As Joe Biden nears a decision on his vice presidential running mate, women’s groups are mobilizing to proactively combat the kind of sexist and racist aspects that negatively impact women running for political office.

likened the selection process to an episode of The Bachelor. Those moments reinforce the need for education and priming people to notice sexism and racism — for a media that’s still largely male-dominated and also for voters.

The initial effort is mostly one of awareness and a campaign waged on social media platforms on cable television programs that play outsize roles in establishing the narratives of a presidential campaign.

“While some of the relentless attacks on Black women and our leadership abilities have been more suggestive than others,” the letter says, “make no mistake — we are qualified and ambitious without remorse.”

Heels up Harris?

Yet the want to force you to take ecpensive drugs over cheap ones..Thought you are responsible for your own bodies and what goes in them..Or is that out of your narrative..

What if I think ALL his potential picks are shit but I endorse Jorgensen4POTUS Surely you cant call me sexist for hatin the female option the dems give me while supporting a female POTUS candidate Checkmate.

Like when their boss pins them to a wall and gropes them?

Where were they after McCain picked Sarah Palin.

LetHerSpeak Jo Jorgensen

This is such a waste of resources causing division once again. The Democrats still can't admit that they lost 2016 and they want to hold onto the fact that they think it was because Hillary is a woman. Anyone I know, encourages women to run.

More Hypocrisy LetHerSpeak JoJorgenson2020

Do they know Biden has been accused of sexual assault? Using the Kavanaugh Doctrine of “If he’s accused he did it” that means they are supporting a sexual criminal. Besides being a White Supremacist.

You know, as a supposed news source, you should cover the fact that hey - there is a woman running for President in this election... LetHerSpeak VoteGold JoJorgensen2020

Says the network ignoring the only woman running for president. JoJorgensen2020

Cause men only get endless sex crime allegations thrown at them.

Whoever it is it won’t be a Russian servant ‘Patriot’ MAGAs

Must be right wing groups of deplorable women wanting to make trouble for Biden,.

We’ll now and then now again. My leg hair has a life of its own now again. Ok let me cut the chase about old corn pop. I knew corn pop because. Um. Yeah. I know a lot about shampoo from smelling so much hair. My homeboy Barrack was friend with me, long before we were roommates.

🇺🇸❤️🚂👅

😴

Seriously!?!! Biden’s handlers are picking a VP based solely on race snd gender. Who could possibly have a problem with that? Trump2020Landslide

How about supporting the woman running for President instead of the other 2 old white males? She's actually fighting for the rights of women and all Americans. ShesWithUs LetHerSpeak LetHerDebate GoJo2020

Face it..all his picks are terrible candidates. So here comes all the sexist excuses

I have never seen one of those signs around here..... anywhere

LetHerSpeak JoJorgensen

Where did you come up with this fake news?

NBC is fake news

All these woman supporting a pedophile!!

Geez, NBC, you are writing the headlines again before your self-fulfilling prophecy can come true. FakeNews

These so-called women's groups should just ask Conservative women and they'll get that answer as we know the left loves to attack them for their womanhood.

Shouldn't he have done this by now? Cutting it close ain't he?

Really. ... Biden couldn't pick fruit if he tried. ...

The Biden signs being held in the picture are the first ones I've seen. Most yards and poles have Trump signs and flags. If a woman runs for office, she should have to go through the same scrutiny as a man. It's the name of the political name unfortunately.

Who is going to tell Joe who is VP is?

Cool. Now do Jorgensen4POTUS. LetHerSpeak

delly60 Yes👍👍👍👍👍

🤦‍♂️

Where have they been for Jorgensen4POTUS ? She’s been in the Presidential race since late May? Hypocrisy VoteGold

Evolution works in mysterious ways. This could very well be the time where women rise with an empowered voice that cannot be contained or silenced by man. For those who love their nation stand with your sister, mother and grandmother to save the soul of our nation.

Beetle juice look with the pedos

Where have they been for Jorgensen4POTUS ? She’s been in the Presidential race since late May? Hypocrisy VoteGold

Democrats n Alexandria, Virginia let an accused rapist named Ibrahim Bouaichi out of jail because of covid. Last week, he murdered his accuser. Maybe that incident will be the one to convince people that democrats always side with violent criminals rather than vulnerable women?

If you want help women maybe help getting the only woman on the ballot in all 50 states onto the debate stage. LetHerSpeak

dont he eat babys and drink that adrinacrome stuff?

Joe Biden battles racism and sexism by groping little girls, making racist comments repeatedly and standing 6 white women in the sun with his signs? Got it

So they are going to get rid of Joe Biden?

'Sh*tlibs prepare to de-legitimize any criticism of Joe Biden's capitalist/imperialist tool VP pick.'

🙄 ok

You mean like ignoring her campaign despite being on the ballot in all 50 states and excluding her from the debates despite that same fact! LetHerSpeak

I'm sure there will be plenty of reasons to criticize Biden's neoliberal tool VP without being sexist, racist or anything else-ist.

The Affirmative Action candidate!

The ACA made this woman uninsured, but it was a 'big, f*cking deal'.

A vagina does not insulate one from criticism, even aggressive, mean-spirited criticism.

Losers at NBCdint hide their flat out Biden endorsement . 🙄🙄

Like being selected because they have a cervix?

Be vigilant!!

Incompetence is not a gender problem. JoeBiden is a male and he is incompetent.

Right, because heaven forbid someone bring up legitimate criticisms of his top two picks, like their support of mass incarceration and regime change wars. Must mean they’re sexist. 🙄

He already made his choice!

Good

Fight hard ladies we already know that Trump is a enemy and has no respect for women at least no one he can’t be with justsaying

joe isn’t deciding a god damn thing. he is being instructed as to what his next move is at all times. poor guy is in significant cognitive decline.

The vice president will become the next president of USA if he is elected

How about an article on the only woman running for president?

The asshat may change his VP based on Biden’s selection

My instincts tell me that some potential candidates are asking so much, or represent such a risk, so time is required...

There’s been a female VP candidate. We’ve had a black President. Joe Biden’s VP pick is a non starter. No. One. Cares.

How about choosing a candidate based on race and gender is racist and sexist!

Biden isn’t picking anyone. His handlers are
