People know a lot of people that doesn’t make them a Viable VP candidate.Speaking of weak arguments
Low level how? People know her nationwide. Especially Dems.
Yes, people like her. People don't fukk with Klobuchar. Kamala already got dragged and her record in this atmosphere is a non-starter. Same with Klob.
What people like Yates? Who know Yates? Abrams has more of a national profile of than Yates. And Yates has never won a nation or state race either.
Your distaste for Abrams is your own business. But don't that project that into nonsensical arguments.
You keep bringing Amy and Kamala but I haven’t mentioned them relative to Abrams. Again your endorsement Abrams is who she isn’t instead of what she’s done. At the end of the day Amy and Kamala are senators so yes a majority of people in their states like them enough to make them one of two people to hold that designation in their state. How much they are liked nationally and by certain groups can be debated but they have won major national offices. Abrams has not. What’s Abrams record on any subject?
Bringing up a Yates is another pivot because I haven’t touted her.
I haven’t said anything non-sensical. Non-sensical is asking about other candidates that weren’t mentioned and still not having a cohesive accomplishment that shows viability of Abrams.
But it is impressive that she only lost her governor’s race by 1.4 percent with Kemp using every voter suppression tactic that there is. If her opponent wasn’t able to create the voting rules she would be governor now. With that said I really wish she would of ran for senate instead of trying to become VP.
It is but almost isn’t an accomplishment. Like “almost was governor” is not a resume bullet point. At the end of the day her story would have to be told because she’s not truly nationally known outside of the political bubble. To that point you can’t spend resources trying to tell voters well she almost won but the other dude cheated.
Agreed that should should have ran for senator. Baffled on how she played this whole thing.

My bad I was trying to reply to post that mentioned how Warren treated her black campaign staff.

Biden's strength in the South would probably shore up that weakness.
My new power ranking:
1. Elizabeth Warren
2. Keisha Lance Bottoms
Amy, Kamala, and Val are just too risky given their prosecutorial/law enforcement history.
Right now I think Warren is the safest pick. She makes up for Biden's weakness with progressives and the mood of this country is shifting to the left. But Keisha Lance Bottoms has been killing it
. During these protests she's slowly becoming the face of leadership, and I think most Americans can identify with her viewpoint that justice should be served, but that destruction and chaos is not the way. She's young, can maximize black turnout and might be the boost of energy that Biden needs, especially being mayor of a black mecca. We also need to take into consideration that she's in a deep red state, so the chances of her ever becoming a senator or governor are slim, so her being a mayor shouldn't be a reason to stifle her starpower. Her biggest flaw is that no one really knew her until this year, and most people still don't really know her, which can sometimes be a good thing because then she's a blank canvas with no baggage.

None of the candidates are full proof. As well as she has generally done what is her foothold to run on. She came across as passionate during a tough period? Just purely support of Biden?My new power ranking:

Maybe I'm out the loop, why are people infatuated with Keisha?
Is cause they've defaulted to the VP gotta be a black woman? Polls? A first term mayor is a big stretch.
She's just trying to save face.

Jumped out before the Minnesota AG was suppose to announce it. She did this on purpose to salvage her VP chances. That ain't changing anything. She done for.
Likely just made it worse

I'm thinking Klobuchar did it to salvage her senator spot at this point
