Joe Biden selects Senator Kamala Harris as his VP Pick

[Outlaw]

So no one thinks her history with locking lower-income black folks up in CA is a problem? I think she's be an easy target for the GOP.

A classist black woman is a lick to them, gender and class politics and it's a wrap.

So the Republicans are going to say Biden will want to defund the police but Kamala is going to look to increase the incarceration rate?


If that type of hypocritical logic works on an undecided then they were going to break for Trump anyway

Biden is a fool if it’s Bass or Rice. Just pick Kamala and end this farce.

Sadly I think Biden is going to pick someone else.

I think he’s more apt to pick Harris despite what everyone else thinks and as long as Mrs. Biden is ok with it.

One thing about Kamala that I haven’t seen mentioned much is that Trump can’t slander her on being soft on police since she was an AG. You can’t say Biden wants to defund the police but then say Kamala wants to throw minorities in jail. Her AG record can only be criticized from the left and quite frankly left criticism should be irrelevant at this point when you’re running against a fascist

.

how, when their main strategy right now is trying to claim that biden wants to defund the police?

"copmala" pretty much eliminates that bullshyt does kamala/biden want to lock people up, or defund the police? because it cant be both

 

[the next guy]

@John Reena who should be VP?

Susan Rice is perfect

Susan Rice is perfect

She's terrible. She allows Trump to re-litigate decades worth of foreign policy bullshyt from Rwanda to Benghazi. She has never held public office or won an election. A lot of republicans straight up hate her guts. Nah.

What does she offer the ticket? Biden views himself as a foreign policy guy, so he'll prob be the brains behind that shyt. Rice has no history in domestic policy so...what would she do? She'd be a fine Secretary Of State, or National Security Advisor. But VP? Hell no.

I gotta laugh at Republicans hating her guts being a disqualification

It's def my weakest point. I'm just saying...there is no benefit here. I'm gonna assume the VP is gonna become the president at some point. Therefore you need someone who is experienced in the political world (ie has won elections state wide) and capable of rallying the party. Kamala can do that. Warren can do that. Maybe a governor candidate like Whitmer could do it. No one else can. If Rice had some type of short term, 2020 specific political benefit that could push Biden over the top I'd be all for it. But she doesn't.

The VP is likely going to be the one running the virus task force, doing interviews, etc etc while Biden focuses on the economy/congress relations/etc. The smart play would be to use the VP's youth to the administration's advantage and have that person be super visible. If we get the virus turned around, Biden will naturally get credit but the VP will have been the person who earned the country's respect/admiration. And if Biden bows out in 2023, the VP will be ready to take over and have something huge to run on. Even a merely satisfactory virus response is going to work wonders compared to the disaster we have now. Meanwhile if Biden can get the economy turned around, 2024 could be a very good year for democrats and the VP takes over as the leader.

I don't trust Rice to pull any of that off. I trust Kamala and Warren. And Whitmer, but it doesn't sound like she's being considered anymore.
