      Still better than trump. Though if it was her, having Bernie or AoC as VP pick would make me much more motivated to actually vote for her and not just not trump.

        Likely DNC response: “ha, right… well look, we eased up on the Biden or Bust thing, you can’t ask us to also not pair her with a fully corporate and fully neoliberal running mate. You must understand that we just lost hundreds of millions of dollars of donations in only a few weeks of determinedly thumbing our noses at our constituents, and we’re not going to make up that kind of shortfall in five dollar donations, we’re still courting big tech and big oil, thank you very much and get lost.”

        I’d be kinda worried about pulling AoC from her district seat though, is that district a solid blue or will it flip if she vacates the seat to be a VP?

        Bernie though I highly doubt his seat would flip

      You’re not supposed to be shitting on Kamala until she gets chosen

      If you start preemptively criticizing her now, it might just produce an overall sense of hopelessness and chaos with no way out

      Oh… I see.
