Bernie v Biden?

Biden all day.

 

[Atlrocafella]

Some people are saying that if Biden gets the nomination that he should pick Kamala as his VP candidate. That would be a bad choice for both but especially Kamala.

Being Vice President is a downgrade from being a United States Senator representing California. Being VP is just being the President's biggest hype man/woman. VP's basically do nothing.

dikk Cheney would like to have a word with you

I really don’t understand why people devalue the position of VP. Depending on your relationship with the Pres, being the VP is still super important. You’re still the deciding vote in Congress if there is a tie, you network with leaders all over the globe and at a moments notice, you could be the most powerful Person on the planet. Not to mention, when it’s time for your own run for President, you automatically have an advantage (See Joe Biden )

Tulsi at vp might be a good thing.....


That same logic of voting for someone you'd prefer to have a beer with, might work for wanting to sleep with a candidate as well.

Holy shyt are you stupid. That woman should not be anywhere near an executive office. Piece of garbage politician.

imagine appealing to tulsi. You fools and basement minded weirdos are delusional.

Cmon breh....

Honestly at this stage I want everyone bar Sanders and Biden to drop out. I just want to win and get rid of Trump. I like Warren but if I’m honest, America is a long way away from electing a woman President.

America was 80000 votes away from doing it in 2016.

dikk Cheney's role as VP was not the norm. VP's are largely useless. Also, there is rarely tie votes in the Senate.

Also, Kamala can basically do all of what you described already as Senator.

The fact that Steyer and Kloubachar is qualified by not Yang, Castro, or Gabbard is qualified tells something

Actually Kamala can’t. She can’t sit in the SIT room with the President and understand what it takes to make those type of decisions. She can’t speak for the President, She can’t assume control of the Presidency if the current President becomes incapacitated, so no, she can’t do what a VP does.

Neera Tanden had a thing against Tulsi ever since she announced she supported Bernie in 2016. The Tulsi hate makes no sense if you aren't a Clinton stan still butthurt about 2016.

 

[the next guy]

Well, you guys got what y'all wanted. So celebrate!

A lot of the criticisms about her prosecutorial record were either exaggerated or blatantly false. I'm not saying she was perfect but a lot of y'all and a lot of Tulsitards and Bernie Bros were making her out to be Bull Connor or the KKK. It was and still is ridiculous.

It's a damn shame that Pete, Tulsi, Marianne, Steyer, Klobuchar are still in the race but not Kamala. Damn.

I'll vote for whoever's the nominee (as long as it's not Tulsi or Bloomberg but I don't expect them to win) but this ain't right man.

She put a lot of nikkas in jail. Biden took them out as a public defender. Can't have someone like that going against Trump.

 

[GodinDaFlesh]

More people need to drop out . Should be down to Biden, Warren and Sanders. Actually either Warren or Sanders should drop out and come up with a deal that they chose the other as VP. Let's not let blind ambition stand in the way of a progressive presidency.

they actually did it...those 80,000 votes simply swung the electoral college. some of these posters wanna keep standing behind "america isn't ready" instead of just coming out a saying they personally dont want a woman to be pres

As a woman. If a black woman gets the nomination at a later date. Do u think a sizeable percentage of black men won’t vote for her?

My theory is that they won’t and it’ll show the extreme sexism within our community, but I’d like to hear from ur perspective.
