They probably felt that they couldn’t control Gavin Newsom. Plus he’s a white man. And he’s a heterosexual.
Yes, since the Democrats are all about diversity, a heterosexual, white man can’t have the inside track to the nomination.
We’ll see what happens. But odds are that the 2004 Kerry-Edwards ticket may well be the last Democrat ticket with two heterosexual white men.
But then, both Hillary and Kamala felt compelled to choose heterosexual white men as their running mates. Heck even Obama felt so compelled.
So perhaps the Democrats have a quota system. Perhaps the way they operate, is that they have to have a heterosexual, white man somewhere on the ticket to provide gravitas. But they also feel compelled to celebrate diversity.So that one of the nominees on a presidential ticket must be from a diverse category.
