Is anyone else tired of the new talking point that it is sexist if you

Is anyone else tired of the new talking point that it is sexist if you like a male candidate over the females? And heaven forbid its a white male! Or oh my God a young white male.

The cries of sexism are starting to get really grating to me.

I'm a 37 year old white woman, am I sexist if E Warren isn't my top choice? Am I racist that Kamala Harris isn't?

Politics is about the campaign. For some people it is policy paper driven, not for others. If that was the case we wouldn't need campaigns, we would just look at their resumes and choose the "most qualified".

I get it if Elizabeth Warren is your first choice. Or Kamala. But denigrating the others and especially calling it sexist that for some voters they aren't automatically at the top of the polls is going to chase off a lot of voters who will be needed later.

sorry for the rant

unbearable, ya just gotta say no-- to guilt trips, foolishness, or whatevah

Instead of policy would be a disaster.

These assholes think they're going to pretend their slander against everyone who didn't fall in line for Obama and Hillary never existed.

What comes around, goes around. These people are the biggest players of identity politics. Someone ALWAYS deserves to be president because they are; black, gay, female, mixed, ‘anything as long as it’s not male and white’, and if you can’t see that it’s because you’re an imbecile who shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

2. Our ticket should reflect the make-up of our party, thus two white males is out...
 
Pair one with a woman and/or POC then we're talking.

This is not the '80s or '90s, it's 2019 and our base has much diversity. If out ticket does not reflect that we risk many voters staying home to show their lack of enthusiasm for a non-inclusive ticket.

We should not even think about doing that. Sexism and a lack of diversity will re-install trump.

Gender, race and sexual orientation prevails over actual qualifications (or lack there of), which is an incredibly racist, sexist and bigoted point of view, and folks like "brush" are too stupid to realize it.

Face it honey. You are now a slave to identity politics. Democrat Fascists have made whites the new Jews.
This is a fate of your own creation.

This is how a free country ends up disappearing into history; idiots voting for candidates based upon exterior appearances over qualifications and third-world voters putting the same type of scum in office that turned their former countries into sewers.

The left hates a meritocracy.  It is now out and they are proud of hating successful people.

55. You know what's really ridiculous?
 
That it's 2019 and we've still never had a female President.

No wait, not ridiculous, ****ing embarrassing.

If you want moderate, then pick Harris.
You want progressive, then pick Warren.

Two candidates are plenty enough for anybody.  Nobody needs 23 different kinds of underarm deodorants and nobody needs more than two presidential candidates to choose from, not while there are hungry children in this country.  Bernie knows.

You don’t necessarily need a choice of 23 underarm spray deodorants or of 18 different pairs of sneakers when children are hungry in this country.
