Beto Adheres To Identity Politics, Says Female VP Would Be His 'Preference'

Article here. Excerpt:

'While campaigning in Iowa over the weekend, 2020 presidential hopeful Robert "Beto" O'Rourke said it would be his "preference" to tap a women as his vice president if he were to become the Democrat nominee.

O'Rourke was asked by a supporter point-blank if he would "put a woman" as his vice president if he were to become the Democratic nominee. There was not a specific candidate's name mentioned, but a general request that whomever he chooses be female.

"It's hard for me to think of a reason that I would not do that," O'Rourke answered, noting that "talking about who I would pick as vice president feels really premature."

"I know it feels premature," the supporter acknowledged, "but you’re half of a ticket, and you’re becoming president. You represent the other half of this country, too. They need to see in a position of power in this country."

"Yes," said O'Rourke, nodding along.

“We haven’t had a woman vice president," the supporter continued. "I would like the youngest person that I’m gonna vote for to drive this country forward and put a woman on his ticket.”'

She has a vagina. She could be a blithering idiot. Doesn't matter.

This is merely ONE reason why identity politics is ludicrous. With identity politics, a woman-or-no-one supporter will say a woman with an IQ of 50 and is terminally ill will be preferable to a man with an IQ of 170 who is perfectly fit and has the cure to cancer.
