ICHEOKU says whichever way he chooses, it doesn't matter, as Joe Biden will still lose the November 3rd election. President Donald John Trump will be reelected for a second term. A vice presidential candidate pick decision which is increasingly becoming very difficult for Joe Biden to make because of the need to satisfy all the forces competing for the position which are simply too many to completely satisfy and pacify.
The Democratic Party is a coalition of the willing interests plus more, especially those who prefer it to the Republican Party not necessarily because they are ideologically ad idem, but because they see the party as the nearest best vehicle to maintain a lifestyle or a way of life which they prefer. Then within the main frame Democratic Party, there are the conservatives and the liberals, as well as the progressives who want to push the party to the extreme far left on issues which they care about. Then you have the LGBTQ wing which wants to know why a transgendered woman is not woman enough for the purposes of anchoring the Joe Biden's promised woman vice presidential slot.
But topping the chart of conflict is the color of the skin of the person as black people are insisting that the woman must be a black woman or no deal. According to their argument, black people are the electoral backbone of the Democratic Party and have contributed so much to the party's successes, including Joe Biden's securing the presidential nomination which was Bernie Sanders for the grab, until black people turned things around for Joe Biden beginning with South Carolina. Their loyalty to the party, they say should no longer be taken for granted and they demand the vice presidential slot as a matter of right.
So the political gymnastics which Joe Biden is currently maneuvering is an extremely difficult one, as all these disparate groups are righteously staking their claim to the position. This is why the announcement has been further delayed from the earlier scheduled first week of August to whenever it eventually happens. American people are now in the second week of Joe Biden's vice presidential pick watch and you begin to understand the intense pressure which the former Vice President is currently under, to choose a woman who will serve in his former capacity should he win the election, admittedly a near impossible task to pull off.
ICHEOKU says the opposition against Kamala Harris is so intense that her choice is almost stalled that it will probably not happen. This much was discernible when the announcement which would have been made as promised during the first week of August was postponed, following the kite which was flown about her choice with Kamala Harris written on top of his to do list. But the Hillary Clinton led liberal white feminists wing of the party to which Elizabeth Warren belongs is strongly opposed to Kamala Harris choice. They are arguing the merit of choosing a minority female instead of any female who is rather most qualified for the job. They also contend why such a minority must be black when other minorities exist in the Democratic Party and finally that her choice will turn off white voters who will interpret it as a prelude to another black president in the White House so soon after the apology that was Barack Obama.
On the other hand, progressives are against choosing Susan Rice because it will leave progressives out in the cold, being a huge voting bloc of the Democratic Party. It is their contention that both Joe Biden and Susan Rice belong to the same conservative wing of the Democratic Party. That selecting her will mean excluding the progressives and that the ticket will not be inclusive enough to entice their members to the polls on November 3rd. Further, that both Joe Biden and Susan Rice's biggest credential is their foreign affairs knowledgeability which will leave both of them bringing the same foreign policy gravitas to the ticket, instead of the diversity of expertise which pairing normally provides.
Now to complicate matters further for Joe Biden, some group of 100 black people have publicly written to the campaign to demand that a black woman be chosen as Joe Biden's vice presidential candidate or they will not work for the campaign. But whether these people are true representatives of black people and have the ability to influence an outcome or just hustling for contracts in a successful Joe Biden's election is but anyone's guess. Whatever that may be, they are not helping Joe Biden make his decision but have thrown an additional wrench to the whole exercise.
However, it really does not matter who Joe Biden eventually choses, ether way, he will still lose to President Donald John Trump. Joe Biden is in a kind of quandary now having alienated the entire men population of America by delimiting his choice to only females. He is now finding out how huge a mistake that is, because as is always the case with women, there is now an additional hurdle of the type of woman. Joe Biden has found himself with a fish bone stuck in his esophagus which will neither go down into the stomach nor allow itself to be vomited. There goes the Joe Biden's third attempt to occupy the White House as his two other previous attempts similarly suffered some glitches from which they were never successfully rebooted.
Anyway, the Joe Biden's vice presidential pick watch continues and hopefully it will not drag all the way to the August 17th convention. It is so sad how trivialized the Democratic Party is, where everyone thinks they know it all, only to always prove themselves grossly incompetent. They are evident that too many hands indeed do spoil the broth. Each one them wants to run things but not realizing that not everyone is gifted or knowledgeable on how things are run. Just look at what is happening in Chicago, San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles and you wonder who actually votes for this breed of politicians. On November 3rd, real American people who love America dearly, real patriots, will vote to stay the course. They will reelect President Donald John Trump for a second term. But until then, the vice presidential pick continues but it will not be Kamala Harris and ICHEOKU still bets on Elizabeth Warren.
