Diversity Equality Fairness

The Democrat Party has positioned themselves as the champions of diversity, equality for all and fairness in life. It is likely the greatest con ever committed. Despite all of their pronouncements in support of the 'little people' of whichever demographic group they are pandering to at the moment, it never seems to really get better. And when it comes time to put up or shut up, well...

The Democrats put forth a slate of candidates to be their party's nominee for President that is the most diverse in our history. I don't think there was a victim class they claim to represent that was left out. Yes, I'm lumping Mayor Pete in with the rest of the LGBQT which is probably bigoted and I'm assuming that we have to count Elizabeth as a Native American. Point is, diversity was represented in the group.

Now that we have seen Klobuchar, Mayor Pete, and Elizabeth drop out under pressure and with promises of 'riches' to come for their 'cooperation', what are the Democrats left with? Two old rich white men with racist and misogynistic pasts to lead the party of inclusion. Aren't they the guys the Democrats blame for all of the woes in America?

But where are the Democrat policies that we simple citizens have to deal with on a daily basis? We are constantly told that minorities do not have an equal chance to succeed in this country, so we must make accommodations to level the playing field. Even if the minority candidate is not as qualified as others, they must be given the chance since they are oppressed.

Why weren't the minorities in the Democrat field given delegates? Wouldn't it have been fair to give Booker 200 delegates as soon as he entered the race? He is discriminated against after all and will have a tough time raising money or connecting with white voters in fly over country. It has to be because of his race, not his message. Similarly all of the other candidates that are not rich old white men should have been given a proportionate share of the total delegates just for entering the race.

But as usual, the politicians don't practice what they preach or force us to do, because they say they are not the racist bigots, we are. The fact that their rank and file didn't support the minority candidates just proves to the party and media elite that all of us regular citizens are bigots, it has nothing to do with the policies supported by their candidates.
