Biden is honestly coming across like a self-aware version of Trump that can usually hide his most egregious character flaws but slips up now and then...
So Warren/Harris it is.
Which I hate to even say, won't win. Two women on the same ticket.....let's not pretend everybody is that progressive.
Hillary won the popular vote while being one of the least engaging candidates ever to run for public office.
Warren has a superior platform she’s pitching and she comes across as someone’s well-meaning aunt rather than an out of touch cyborg, people really need to stop assuming sexism is the biggest issue facing the western world and that it’ll jump out from behind every bush.
If Warren chose a slightly younger, male VP that would sew up any weird “electability”/identity representation issues people may have.
Buttigieg? Or would a woman and a gay man be pushing it?
They should also stop giving sexism so much weight as the thing that held back Clinton. There's quite a few reasons she didn't win, and not all of them were illegitimate or bad-faith smears.Warren has a superior platform she’s pitching and she comes across as someone’s well-meaning aunt rather than an out of touch cyborg, people really need to stop assuming sexism is the biggest issue facing the western world and that it’ll jump out from behind every bush.

He will apologize for how black folk feel. Not his own ****ed up actions.Biden can't bring himself to apologize for anything, so hopefully Booker isn't holding his breath.
I don't know. Buttigeig is kind of fuzzy on a lot of things, and he does have that annoying element of trying to sound a bit like Biden, but is far better at sounding 21st century about it. I wouldn't hate him or anything, but I feel like we could do better.Warren/Buttigeig sounds good.
I consider it my ideal Plan B. I wanna put Booker in there, but I'm just not feeling it.I don't know.

Warren and Bernie probably wouldn't work out for a few reasons. So for me I guess it would be Warren and Gillibrand. She definitely has her issues from the past, but unlike Biden, I can buy her actually being progressive going forward. Same thing with Harris, though Harris issues hit closer to home for me, considering where she is from.I consider it my ideal Plan B. I wanna put Booker in there, but I'm just not feeling it.
It did carry over though. Most people who voted Bernie in the primaries ended up voting for Hillary, and way more Hillary voters jumped ship back in 2008.Look, my generation is the perfect age to be affected by the Hillary messaging. I mean, there is a reason there was substantial enthusiasm for Bernie over Hillary. And why that support didn't carry over.
It is quickly becoming apparent why Stacy Abrams told Biden to **** off.
I do not believe Booker is a good choice on the ticket.
