The party constantly lecturing America on the importance of diversity is set to have an all-white debate stage in the upcoming Democratic presidential debate scheduled for Dec. 19th.
"Diversity is a strength!" doesn't seem to be resonating much with the Democratic Party these days. The candidates who currently qualify for the upcoming debate are Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Amy Klobuchar, as well as South Bend Mayor Peter Buttigieg and hedge fund billionaire Tom Steyer.
The best part is watching the Democratic candidates squirm to explain why the process has weeded out any people of color two months before the first caucus takes place in Iowa. On Friday, Joe Biden admitted the current crop of candidates is "not representative of the party" but quickly added that "you can't dictate who is going to be the nominee, who's going to be able to garner votes, who's going to be able to stay in the race."

*Old Rich White Guys
Diversity is a strength.
Embrace the suck, losers.
The Democrats and their thing with image, reminds me of the idiots in high school I knew who were just as concerned with such things.
Love it when Democrats are hoist on the petard of their identity politics fetish.
Sure you can, Joe. You and all the other white candidates simply... step down. When all that's left are Cory and Kamala, your voters will have no choice.
A little blackface. Works in Virginia...
Obvious answer is, like the Virginia governor,
just-—wear-—blackface!
Won’t be a whiteout blizzard of Caucasians up there—at least until the hot lights melt the makeup.
Diversity for thee but not for me. Of course. Democrats are exempt from the rules they apply to others.
You are brilliant (by less than one minute of my post below).
two great minds together again.
What do they mean, no diversity?
Elizabeth Warren: Cherokee (somewhat).
Bernie Sanders: Spiritually a Soviet citizen.
Amy Klobuchar: Insane.
Pete Buttigieg: Gay as the day is long.
In that mix, they have a woman and a gay man. Seems pretty diverse to me. But I guess they are focused on race.
On the Socialist side those who choose whom we get to choose fix it so that we have no choice.
So they’re upset over an all white offering of candidates.
But no one seems in the least concerned that they’re all grossly incompetent. Yep, that’s liberal Logic for you.
I don’t get this.
I thought the concept of “diversity” applied to all besides heterosexual white Judeo/Christian males.
So then, since we have women and a homosexual in the mix, there is great diversity in this field of candidates.
True, there is not the racial/ethnic diversity, but we see gender and sexual orientation diversity loud and clear.
So why is this even being discussed, when there are numerous candidates who are not white heterosexual Judeo/Christian males running???
They’re still all honky.
Yup—all of the white candidates need to join together on the stage, hold hands, denounce their white privilege, and announce they are all withdrawing from the race.
Stop the hypocrisy!
Stop it now!
