It was so apparent that it was going to be a white man for VP. God forbid we have female candidates for both POTUS and VPOTUS. For two centuries we had no other choice besides white men, but the crack in the glass ceiling is only big enough for one woman. Two POC candidates? Also a no-no.
I am totally a female chauvinist. Just think if Hillary Clinton had chosen Elizabeth Warren for VP instead of that lame Tim whats-his-name. Elizabeth would have fought tooth and nail, protecting Hillary from a lot of the crap that got thrown at her.
So given the white man lottery was what we had to deal with I actually didn't make a choice. From my heart I would have chosen Pete Buttigieg, though I thought Chasten and the kids would be miserable in the white house. Also, even though he is the straightest gay man in the history of the world, who can make a case for liberal politics to the most conservative people imaginable, I thought religious prejudice might make people vote against him. I want democrats to get elected no matter what. Also, I didn't want any sitting senators to be chosen because I thought it might eliminate the Democratic Senate majority. I'm fine with Tim Walz. He has good politics.
Smooches,
Keri
