Biden gearing up for a diverse cabinet?

[Dominus]

My point was to question how the selection could possibly be diverse when the 50% of the population which is male is excluded. It's a diverse group of women, but it's not diverse.

Oh give me a break. No one was complaining when every team of every part of every organization was all male. But god forbid we have an all female team of anything and now it's the end of the world.

 

[Dominus]

Maybe.

Don't get me wrong. It would be great if we could pull it off in Georgia senate race. But... don't forget we are talking about a deep red state. Biden winning it is a fluke. I normally don't put my money on flukes.

Come off it. Plenty of people have complained about all male teams. Say what you like, but replacing an all male team with an all female one is not diversity.

Oh, so now diversity is important? I personally don't care about diversity. All but 1 of my tenants are white. I don't aim to be diverse. I aim to be fair.

These female professionals have been disenfranchised for generations. It is about time they get more than the usual bullshit rightwinger narrative.

Diversity is not important to the Democratic party, the appearance of it is.

Please. If you want to take pot shots at Democrats, there is plenty of ammunition that doesn't make the left look silly. How about you start with the COVID relief bill, there's enough ammo there to last all of us months and months.

I believe that Biden is in fact a male, as are a bunch of his nominees, so, just fail there. This sounds like a more specific type of whine trying to dress itself up as a diversity complaint.

Perhaps you'd complain less if the Dems were a white penis party?

 

[unloadonme]

Not cabinet positions but the Press Office hires are a pretty diverse bunch. All female. Several have young children.

One selection- Karine Jean Pierre, is the daughter of Haitian immigrants and openly gay. Her partner is CNN anchor Suzanne Malveaux.

Clearly you haven't read post #35 which is the all-female team I was referring to.

There are plenty of valid criticisms, yall just plug your ears when you don’t want to hear it. I’ve talked about the “relief” bill in the COVID thread already. Democrats do not care about the working class or the poor/poverty stricken. Otherwise they would have settled on something with actual relief on it.

They may appear different but they all think the same. Defend the status quo.

It's y'all, and pretending that we haven't heard you then dismissed the silliness, is your way of avoiding the point. The fact is that you just plug your ears when you don't want to hear it.

There are a whole bunch of Democrats who care about people, who care about diversity, so when the far left starts tossing out reductive bullshit about all Democrats this, all Democrats that, it's ignored as the steaming pile that it is. AOC is a Democrat, does she care about people? Is she pushing diversity? Just to start with. You know why Bernie never had a chance? That attitude is why.

We as Progressives get nowhere without everyone else, and that dismissive and false bullshit is just a way to pretend we're all so very superior.

 

[TX-Beau]

Clearly I have, your entire claim is that it can't be diverse without a penis, which just underscores your own bias. That is indeed an extremely diverse group of people.

How novel. Way to prove my point by throwing my words back at me as if it that means anything. What silliness? You asked about the relief bill and I answered about it. Then you are here shooting it down. I addressed your point, but I guess the poor/poverty stricken, the unemployed, the people being evicted aren't good enough arguments for you when it comes to criticizing the Democrats. When they pretend to care about these people and they either do the absolute bare minimum to help these people or do nothing at all. They absolutely could've accepted a bill that would have helped these people out but they didn't and instead decided months later to take a way worse version of it.

Pete Buttigieg is up for a cabinet pick, how diverse of a pick when it comes from a Mayor who gentrified black and latino neighborhoods by knocking down their homes. I am sure that is also not good enough criticism though. Cause nothing ever is. Can't rock that boat.

It should've been clear that when we're talking about the COVID relief bill, which Democrats I was talking about.

PANTS ON FIRE, we weren't talking about the relief bill, I suggested you make your criticisms more specific - because we were talking about reductive bullshit like this:

Diversity is not important to the Democratic party, the appearance of it is.

You stuck with silly, such is life.

Okay.

There won't be a next time, but don't ask something of someone and then tuck your tail between your legs and move goal posts when you get an answer you don't like.

 

[Cormac135]

^ Who did you vote for last time ?

 

[TX-Beau]

Okay.

Running away doesn't change the fact that you tried to move goal posts when you get an answer you don't like. Getting pissy with me doesn't make your arguments any more honest.

 

[ClubLevelVegan]

It’s not running away. It’s your insistence on baiting and childlike behavior that gets old. I don’t come to JUB to interact with children.

You know, that's like the umpteeth time you've stalked off and declared you're no longer speaking to me. I'm beginning to disbelieve you.
