249. As I asked the other poster, would you vote for Ben Carson or Clarence Thomas?

Fri Oct 16, 2015, 08:16 PM

Oct 2015

Taking it into consideration is one thing, voting based on it is another. I think there's a difference there and I'm sure Sanders meant the latter since he's well aware of the issues PoC face every day, though I haven't heard the quote in context.

One of the things that made me so happy to vote for Obama and shed a tear when he won was that he was AA, so I get it maybe to 1/1,000,000 of a degree that you do since I'm not a PoC, but I wouldn't have felt that way if it were Ben Carson of course.

And as I mentioned, I wouldn't vote for someone just because they are a woman. If Elizabeth Warren ran I would vote for her in a second and perhaps over Sanders, but I would have to really look at that. I wouldn't do it automatically just because she is a woman.
