Also, I did not call you or anyone in particular a racist.

And that is applicable to EVERYONE equally, with no regard given to their so-called "race," because of course that would be racist.

Please do not take offense. Just make sure that you are not one from this point forward. It would please me greatly if we could all just put this kind of thinking behind us once and for all.
Disliking Trump supporters for their, what I feel are very misguided political persuasions, is not racist. Just as I can choose to like or dislike any particular person for any reason, that has nothing (for me) to do with the color of their skin. I feel you have no right to determine what the term “racist” means. It is not your prerogative.

But that is not the same as racist. Maybe you should try to expand your vocabulary.
Anyone who makes blanket racist (and ageist) statements about "old white men [are all evil]" (DEMOCRATS) are filled with hatred/racism, period.

No ifs ands or buts about it.

New polls out today and Joe Biden is still leading in all of them.

CBS: IA: Biden + 5 | NH: Biden +7 | SC: Biden +22 | CA: Biden +1 | TX: Biden +10

I am another extreme left-winger who tolerate disagreement rather well.

I think Pelosi and Schumer need to rally their party to get behind Biden and support him for the nomination otherwise it's going to be a joke of an election and Trump will get another 4 years.

We need a 2 party system. Biden is their best hope.

It's going to be a joke anyway. Even if it's Biden the VP choice will be one of the screaming meemies.

Biden’s VP choice will decide if he wins the election or not. It’s highly likely he dies in office so that VP pick will matter to many voters. It needs to be a woman with some sort of experience and probably not any of those other major candidates. It has to be someone slightly more left than he is but not to the degree of a Warren or Harris

Yeah but all the energy and the passion is on the radical militant far left of the party. Also, these people do not tolerate dissent. Anyone who does not enthusiastically agree with them on any particular issue will be attacked and destroyed. It is who they are. It is what they do.

I don’t remember any “also ran” types ever chosen for VP on either side.

Pelosi will decide all of this crap, since the old guard will pass this election cycle and 2024 looms large.
