(46,179 posts)Just to be clear, Joe Biden doesn't even twitch the needle on my interest-ometer as far as 2020 goes. The women on your alternative list DO get the needle moving, but they aren't swinging it into the green either...yet.
I'm a white woman, and I might be the only DUer courageous enough to admit, here at DU, that I've actually voted for a black woman for president before. A woman reviled right here at the time. That was some elections back, in the year identity politics shaped the ugly battle between race and gender in the primaries. I lost a great deal of respect for my party at that point, and have never gained it back.
And the politician at the top of my current list, who moves the needle all the way over to "full" in the green, is a black woman. I predict that there will be more haters than lovers right here when I mention her name, because she's NOT establishment, not white, and not male. As I'm sure you can figure out, there is only one white man in the country that I'd be fully supportive of, but I hope for others to step up. Until there are actual people who have declared their intention to run, and in case she does run:
Nina Turner for 2020.
