STOP BITCHING ABOUT DIVERSITY! Or at least the perceived lack of diversity in our Democratic candidates. Yes, it could be better, if Kamala Harris and Corey Booker were there, it would show even more diversity, (at least racially). However, look at and consider the following--during the House of Representatives so called debate on impeachment, the republicans were for the most part the same character. White-Male-Upper Class- and usually OLD. (not to mention really fucking stupid) The few that weren't were rare! Contrast with the democrats during the same debate
-- no comparison. Which party more resembles the PEOPLE. Now please recall the painful memory of republican debates early in the 2016 cycle. At times they had as many as eleven on stage if memory recalls. Some women, Bobby Jindal, and that's about it. (may have been more but not much. Now look at Tonight; 7 candidates--2 women, 1 gay man (married, really cool), 1 Jew, 1 racial minority (YANG). Seriously, TOM STEYER and JOE BIDEN would be the only candidates on that stage that could pass for republicans from a gender, sexual orientation, and racial/religious profile. Throw in Biden's compassion, Steyer's passion for our environment as noted by Yang and neither men could ever pass for republican. This so called "lack of diversity" along with blaming early state (iowa) for this problem is bullshit. Iowa gave us OBAMA, yea white bread Iowa, and at this time buttigieg (gay) is LEADING in Iowa! In short, rather than complaing about "lack of diversity", WE SHOULD CELEBRATE THE DIVERSITY WE SHOW, AS WELL AS ACKNOWLEDGING THE NEED TO DO EVEN BETTER! In short when looking for our president, we democrats should not care if the candidate is beautifully black; wonderfully white; or some glorious shade of brown. BOOBS OR BALLS DOESN'T MATTER; BRAINS, BACKBONE, VISION DOES!
