I might get why it is a woman, but it would have been way fairer to choose a latina woman this time around. Hispanic population in the US is 18%, blacks are 16%, so why was it their turn yet again?
I hope for at least one snarky response to that.
Because despite 7 pages of argument and analysis over the VP pick, nobody actually cares about who the VP pick is unless maybe you appeal to a certain group, and maybe that will bring more people out to vote who maybe wouldn't have bothered. Maybe.
