Yeah that makes sense, what annoys me is that it gives Dems the ability to advertise "look, the first black X" as much as they do, which is a bit annoying but obviously the fash pipeline aspect of it is more serious, so I'll stop
You have a good point though, Dems always go with the 'presentable' version. Like Buttigieg for example, you wouldn't know he's gay unless he told you.
Yeah, Democrats would be mortified if they ended up with someone like Nina Turner, the 'angry black woman.'
It's gotta be the button-down milquetoast proper sort of minority.
Yeah if a DNC brand kind of politician could realisically be labelled as of a currently marketable marginalised group, they will be. For example I don't think Arabs are included here yet, but maybe that's because of Ilhan Omar? And you'd never see Palestinian or Kurdish and noone cares that Kamala has a parent from India
