    Don't put the flag burning anthem kneelers in the category of being americans. There are patriots and there are Biden/Clinton/Obama supporters.

    if they want it to represent the diversity of America, just follow the statistics
    Hispanic and Latino (of any race): 18.5%
    Self-identified race: Percent of population
    Non-Hispanic white: 60.1%
    Black or African American: 13.4%

    So by that, out of every 100 members there should be 60 whites, 13 blacks, 18 hispanic or latino, and 9 of everything else
    This isn't rocket science. Their idea of diversity is black, black, black and black

    Really?

    Well, if that is the case, he still has a long way to go (waiting until TRUMP buys his way and out).

    Donald Trump’s long history of racism, from the 1970s to 2020

    https://www.vox.com/2016/7/25/12270880/donald-trump-racist-racism-history

    The 26 women who have accused Trump of sexual misconduct

    https://www.businessinsider.com/women-accused-trump-sexual-misconduct-list-2017-12

    NOW, back to the topic of the OP:

    I fully support the Biden Initiative (in regards to the USPS).:flagus:

    Why focus on skin/genetalia and focus instead on experiences or perspectives? Answer: Liberals think that women and minorities think different than white men and that way of thinking can easily be counted by counting skin colors and genitalia. That way of thinking is not only lazy but racist.

    Growing up a minority or a woman in America is not the same as growing up white. It is going to result in a different perspective.
    And republicans wonder why they don’t win women or minority voters

    I kinda feel sorry for that guy (well, not really, he does bring the same inane line to every thread), to be soooo obsessed with a single individual must make for a lonely existence. :rolleyes:

    DeJoy is a logistics expert. When I sold to the USPS you know what industry/business they are classified? Logistics. Devos had a history of management and on educational issues and with a goal of trying to change the Department of Education into a more "business" advisory organization and education in general in this country from a government controlled "we look after ourselves first" organization into what it should be a service business, it provides a service and the customers should have more choice and input I think she was quite appropriate. Neither were chosen because of what the looked like.

    This is in response to DeJoy’s testimony on the hill. In other words he’ll be gone soon.

    The voters did that. The DNC may have wanted Biden too, but the voters gave him the primary votes to make him the nominee.

    And it's easy to see why. Biden was one of the only centrist candidates in the crop. With a few exceptions, most just parroted the twitter trending political thought-of-the-week.

    In 2024, you can bet that the Republican candidates will do the same for whatever nonsense is trending on right-wing talk radio, opinion media, and social media. They will cater to the noisiest of the bunch, which always fails because the noisiest are also most often the dumbest.

    That or whatever idiocy Trump is doing that week. And that's assuming he's not the nominee again, which would be monumentally sad.

    Both the DNC and RNC will have to find new candidates in 2024 since Trump and Biden will be either dead or drooling by then. I look forward to the 30 person debates on both sides of the isle.

    Not opposed to anything, address what I said. And no the USPS was weaponized and carried out it's job. The problems weren't with the post office.

    Diversity can when qualifications are similar. Sure. Diversity in place of qualification is nonsensical, and yet so democrat.

    No, by assuming their thoughts and background as a function of their skin color or gender.
