    What history is that? That someone in the advanced stages of dementia could come in second in a presidential election?

    I believe that @Bill Boggs means that history is being made by a woman of color being chosen to run for vice president. I don't think it is necessary to belittle @Bill Boggs post. His opinion is worth just as much as any of the opinions of the rest of us.

    I know that we don't all use our real names here, but I strongly suspect that Bill Boggs is not actually Joe Biden, and that's the only person I made fun of in my post. I wasn't aware that no black woman had been on the ticket for vice president before, since several have been on the ticket for president. You get points for virtue signaling, however.

    Charlene Alexander Mitchell ran for president on the Communist Party ticket in 1968. Lenora Branch Fulani was the first black independent and the first female presidential candidate to appear on the ballot in each state in 1982. Cynthia McKinney ran for president on the Green Party ticket in 2008. Other black women who ran for president in a general election included Monica Moorehead (Workers World Party), Peta Lindsay (Party for Socialism and Liberation), Margaret Wright (People’s Party), and Isabell Masters (Looking Back Party).
