Re: Biden v Dump 1: If not now, when? If not us, who?
She would be my choice. Actually other than the experience factor (which I think is important but in the right person hardly disqualifying) she has the potential to be one of the great presidents in our history if given a chance.
But a former colleague of mine -- a woman who successfully enlightened me on some of my own issues where race/ethnicity was concerned -- says Abrams might be seen as too "ethnic" for some shall we say less open minded democratic-leaning voters. While not a litmus test or requirement to join with democrats like it is with republicans, let us remember a good number of people who might vote for the right people have some pretty wrong beliefs about people of color.
I'm torn because I both desperately want Biden to win, but I also want America to start looking at some actual leaders who would take care of the 99%, first, second and last. Abrams checks every box for me that is important to check.
