC on cable TV. Newspapers like NY Times.The idea that there is a “left” mainstream media is yet another utter absurdity believed by Trumpkins.
The problem is that Biden vowed to only consider black women for the position as part of his corrupt bargain with Clyburn, who delivered South Carolina to him in the primaries.First black woman named to SCOTUS and people still get their panties in a bunch over it.
Why is it "perfectly ok" to exclude people based on race and gender? Especially since he had the same racist and sexist limitation on the SCOTUS justice he appointed.I could be wrong, but I believe he did limit it to black women. And that was perfectly OK.
No, she wasn't. I mean some people may have talked about her, but she never had any chance of getting picked even before the George Floyd insurrection and the desire by the Democratic Party to appease the insurrectionists. She was simply too old - there is no way a 77 year old presidential candidate would pick a 71 year old running mate.Elizabeth Warren was on the short list to the very end.
And Goodhair only considered black women (it's a trend in the contemporary Democratic Party it seems) even though they comprise only ~2.7% of the population of the state.I'll reiterate a point I had made after Diane Feinstein's death and Laphonza Butler was temporarily appointed to substitute her.
The issue of qualifications always comes up, for any appointment.The issue of qualifications only comes up when the person is a minority and then it's "they're not qualified!!!111!"
The "have a beer with" is a shorthand for likability, not "anti-intellectualism". Although W was quite dumb, admittedly.Take a look at George W Bush and remember it was all about anti-intellectualism and how the right despised "intellectual elites" of which they portrayed Gore and W was the guy you'd like to drink a beer with and maybe snort some coke with off of a hooker's back.
KH is running for president, JDV for vice president - why are you comparing them?So, yeah, of course, Kamala Harris was more qualified than J.D. Vance...just like QOP accusations are their confessions.
Differences in global admixture were observed, with Barbados having the highest level of West African ancestry (89.6%± 2.0) and the lowest levels of European (10.2%± 2.2) and Native American ancestry (0.2%± 2.0), while Jamaica possessed the highest levels of European (12.4%± 3.5) and Native American ancestry (3.2%± 3.1). St. Thomas, USVI had ancestry levels quite similar to African Americans in continental U.S. (86.8%± 2.2 West African, 10.6%± 2.3 European, and 2.6%± 2.1 Native American). Significant substructure was observed in the islands of Jamaica and St. Thomas but not Barbados (K=1), indicating that differences in population substructure exist across these three Caribbean islands.
The African ethnicity of New World slaves was highly significant for the transmission of African social, cultural and religious beliefs and practices. This study employs the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis of present-day Jamaicans in order to assess the ethnic origins of their enslaved female ancestors (males, including white overseers and masters, do not contribute to mtDNA). The evidence suggests that the Gold Coast was the largest single source of Jamaican slaves who arrived, remained and survived in Jamaica. While this finding fits with some historical evidence, it refines the data contained within the Voyages: Transatlantic Slave Trade Database, which indicates that the Bight of Biafra provided the most enslaved Africans to Jamaica.
I am with Kamala and not with Usha on that one for sure.And maybe you thought this was enough, it's gets better, or worse. She is a vegan.
Only to a right-winger.Of course there is. CNN, MCNBC on cable TV. Newspapers like NY Times.The idea that there is a “left” mainstream media is yet another utter absurdity believed by Trumpkins.
What did you expect them to do?Just look at the kid glove treatment they have been giving Kamala Harris ever since Biden's announcement.
Only somebody on the far left would deny that these outlets are left of center.Only to a right-winger.
Not act like campaign staffers.What did you expect them to do?
Best to always act like Fox News, always "fair and balanced."Only somebody on the far left would deny that these outlets are left of center.Only to a right-winger.
