Was Kamala correct about racist Democrats not being ready for a black woman?

    Kamelatoe blames others for her own failure to connects as a candidate, so they must be racists... Well, she get's that part right, democrats are the racist party these days. But not perhaps in the way that most of us might view that. They value the segregation even though they refer to is as "diversity", the individual silos of diverse are still distinctly different, and viewed through that lens. Kamelatoe is simply sour because her brand of crazy didn't ignite the general party in the way that the One had....

    The fact that this self serving, sleep up the ladder woman wasn't able to excite the general public seems indicative on how her own elevation into the senate couldn't translate into a national campaign. Not surprising.

    Just curious. How many black senators do the Republicans have in the Senate? How many women? How many Non-white Presidents have they elected?

    While the Democrats don’t have a great track record on inclusion, the Republican record is abysmal.

    It’s beyond pathetic for Republicans to be posting threads on this subject.

    Seriously? There is no awareness that despite of the police and the Left go hand in hand in this nation? It's IS the general perception, and the collective Left has got nobody to point the trembling finger of blame on except for themselves.

    Hahahaha! In the last Republican primary the finishers covered the entire spectrum of ethnicity. Amnesia much?

    Gosh, your historic knowledge isn't then very broad is it... but who cares, you got to air your perception grievance... question for you, which party was the first to elect a black senator? Wasn't democrats, and was elected in 1870... when did the first democrat get elected? 1992? Your sudden amnesia seems to be getting the better of you...

    Guess what? Booker, Tulsi, Yang are still running for President on the Democrat primaries. There are still three women running. So what were you saying again?

    I didn’t ask about historical figures. I asked how many are serving now.

    It is simply about who could win, not race but since democrats are obsessed with racism, everything is racist.

    They are so far back in numbers that the Left should stop playing and simply stamp TOKEN on their foreheads. Nobody's buying that they are anything other than warm bodies and place holders so that the now obviously bigoted, racist, and misogynistic Dem Party leadership can pretend to be inclusive. It's sort of like when the Mainstream Media used to pretend to be politically neutral -- though at least they finally ceased playing that game when they realized that nobody believed them anymore.

    The Dem Party leadership is dreaming of a Rich, Old, White Dem Party Christmas . . . just like the ones that their KKK used to know . . . Enjoy.

    How many non white members of Congress does the Republican Party have? How many non-white Presidents have they elected? Republicans are beyond hypocritical to be talking about this issue.

    She just wasn't a good candidate. All she had were barbs against Trump. That's easy to do.

    Funny. The next better question is why do you suppose it matters at all? Do you still subscribe to the idea that folks aren't all equal, and you have to artificially elevate some to demonstrate how "progressive" you are?

    It seems that you are vastly more interested in advertising the differences than harassing the quality or value of your candidates...

    Sounds more like sour grapes. Candidates will not always resonate with voters. Other than her imbroglio with Sen Biden over busing, she did little to stand out from the others.

    Statistics. It’s just very unlikely in a statistical observation for the Republicans to have so few non-white or female representatives in Congress unless there is an underlying bias against them. Math doesn’t have a political agenda.

    The thread was about a lack of diversity in the Democratic field - not their quality. Just addressing that assertion.

    Yes seriously. Of course we support cops who understand that lethal force is supposed to be used with a potentially lethal threat exists, who do not profile based on race, and do not engage in illegal search and seizure, which leaves us supporting 90% of the police force in this country doing the 90% of legitimate law enforcement activity throughout this country.

    We remain a little skeptical of claims made by cops when someone gets shot who has no gun and there is some witness dispute about the facts, but under those circumstances we should be skeptical. So should investigators. The uniform itself ought not protect anyone when there is a shooting and a death. Not before an internal investigation , not before a judge and not before a jury. The standard in court remains the same reasonable doubt burden that we all face before we lose out liberty, but the standard to keep your badge and gun and walk a beat, need not be. The story needs to make sense and the perception of threat needs to be plausible.

    Bad cops are uncommon but they tend to survive and collect in specific precincts which tolerate ever increasing irregularities over decades. In a well disciplined precinct, the force is just as likely to have nothing but professional officers doing their damnest in the most challenging of circumstances, and that is where the presumption should lie.

    Why does this matter to you? Does your observation then mean that less diversity mean less effective government in some way? Otherwise, why bother with it at all? Do you cry about the lack of minority representation in South Africa these days? Or in Mexico? Or anywhere else on the planet for that matter? Do you begrudge the Chinese from not allowing their ethnic minorities from participating? Or do you only reserve your petty derision for this country?

    Nope.

    I'm simply pointing out that we don't need leftist dogma such as affirmative action, quotas, fake virtue signaling and all the other racial nonsense and victimhood celebration so many liberals/progressives/socialists seem to wallow in.

    An excellent observation.

    Kamala was a mediocre deputy DA in Alameda County in California before she began dating political heavyweight Democrat Willie Brown...

    Hobama had too much DA and kneepad baggage, nothing to do with her tan.

    Actually, most of us on the right don't pay attention to race or gender when we're selecting our candidates. I know this is abhorrent to today's left, to actually evaluate a person as an individual.

    But we listen to their ideas and policy proposals.

    Compare that with the intersectionality and victimhood celebration utilized by many leftists. Where often, the first thing a liberal/progressive/socialist evaluates is the race, gender, sexual orientation or ethnicity of a person.

    I'm pleased that Democratic Party voters actually evaluated Kamala's ideas and policy proposals (or lack thereof) and rejected her, as she is obviously a mediocre intellect who has no business being a leader.

    Yet this only became obvious when a spotlight was shined on her; it reflects badly on Democrats that Kamala was actually considered a frontrunner at one time. But it is obvious she was only considered as such because she checked the right boxes on the leftwing intersectionality form...
