COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa As Peter Johnson and Emily Neal waited for Senator Kirsten Gillibrand to arrive at Barleys, a brick-lined sports bar in southwestern Iowa, they gamed out possible nominees in the Democratic presidential primary. Mr. Johnson, a 27-year-old law student, said the large field was a great equalizer, and if at the end of it we get an old white guy, someone who represents the status quo, itll be because theyve proven themselves. Ms. Neal, a dental hygienist, made an agonized face at Mr. Johnson, her boyfriend. Wouldnt something be lost, she asked, if the historically diverse slate of 2020 Democrats was passed over?

Mr. Herndon with his NOI bowtie, and Mr. Flegenheimer with soy-boy moptop and effeminate grin.

Of course. Pete is the ticket. His gayness neutralizes his whiteness and male persona. A black-Indian woman with a white Jewish husband complements the ticket. I can see it now at the Dem convention with Pete at the piano and Kamala sitting on top of it singing an Edith Piaf song, La Vie En Rose. Their husbands will join them walking hand in hand. The crowd and MSM go wild as the The Internationale is then played led by Bernie and AOC to show a united party.

A mixed race transgender bisexual lesbian homosexual seems like the logical democrat choice.

No, according to the Democrat presidential calendar, it must be a resident of El Salvador.

...and naturally, if you don’t vote for them, you’re a racist and a homophobe.

What kind of racist question is that?
Democrats should choose the best man/woman/white/colored/green person for the job

Buttigieg is beyond queer, and Biden is a pedophile, so that should excuse their being white for the dhimmicrats.

Not sure why they include Butterfingers in their list of white men. Maybe a typo?

If this becomes a real question during the Democratic primary any answer is a win for Trump.
It's not race that democrats discriminate against is culture. When the Klan was the militant arm of the Democrat party they didn't discriminate based on race it was culture. As about 30% of the Klan victims where white republicans.
Today it's no different. The "Drinking fountain" was a place to socialize which is why some cultures where not allowed near it. Today they call it "safe spaces" which has exactly the same affect.
