Unless the democrats fuck up and pick someone over 70, it’s a good win for them on this point.
I think everyone who had their name pushed and could have a chance at the convention has already endorsed Kamala Harris. They’re pretty obviously trying to avoid a contentious convention.
I still really want AOC but with Whitmer bowing out I think Buttigiege is probably it.
Harris is a black woman. No way they’re picking a gay man as her running mate. They’re worried she has too much for the (X)phobic crowd on her own. I would be absolutely shocked if whoever they pick as her VP isn’t a straight white man. You can say what you like about it but that’s the reality of where we are as a nation.
The kind of people who would not vote for Harris because she’s a Black woman were already going to vote for Trump.
Yeah it’s a point they’re allowed to make now, don’t know how well it’s really going to stick though. However so far the best republicans have against Kamala is that she… Laughs? That’s a good sign. Like a lot of the stuff people like me on the left have against Kamala is stuff republicans wouldn’t want to at her for.
Unfortunately Bernie’s leftist policies posed a slight risk to a small percentage of capital. So an all-out bipartisan effort to torpedo him ensued, and from the ashes emerged Planet Hillary.
Contender? He should’ve been the president in 2016. Democrats had to fuck that up. Trump won mostly because people hated Hilary.
I think Bernie is a pretty smart guy. he knows where he can be most effective - no trajectory change needed.
