No. My comment was that he was reminded to make sure he used it (or in this case remembered to use it) as a bargaining chip on the campaign trail. That would be a totally correct statement.

He should have done it because it was the right thing to do instead of doing it to win votes by declaring it ahead of time. Just pick a black woman because representation matters. It doesn't need to be said that race/gender are why you're picking a person/from a group of people. It cheapens it in my opinion, which is totally fucking unfair to whichever very deserving woman of color he chooses.

That's flat out ignorant. He decided to do it because it is the right thing to do. It also wins him votes. These two things can exist separate of each other. The fact that it wins him votes to say it out loud doesn't mean that he shouldn't do it for fear that a constant contrarian might question his motives. The fact that a white constant contrarian thinks it cheapens it to say it out loud doesn't mean that it wasn't a necessary and important thing for African American citizens of the US to hear.

No one cares whether it cheapens it for you and people like you or me. It is irrelevant.

He "used" it. That feels really slimy to me.

Of course he "used" it.
Do you feel it's as "slimy" as his opponent "using" things to cater to white supremacists to get votes?

Of course not.

But not sure what that has to do with anything. Like I have said, my bar for presidents is not simply "be better than Trump". That should be a given.

Which makes him dangerous as long as his minions continue to roll over for his mouth breathing base
