Makes sense as a successor to Clinton/Gore and kinda reveals how aesthetic the Obama adminstration was, there’s not enough substance there to be a successor to

I mean I guess what the Obama administration had (and what Hillary aimed for) was minority representation. And that’s not nothing, and it works in subtle ways.

Remember Obama taking guff for some “pull up your damn pants” speech? But black conservatives are (were?) a Democratic constituency, and even more than “first black president” Bill Clinton, Obama could make them feel seen.

A VP whatever but they can tell stories. Remember how white people told the Onion “Diamond Joe” Biden story about how “classic rock” white scumbags were still part of the Democratic coalition? (Remember how McDonalds-loving poonhound “Bubba” Clinton made them feel seen too?)
