Dear Joe Biden, WTF?

Seriously, what the hell is going on here?

That’s the question we asked ourselves when we got the update confirming that former presidential hopeful, Amy Klobuchar is being vetted for the VP slot.

WTF?

How can this be happening, after everything we’ve been through with a national terrorizer as president, who’s using the supremacy of his whiteness as the weapon of our current nightmare?

How on earth can Joe Biden inexplicably announce the audacity of his choice to actually consider a lackluster contender, who barely has a track record as a champion of equality?

Klobuchar was an unremarkable candidate in a sea of ambitious contenders who never stood a chance of overshadowing the familiar relic from the dimming Obama era.

Almost immediately after she declared her run for the highest office in the land, former mentees fed the press spoonfuls of the behind-the-scenes 411 on what it entails to perform for a boss who’s unreasonably demanding.

And when she was more than halfway through the high-pressure debates where she failed at winning us over with dry humor and forced sincerity, an old court case came back to haunt her for reasons that didn’t boost her reputation.
