    this is the 3rd time biden is running for president, and somehow now is the time people are going to support him because he was friend with a mixed guy

    Well the other two times he ran his national profile wasn’t as big, either.

    Also, Reagan ran 3 times and didn’t win the primary until his 3rd attempt. Nixon lost a general, lost a governor race, then won the primary and general. Bush Sr lost the first time as well (won on his second attempt).

    Ik it’s ideologically inconsistent but this been the best news since ST

    Warren can go hop off a bridge
    Lmaooo

    Personally for VP im hoping
    Duckworth (my wisconsin sister )
    Harris
    Warren

    If warren had dropped out and endorsed bernie shed have better sway w bernies crowd and would literally hv bernies whole movement lobbying for her rn, giving joe even more incentive to pick her

    Trump is really trying to do everything he can to serve this one up to Biden on a silver platter.

    The amount of ad amunition that Biden has right now keeps growing -- imagine November coming and the virus has a massive second wave, and Biden can throw up some ads reminding people how Trump tore down the Covid Task Force in early May

    So my thoughts on Biden's VP selection is this:

    • Kamala is a good choice for media presence and youth and to maybe make Biden "look cool", but I honestly don't get why everyone is hyping her up so much when electorally she's not an amazing option. Maybe they're banking on African Americans just forgetting that she has a terrible record as an AG, but I think that's a dumb strategy, not to mention Biden's already strong with Africans Americans already. And again, electorally she doesn't do s*** -- Dems have the West on lock these days (even including Nevada and Colorado)

    • Klobuchar is much better electorally -- she can draw in moderates and will probably help him a lot in the crucial battle ground states in the Mid West. The big problem is that I see her as the opposite of Kamala in that she's very boring/bland media wise, doesn't really look like "youth" either lol -- kind of reminds me of the Tim Kaine pick, very safe. Also I would dislike the pick lol.

    • Tammy Duckworth would be cool, I haven't really heard her name pop up in recent weeks tho. Also, I can pretty much guarantee the GOP would bring that bogus "she wasn't born in the US" bullshit up as a distraction sadly.

    • As much as I dislike Warren as a person for what she did, policy-wise I wayyyy prefer her over a lot of these people that Biden's looking at. That being said, the same reasons why I thought she would be a problematic Presidential nominee still apply here -- people will see her as a Hillary clone (elite, old white, liberal woman from the East Coast -- I know they're very different, but that's how a lot of people see it). I think she would ultimately be more of a hindrance to Biden than doing him any good electorally.

    • So I don't know a huge amount about Whitmer, but my thoughts on her are that her big draw would be helping Biden electorally in the Mid West, but if I'm not mistaken she's kind of unpopular there right now? Could be wrong, but she may be in the spotlight too much for her own good right now.

    • Stacey Abrams is actually a decent pick. She's got an intriguing media presence and doesn't necessarily have too much baggage. I personally don't love the pick, but I definitely don't hate it and I can't think of too many mainstream voters that would.

    • In my opinion, the best choice that is REALISTIC for Biden to make by far is Tammy Baldwin. Policy wise she's solid compared to most of these people, she's been a staple in mid west politics for years, she's well liked in her party. The only thing would be her potentially not appealing to minority voters enough, but I think Biden's got that on lock especially with Trump as the opponent. Can't really see a choice that comes close to being as good as her (again key word "realistically" -- Biden's not choose Ilhan Omar lol).

    One I forgot:

    • Catherine Cortez Masto is basically just the Latino version of Klobuchar without the mid west appeal. Hard pass.

    This the type of hoe that would vote for Biden over Bernie even if the primary was still contested, and tell you you're sexist if you told her she's wrong to do that

  • I mean... Reade’s own big star witness has already said she is going to vote for Biden, as well

    Devoss really got to be the worst politician out there other than Trump and McConnell today

  • May 7, 2020

    Just realized that Trump and Hillary will both be younger in 2024 than Biden or Bernie are currently.

    If Biden beats Trump and does end up being a one term president (doesn’t seek re-election), then we could theoretically see the rematch of the century

    Canada basically just increased their min wage to something like $18 per hour

    A new wage increase program was created for essential workers in healthcare and grocery stores who make min wage and the feds are fitting the bill

    Many social scientists are saying it’s all but basically guaranteed to be permanent now cus as yall know dismantling popular programs when the people get a taste is practically impossible

    I hate on the canadian liberal Party a lot but it’s pretty clear they are solidly to the left of the dems and they’re our centrist party, pretty crazy to think about. Even the conservative party is to the left of repubs on issues like climate change and immigration (canada has the most new immigrants per capita of any western country)

    Canadian politics are fascinating

    Man if literally any other republican was president rn I would write in Bernie on my ballot
