This kind of shit really pisses me off. Nobody demanded that Fat Bastard hire an Obama supporter, and I am so goddamn sick of them only making such demands of Democrats. Yes, go fuck yourselves.

Biden shouldn't fall for it. There are plenty of qualified Dems to fill all the positions.

I'm in favor of hiring the most qualified people for positions, taking into account the benefits of creating a diverse staff that looks like the country - including a diversity of opinion. Echo chambers almost never produce policies that are widely supported.

But - I wholeheartedly agree with the meme I've seen recently. Paraphrasing because I can't find it at the moment:

We can work together and even be friends if we have different political opinions. BUT white supremacy, homophobia, misogyny, trans hostility are NOT political opinions. Those are advocacy of the violation of human rights.

Sure, there are suggestions that he consider naming a Republican and certain never Trumper names have been floated), but if there's a groundswell of "media" demanding Biden name a Trump supporter, it's very well hidden.

Maybe you can provide a link?
