Why Joe Biden Should Pick One of These Two Black Women as His Vice President <OMG>
The Daily Beast ^ | April 9, 2020 | Sophia A. Nelson

In my opinion, as a black woman, Biden’s choice, without question, should be a black woman. Here is why: When Barack Obama secured the nomination for president of the United States of America in 2008, he chose the older, wiser, gray-haired, white male senior senator from Delaware, Joe Biden. Although Biden was not the exciting choice, he was the right choice for the young, black nominee. Obama was going to be the nation’s first black executive. He needed to reassure those nervous about history’s choice, that he would have someone “safe” and known to the public by his side.

Now, Biden needs to send the opposite signal: that it is time for America to trust a woman who represents the backbone of the Democratic Party with the vice presidency, one who is ready on day one, if need be, to serve as president.

Joe Biden now has a chance to buck history’s tide. Two white women have been nominated for vice president, Geraldine Ferraro in 1984 and Sarah Palin in 2008. If I were advising Biden strictly along electoral guidelines, I would tell him the governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer, or Sen. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin would make great choices. They both would likely bring key electoral states that Trump carried in 2016 into his column on Election Day.

But Sen. Kamala Harris, who wouldn’t get him anything electorally, would deliver something Biden must have in 2020: the intense and energized black vote that eluded Hillary Clinton in 2016. She is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. (which is also my sorority and we have a powerful army of more than 300,000 members worldwide to help her raise money and be foot soldiers on the ground). Another strong choice electorally and along color lines is Florida Rep. Val Demings, who served as a House impeachment manager during the Trump impeachment. She too could produce that excitement, and help Biden compete for Florida, a state that Trump can’t afford to lose.

Biden, who has pledged to nominate a woman as his running mate and a black woman as a justice, knows there is no path to the White House for a Democrat without strong black turnout.

He needs a black woman as his running mate. Why? Because black women are the core of the Democratic base, the party’s most loyal voters. And as Harris made clear in her final debate performance this year, the Democratic Party must stop taking black women voters for granted.

Whether it’s Harris or Demings, Biden needs a smart, strong, loyal, and tough sister by his side. It is the Obama 2008 ticket in reverse. Only this time Biden will be at the top, and he has a chance to change history’s trajectory by putting a tested and trusted black woman in his No. 2 slot—thus setting her up for the best shot a woman has ever had of becoming president in either 2024 if Biden does not run again or in 2028 after two terms.

This is going to be very, interesting. A nutjob and an angry, liberal black woman ONLY for the sake of her color, gender, and votes. That is the wrong reason to pick any candidate, but that’s politics!

Biden needs a nag.

He needs someone to remind him constantly of all the things he is forgetting. And someone to complete his sentences for him.

His pick will be required to feed him oatmeal every day at 3:45 P.M. right before Judge Wapner comes on.

And stomp his butt if he gets out of line. Will be VERY interesting to see if he’s as touchy/feely with his running mate as with other women? Black gals don’t put up with that crap. Heck no!

Shiela Jackson Lee or Stacey Abrams would be good choices.

More like 2021 when Biden inevitably steps aside for medical reasons.

But Biden has to win first and even Oprah Winfrey on the ticket is not going to beat Trump.

Stacey Abrams? If the Democrats want to push the narrative that Republicans suppress the vote and all that, she’s their gal.

The Kenyanesian Usurper needs Biden to choose Three Nationality Harris to lend legitimacy to his usurpation.

I wonder which is more important - skin color or body parts.

Below is the perfect Black woman candidate for Slo Joe!:

Congressional Idiot, Low IQ, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), shows how not to wear a surgical mask!

Dr. Sheila says, “When you put your nose outside the mask, it makes sneezing much easier to share your germs and virus with Trump’s Deploreables!
