When Harris had to pick a VP, all media kinda agreed it should be a white male, to balance the fact that she is black and a woman. So Walz is the DEI hire.

If he lacks political experience, he chooses someone who has it. If he lacks international experience, he chooses someone who has it.

I mean, this just sounds like good teamwork

Fundamentally DEI is about good teamwork. You want a diverse team of people with different backgrounds and experiences.

The repubs have successfully tricked a large number of people (including liberals/centrists) into accepting their premise that DEI is a bad thing. When they accuse someone of being a DEI hire the response shouldn’t have been “nuh-uh, she was chosen for her merits,” it should have been “so what? What makes you think she’s not up to the job?”
