It's Not About Race or Gender but

When my wife suggested the improbable ticket of Biden/Sanders my immediate thought was that there has to be a woman or a black on the ticket. Thoughts?

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

I just want the person best equipped to beat Trump. All of our candidates are on the side of diversity and social justice, so we are good.
