They should nominate Michelle Obama. Wouldn't that piss off Republicans. Better yet, nominate President Obama or AOC.
"Wouldn't that piss off Republicans"
Ironically that's been the DNC's only motivation since Carter...
well that and enriching themselves and playing the race and sexism card
Would be difficult to nominate someone who lost her license to practice law (for life) due to dishonest and corrupt behavior, even for democrats.
moochelle wasn't ever on the list.

I'm pretty sure since the post refers to Jimmy Carter and the 70's it's about broad generalities. Unless you think neither side does stuff to piss the other side off.

Why does she have to be black?
Because Democrats do not care about qualifications. Everything is optics and political points.
It should simply be someone who is a qualified fit. I have no problem with picking someone who is favorable to your sides manor political alignment, but race, sex etc.. should not factor in.
On the plus side they must know that the cheating is going to be much harder in some areas for 2022, so they are pushing him out early in anticipation of losing in a major way. If they had any hope of it being a favorable or close election cycle they would not have rushed him out.
The downside to having another dumpster fire of a justice appointed is that they will likely get 20 or 30 years out of the new one. No hope to have them replaced by someone who actually understands and respects the constitution.

Same with Ronald Reagan, when he said it's time for a woman on the court and promised to appoint a woman to the Supreme Court. Same as when George W Bush promised to replace Thurgood Marshall with another Black man. It's all optics, right?
I didn't like those remarks either, but at least they were saying something that Americans as a whole were demanding at the time.

Really? How old were you when Ron Reagan was president? George W Bush? You think you had your finger on pulse of Americans, as a whole" in the 1980's and that they were demanding a woman on the Supreme Court when they couldn't even get the Equal RIghts Amendment passed? Do you think Americans, as a whole were demanding Bush to appoint a black man to replace a black man too?
Just lol.
Also, It sounds like you're skeptical as whether or not there even is a qualified black woman out there to serve as a Supreme Court Justice.

Old enough to have been paying attention to politics.
And to meet Reagan several times.
But nobody needed any special skills to take the pulse of the country back then, it was well before democrats completely destroyed the msm.
democrats only controlled 90% of msm back then.
Until relatively recently, we had the most honest and free press the world has ever seen (even with its many warts), but msm is the first thing that fascist democrats targeted after the education system.
I have no idea if there is a qualified black woman or not, or even what biden considers qualified (besides being black and female) but there are very few at the top of the legal profession, so why limit yourself to maybe 1% (at best) of the top legal minds available?
1860 polling is why biden self-politicized this nomination.
Nothing else.

Does that make anything I said inaccurate?
No.
Even democrats aren't stupid enough to nominate her.
She has already disqualified herself.

Again my post said nothing about who they may or may not nominate, only the DNC generally enjoys pissing off the Republicans any chance they get.
Perhaps in your zeal to get a zinger in you completely missed that it was another poster that suggested Michelle Obama and now you are coming across as
