Person is some sort of SJW writer/blogger.
She is saying Biden will lose the election [by not turning out the black vote] if he fails to pick a black individual with a cervix for VP.
But how will that play in swing states, especially with the much loathed—yet, much needed white working class? The latter group is more concerned with jobs and the economy than with racial and gender considerations.
It’s not that they *care* about whether Joe picks a black individual with a cervix—except when it’s done *because* of race.
They tend to perceive that as racist. Biden is damned it does and damned if he doesn’t. Maybe that’s why he’s taking so long.
How long will Joe keep us waiting?

He will be fine if he picks a smart woman with law enforcement and or government experience.
Joe is doing a good job building anticipation.
Generally VP makes little difference as long as voters can visualize her taking over if necessary. Palin hurt McCain but that’s the only time I’ve seen it matter much.

At the end of the day the goal is to win the election and anyone running for President is taking that into account when picking a VP. Biden could have just picked a woman VP and been done with it. But he made the determination that it was beneficial to his campaign to announce he would only a pick a woman.
I'm guessing if men were included people like Cory Booker and Julian Castro would have made his list of potential candidates. From an identity politics perspective where do white women rank compared to black or hispanic males? I don't know. But it's definitely possible he faces a backlash if he picks a Warren, Whitmer or Duckworth.
Good see that Darth is not only a racist, but a misogynist to boot. We shouldn't be surprised.
"RACISM" and "SEXISM" DEFINED BY THE BIDEN VP SWEEPSTAKES....SKIN COLOR AND GENDER THE PRIMARY QUALIFICATIONS....
TRUMP WILL TAKE FORTY STATES...UNLESS THE SAME IDIOTS WHO BROUGHT US THE 2020 DUNCE-O-CRAT IOWA CLUSTERFUCK CONTINUE THEIR SEDITIOUS ACTIVITIES...THEN HE WILL WIN EVEN MORE ..UNLESS THE RED CHINESE AND DNC COLLUDE, USE A PANDEMIC, AND THEN THE DEMOCRATS VIOLATE ARTICLE II OF THE CONSTITUTION, TO FACILLITATE MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL, UNVETTED, MAIL IN BALLOTS IN THE DARK OF NIGHT..

True story, a good friend on another message board was a big McCain guy. Back in the day, we actually had respectful disagreements with members of the opposite party. The day that Palin was picked, he was going on vacation, but said he would have his comments when he got back. When he came back, he announced he was voting for Obama. Clearly his dissatisfaction with far right factions had been building, but Palin put him over the edge. He said there was no way he could vote for someone if it meant that Palin might become President. That's how badly the Palin pick backfired. I guarantee he was not alone.

This is a very unique time and racial issues are always at the forefront but especially so now. We saw what happened to Hillary Clinton when younger minority voters didn't turn out for her like they did Obama. Thus the call from some leaders in the black community for the pick to be a black woman.
At the end of day we'll see what happens. I'm not making any proclamations. But I do follow/read enough black and progressive writers to know it's important to a decent number of them that the selection be a black woman.
