With Kamala Harris out, Democrats kvetch about all-white candidate base on Dem debate stage
American Thinker ^ | 12/04/2019 | Monica Showalter

Are presidential candidates now to be chosen by affirmative action programming instead of voter will?

Apparently, there are Democrats who think so.  They actually view Kamala Harris's dropping out of the Democratic presidential race as some kind of evidence of racism, apparently among Democrats.  The color blend isn't right now, and the color blend for them is not the biggest thing; it's the only thing.  This isn't a contest to them; this is a narrative.  And that narrative to them is a very simple one: Kamala wins.

According to the New York Post, they're raging about it.

All six Democratic presidential candidates on next month's debate stage will be white after Kamala Harris pulled out of the race Tuesday — a fact that has angered the party's supporters.

Liberal pundits jumped on the issue immediately after the Californian senator bowed out, blaming dwindling campaign funds, saying they felt enraged that two white, male billionaires had bought their way into the 2020 race and sucked the oxygen out of Harris' once-promising campaign.

Former Newark Mayor Cory Booker is still in the race but has failed to make a splash in the polls and is unlikely to qualify for the next Democratic presidential primary debate on Dec. 19.

"It's really f----- up that straight white male billionaires (plural) are going to qualify for the next debate while Kamala Harris is leaving the race. Like, immensely," wrote Adam Nathaniel Peck from the Center for American Progress policy institute.

Who the heck are these boobs talking about, and why the heck weren't they voting for these candidates if identity was their most important criterion?  This is a competition, yet they seem to think this is a racial bean-counting exercise.

Koala heels up Harris was known for her sharp tongue.
Now she can go back to using that tongue to swabbing Willie
Brown’t Knob again.

There is something seriously wrong with this. Worse than anything Beto pulled.

SO WHAT?! Their embrace of identity politics has totally consumed them. And hopefully it will destroy them too.

Can't anyone admit - anyone on their side at least - that Kamala Harris was just a terrible candidate? Unseasoned, thin-skinned, imperious, a political career launched by working on her back and knees for Willie Brown, and totally unprepared to be chief executive. Hell, totally unqualified to be a US Senator. And not even African-American: Jamaican and Indian and raised mostly in Canada.

So, the left is all for democracy, except when the electorate doesn’t chose their preferred candidates.

Booker, Tulsi and Yang have not qualified for the next debate. They have not yet dropped out of the race though.

RE: Booker, Tulsi and Yang have not qualified for the next debate.

Booker, Tulsi and Yang are not going to be the nominee. So, if they drop out as they eventually will, the kvetching about all-white candidates will still be there.

And yeah, I don’t see a lot of kvetching about Hillary attacking Tulsi as a Russian asset.

Here’s an interesting question -— Bloomberg is Jewish. Is he considered “White” or “Semitic”?

Will Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib even want him as candidate?

If the Dims really think this is a problem, why don’t they just ban white male members of their party from running for president?

They need to get over it!

Harris was an anchor baby of two foreign citizens, so not eligible to be Prez anyway.

Mom was an Indian citizen and Dad was a Jamaican with British citizenship, and he doesn’t appear to exhibit any African characteristics.

I also seem to recall that a year or so ago her Dad ripped her publicly for stating her grandmother or great grand in Jamaica was a slave owner.
