New York Times couldn’t explain how the most woke political party in history could have allowed this to happen: “Democrats Have the Most Racially Diverse Field Ever, [but] The Top Tier Is All White,” the headline announced last week.
If the top tier comprises three, then you have three whites in their seventies, two of them socialists and one female. If the top tier comprises four candidates, then it includes a third white male — Pete Buttigieg — although his gayness must afford him some victim cred. He feels forced to declare that if he were elected, his administration would have equal proportions of women and men. If he meant what he said, though, he would quit the race now, reducing the numerical dominance of whites and of males over others. Moreover, he would send his backers and money to women and blacks.
