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?

Not a man.
A woman.
And not a white woman.
A black or Hispanic woman.
And, not a Christian black or Hispanic woman.
More like a Muslim black woman.
That’s where the democrats are now.
And, not just a Muslim black woman; she needs to be a socialist or communist.
And, must hate America.

We never had a Aboriginal transsexual Jewish midget as President before. Why not? We must be racist or something.

Well, 43 out of 44 presidents have been white men, and we have done okay. All the Democrat nominees but two have been white men. Why change now?

Ms. Neal, a dental hygienist, made an agonized face at Mr. Johnson, her boyfriend.I wonder if Mr. Johnson made an agonized face at Ms. Neal when she castrated him.

Would
The New York Times publish such a thing about any other race?
I mean, when Ben Carson announced his presidential run, all I saw was conservatives happy about it, not saying "ugh, what's this black man doing running in our party?!" the way "progressives" openly do with Biden, Sanders, Buttigieg, etc. all throughout social media.

What will happen to the Democrat Party when they chase away the remaining White people?
