Why Do These Democratic Men Insist on Turning Biden's Veepstakes into a Cat Fight?

 

By Laura Bassett, Aug 10, 2020

 

It’s fair and reasonable to scrutinize Harris’ or Klobuchar's prosecutorial records, or Abrams’ relative lack of experience, or Bass’ controversial comments about Cuba. But it’s the worst (not to mention extremely boring and rather tired) kind of sexist cliché to go after a woman’s "ambition," or her "likeability," or her "brazenness" in being willing to campaign for herself. Nobody just winds up in an elected position by chance, but women—and especially women of color—would absolutely never get into political office without standing up and demanding attention, asking for money, promoting the hell out of themselves.

 

Biden’s potential VP choices are an embarrassment of riches; it’s not revolutionary or even mildly difficult for him to find an eminently qualified and capable woman to join him in taking on Donald Trump. So why are the headlines comparing this to an episode of The Bachelor? Why did he drag out this announcement by declaring he would pick a woman so early on, but not actually name her? It’s long past time to stop punishing successful women for their ambition and imagining fights among us where there are none. Just get a woman into the White House already, we’re hundreds of years late.

 

(nauseating blah blah blah)

It's amazing that these four stories is all the online reporting that Google News can find in the last 24 hours that mention "Steven Schrage".

 

Well, not amazing, maddening.
