If you read my response you would see that I was saying, even though it may be an important position, SCOTUS is not a part of the ticket. Pres. Obama put two lovely women on the SCOTUS and one is a Latina. I wouldn't expect less from Biden. I applaud his commitment to put a black female on the bench. However that position will not be seen as equivalent. Especially, since it is not yet an opened position.
I don't get my cue from DU. I listen to my community. I am not reflecting my personal viewpoint as I have stated. I speak about the knowledge I've gathered through communication. Does it reflect the larger society? May be or may be not. However, people are free the vote and not to vote (however unfortunate that may be). I have heard multiple people expressing that the black community saved the Biden campaign and if he chooses a running mate outside the community, it will be a slap in the face. I don't necessarily agree but I believe he should choose a POC. An all white ticket would send a bad message. I will vote no matter who Biden chooses. Although I would prefer he pick a Hispanic female.
People are motivated by different things, such is life. I will not lecture a person who would feel slighted/used. Sometimes instead of being judgmental of people's motivation, we should try to emphasize. I can understand the essence of the minority community because I am one.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
Warren or Klobucher True Blue American Mar 2020 #1

I can't blame Jill for her feelings surrounding that debate episode. She's human and, as First Lady, Skya Rhen Mar 2020 #10
