22. i like Kamala but the only criteria if we changed horses

should be electability.

I'm not commenting on her electability here in relation to others, just that "she deserves it" and she's a woman BIPOC should be beside the point. This isn't about rewarding one individual however deserving. We all deserve a democracy and the people on Trump's hit list deserve to live.

If we break a glass ceiling and lose, we still lose. If we don't break a glass ceiling and win, I see a very deep bench of outstanding people of color and/or women coming up the ranks for future presidential runs. None of these will have a chance if Trump wins now.

Many of the potential candidates I've heard mentioned for now tend to break one glass ceiling or another, it just shouldn't be the reason to choose them. Choosing an overwhelmingly popular governor from a swing state is a viable criteria because, electability.

Kamala deserves a shot, she just shouldn't be appointed summarily without giving convention delegates an opportunity to consider all the options. We got into this mess from not considering all options, and wanting to be nice to a guy we liked.
