Biden picks Kamala Harris as his VP

It’s more “Faith Spotted Eagle or GTFO”. That’s what the average white guy from the Midwest and the South wants

I don’t usually subvocalize when I read, but goddamn did I read that in her voice

I’m annoyed he didn’t pick Susan Rice.

But that choice would anger the leftist crowd just as much.

(On further reflection though, Harris was the much better choice between the two. RIce just has no electoral/campaign experience at all. Much safer to go with Harris. And get Rice into SecState after the win.)

Really, that can be for during the election, as well. You just have to ask yourself: “Is Trump or Biden/Harris closer to my beliefs on this?” …because, TBH, I can’t think of anything I’m likely to be closer to with Trump’s beliefs than Biden’s.

I agree completely, but McC is polling very well against McGrath in KY.

If that’s all the “dirt” his campaign has on her, well, let the mudslinging begin

If he doesn’t make it to 86 years old, she’s set to be the first woman U.S. President.

If he’s elected, then his first term will end when he’s 82, Rob.

I’m Black and a woman, so I should just ‘be happy’ with Harris as the pick, is that what you’re implying?

I don’t think that was meant as a compliment.

Pence is more of a toy poodle.

Me, too.

Proudly Southern, white male here requesting that you please taken this racist idiocy elsewhere.
Arguing that candidates that racists or misogynists won’t vote for shouldn’t be nominated, actively increases the power of said bigots, effectively giving them veto power.
This is not an amoral issue. Just because there are some people that would rather vote for a white, male version of Kamala is not a good reason to pick a white, male candidate; it is exactly why we need to not pick white male candidates

Well, he chose, and it’s not a real surprise. Still a better pick than Clinton’s decision to go with unknown milquetoast. Hope to see more progressives pulled into a Biden cabinet, and we’ll have to keep the pressure on through protests to ensure he doesn’t fully backside to center right policies.

honestly, i was rooting for Duckworth and Warren, but being able to watch Harris eat Pence alive on stage during the debates is going to be pretty sweet.

I heard that Tucker Carlson is being groomed for that position.

I’m reserving judgement at this point. If the goal is to please only your own base, I would agree. But if you are going after the fence riders, who may already have strong negative feelings about the other Left Coast San Francisco elite running the Dems, then you are once again setting yourself up to feel the wrath of flyover country. Ask the last Democratic candidate how that worked out.

The progressives (AKA Bernie Backers) would rather lose to an authoritarian (borderline fascist) to prove their point. I mean, after all, some people suggest they’re the reason this animal, who is destroying the constitution and democracy in America with it, won in 2016. Ever heard of “perfect is the enemy of good”? Go ahead and flame me, but if you’re willing to trade four more years of this for being right, then you might never have the opportunity to make a progressive America, which in the end, is what we all want, right?

I’m pretty sure that’s the reaction the person you’re addressing is going for.
