What went wrong? The hopes were so high for a diverse field of candidates from which to choose. What happened?

The "qualified" candidates who will be on the stage for a Dem debate are all white. To be sure it includes a coupla women but still why does it all boil down to white?

Here's a weird thing though. It seems African Americans prefer Joe Biden to people of color who did not receive enough contributions to continue on. I know you support THE PERSON but is Joe's allure that he was Obama's veep? Is that better than actually being an African American? I dunno. I wanted Kamala Harris. I'm not African American. I adored Obama. But living in California I voted for Kamala for attorney general and also for Senator. She is very smart and I think having a very smart woman in charge would be a deal changer. For the BETTER. Whatever.

How many Republican women will ever run for prez? At least the Dems have the chutzpah to try.

    Maybe people are looking at policies and not race/gender.
