Beto?
Otherwise empty suit full of white male privilege.
Mayor Pete?
Not sufficiently committed to the AOC/Bernie agenda, too moderate, and he fired a black police chief.
Joe Biden?
Too centrist, too white male, too ooooold (big eye roll, there).
Bernie?
Not really sensitive about race issues or women's.
Unspoken subtext: too white, too male, too oooooold (tacit eye roll).
Their CW that they urge at every opportunity:
Democrats should not try specifically to win white votes, not even those of the whites who flipped from Obama to Trump.
They need to worry about turnout - but not white turnout, specifically - and aim at motivating their base, which is black voters.
[But in fact 59% of Democrats in 2017 were white. - PV]
[While only 19 % were black.]
They need to excite the youth.
They need to nominate an exciting candidate.
So, hey, a youngish woman of color would be perfect!
So say the black girls who regularly dominate the show.
