1) I don't actually have any say in who picks what VP
2) I was more talking about the kind of person would make more sense to energize the electorate
3) she wouldn't be the first person to play coy before accepting any kind of position in an administration
4) why so combative

 

because people did the same with her and running for senate even after she made it plain what she wanted to do and that she had no desire to be in the senate. people need to chill and let her live lol.

 

Yeah I think she's lining up for another run at the governorship in 2022.

 

lmao the replies

 

I see Bernie in a brokered convention being Biden’s VP before that, unfortunately.

 

It's a shame Biden would never be VP again, it's prob the perfect role for him in any election. Not so perfect for another old white candidate perhaps because the lack of diversity would be shitty, but...stick him at VP where he can appeal to certain voters without having any real power

 

Bernie/Warren just doesn't make sense by any traditional VP-picking criteria. Two old, white, new england senators from the left side of the field. Usually you try to broaden appeal with your pick

 

And I know I've beaten a dead horse here but I would hate to have one of their voices out of senate and in a role with no real power. I guess if Biden wins it would be nice to have one of them be the lefty voice in the administration, but I still think they'd get more done in the senate than as VP

 

lol this little exchange made me laugh

 

“Discribing”

 

The English language has such a liberal bias

 

Yeah, I also wouldn’t mind seeing Warren be Treasury secretary, she’d be able to do much more there than VP.

 

Crap David has almost discovered my "give joe Kennedy the VP slot to stop him from fucking up the Senate" strategy expect he'll actually think it's a good idea

 

Meh, I guess he could be a 'good' pick in that sense but....I'm still of the belief that if the candidate is an older white person, which it almost certainly will be at this point, then the VP should almost definitely be a younger POC. Bernie would almost HAVE to go with a woman I would think.

 

If only there were....oh, I don't know, some sort of investigation...An inquiry if you will...that would help you gather all the facts and make a decision.
