    Democrats have nominated really strong campaigners for Lt. Gov in both #MNGov and #WIGov. Peggy Flanagan (38) would be first Native American to hold the job; Mandela Barnes (31) would be first African-American.

        in these hellish times this is one of the few good things - that for all the centrist handwringing, democrats are going full on for women, poc, queer candidates, and *winning*

        Alternatively, we embrace the best qualified candidates for the job and recognize that white men do not have a monopoly on those qualifications.

        You got it all wrong. Diversity is not about different genders, races or religions of nominees. It is about having different opinions. That is what matters the most. Otherwise it is just a large echo chamber with people from different genders, races or religions and no diversity.
