"We're spiraling towards a debate stage that potentially- we're still fighting to get on it, but could have six people with no diversity whatsoever," Booker said during an interview on MSNBC. "The way this is shaping up, especially with the rules of the DNC, it is preferencing millionaires and billionaires and a lot of other things that don't ever translate into viability in Iowa."
Liberal activists decried the potential "catastrophic" all-white debate stage amid the fallout of Harris' withdrawal, some calling it "sickening" and blaming the "implicit racism and sexism of 'electability.'"
At this point, we have 7 Democrats qualified for the December debate stage and they are all white. This is sickening.— Jim Kessler (@ThirdWayKessler) December 3, 2019
No matter your candidate, you have to recognize that going from the most diverse field ever in January to a potentially all-white debate stage in December is catastrophic.
The implicit racism and sexism of "electability" is deeply damaging to democracy.— Leah Greenberg (@Leahgreenb) December 3, 2019
If Kamala Harris is dropping out today, as is being reported, that means--among other things--that no candidates of color are yet slated for the December debate. Six white candidates have qualified. Folks, that's a huge red flag, and we need to talk about it.— Charlotte Clymer🏳️🌈 (@cmclymer) December 3, 2019

The governor of Virginia solved this problem years ago!
And the heck of that is that it wouldn’t change their luck or their chances one iota. LoL
Yep, just draw straws to see who will show up in blackface.
So, maybe the R’s get a bye?
Did they forget about Gory Booger?
He hasn’t qualified for the next debate yet.
they just grab another boomerang to throw out there.....
They never learn ..
Looks like democrats are racists and sexists... otherwise she’d still be in the race.../s
The Democratic party is infested with racists. All these people care about is skin color!
Blackface!
But the Demonicrats still have plenty of lying murdering traitors running for the nomination.
Wonder if they think they'd do better with an affirmative action candidate?
Do they not realize they are asking Democrats to exercise bias or bigotry to choose their candidate?!
That is today's Democratic party?
And what if they let Spartacus and Cream Pie onto the stage? The choice will still be a white person since these two have already failed and cannot unfail just because they were affirmative action additions.
Maybe Spartacus could try Whiteface? Does he think he’d be any more acceptable and successful?
Orange is a color and he’s running again. Oh wait...
Color/race has zip to do with the fact this batch of socialist libtards are ‘catastrophic’.
For some reason, even the Rats aren’t into putting another non-white racist in the White House. Wonder why? Is this where the radicals start calling for Michelle O to jump in?
Heard she will not jump in because she likes her lifestyle right now and doesn’t want the Obamas don’t want their Netflix deal investigated. So that ship has sailed.
. . we're still fighting to get on it, but could have six people with no diversity whatsoever,
Of course, he's right.
But in the wrong way.
The Democrats have arrived at that plateau of groupthink where not one of the surviving candidates for president challenges the progressive/socialist mindset that has dominated what passes for debate in their futile attempt to stake out positions the American electorate might agree with.
Playing the oppressed minority card, as they have done previously, will help ensure a Trump landslide next November.
