Rhetoric vs. track record: Empty rhetoric is driving women and people of color out of the race

Last edited Sun Feb 9, 2020, 12:10 PM - Edit history (1)

It's so sad to see that a completely inexperienced young man with a polished rhetoric and a grumpy old man with good ideas but no track record for realizing any of them as a member of Congress for 30 years should drive experienced and effective women and candidates of color out of the race.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Nor, in relation to Biden, does it even try to be true.

Is that referring to Joe Biden? If so, that is far from true.

but Bernie hasn't been in the senate for 30 years, whereas Joe was in the senate for over 30 years.

are out of the race. That fact alone makes me question the talk about the Democratic "Big Tent"
Party and makes me wonder if I missed the sign that said "Whites Only"...
