He has said his appointees were “straight out of central casting” dozens of times.
And last night he referred to checking out a candidate’s ass. A male candidate.
Good luck whatabouting that one, brain-deaders.
a George O'Leary situation coming soon.
representative of a race and gender that has been too long discriminated against...on the other...we have a President whose #1 criteria is simply "Appearance"...that's it.
Would be great if you allowed people to identify as Americans, and not as black, but that is not what you do.
to spot Discrimination and all the senseless harm it creates...and so too do many Republicans and Independents. Unfortunately, we have to deal with those who, for whatever reason are highly self-centered and are loath to share with others who are not like them.
As we've seen throughout our own history...and that of the world around us...discrimination is counterproductive to society in general, and as a result, Democrats and others of like mind rise to the challenge and take action to remedy that ill.
Sorry to see you don't care to join in...really sorry.
The only other option is that race determines qualities other than appearance, and he picked based on those qualities. Why don't you tell us what other qualities you think are determined by race? If you can't, then we are back to the original point, that Biden appoints based on how people look.
Presidential campaign...and he followed through.
Do you see now that he and Joe Biden had similar motivations...i.e. it wasn't simply "Appearance"...
Start putting some 'Intellectual Weight' on, Ned...
Note that Biden's initial decision was to have a woman V.P., thus adding a step upward toward women breaking the U.S. 'Political Glass Ceiling'...and to the best of my knowledge, that woman did not need to be a Trump sponsored Beauty Pageant winner.

AI Overview
Joe Biden committed to picking a woman as his vice-presidential running mate during the March 15, 2020 Democratic primary debate, but he did not initially restrict that pledge specifically to a Black woman. Instead, he vowed to select a woman and to ensure his administration and cabinet reflected the diversity of the country.
• The Original Vow: Biden stated during the March 2020 debate that he would pick a woman as his vice president and pledged to appoint a Black woman to the Supreme Court.
• The Shortlist: By July 2020, Biden confirmed that multiple Black women were on his official shortlist for vice president, though he declined to guarantee that the final pick would be a Black woman.
• Pressure from the Party: Calls for him to choose a Black woman intensified from Black voters, lawmakers, and activists (such as House Whip Jim Clyburn and various civil rights groups) who argued that Black women formed the most loyal base of the Democratic Party and were vital to winning the general election.
• The Selection: Biden ultimately selected Kamala Harris, a Black and South Asian American woman, as his running mate in August 2020.

Hopefully, enough Americans in the future will not be so misogynistic as to avoid voting for a woman as President. The odds of the GOP offering such a candidate are extremely low.
