subject: Demagogue Definition

I know I shouldn't believe everything I read online, but here's Google's 
definition of demagogue:

"A political leader who seeks support by appealing to the desires and 
prejudices of ordinary people rather than by using rational argument."

Based on that definition, Trump is not a match. He uses rational argument to 
appeal to whoever is listening.

But Joe Biden is an exact match for the definition of demagogue:

He chose Kamala Harris as his running mate because she's black-ish and female.

He thereby rejected Pete Buttigieg, the white male, homosexual, former
lieutenant in the navy. "Thanks for your service in Afghanistan Pete, but you
just ain't black or female enough for this gig."

He also thereby rejected Tulsi Gabbard, the asian-Pacific islander, female, 
sexy, former Army medic. "Thanks for your service in Iraq Tulsi, but you just 
ain't black enough for this gig."

I'm confident that you won't hear Joe Biden using the word "demagogue" while 
referring to Trump, because that word doesn't sound pretty coming out of his 
mouth.
