    Gretchen Whitmer but my parents are still wishing for Klobuchar to get somewhere in WH proximity so I’ll mention her too.

    Jayapal would be hilarious just for how thoroughly a fuck you it would be to the far right to have two WoC on the ticket and then for them to go on and win.

    Trump does so good in the debate it backfires and achieves an entirely new level of the kind of social advancement that he rode the backlash into office on in the first place XD.

      I would love Amy Klobuchar but you know they aren’t going to do a double women ticket. Same logic against Gretchen Whitmer. I want MN governor Tim Walz but I haven’t heard his name mentioned anywhere.

      Patton Oswalt did a bit while back that called trump the “racist’s pallette cleanser” after Obama, and honestly I think he might have been onto something. Racists got loud and yelled for 8 years with Obama, and Patton’s thought is that they rallied for one last hoopla and got Trump elected. That it was needed for this one last racist brigade before we finally normalized PoC and women in the White House.

      I think it also woke us up to the fact that they’re still here, and they need to be shunned. Loudly.

        Forget shunning, I say get the baseball bats out and stop pretending they need anything but percussive maintenance on their obviously misfiring cranium.

          I’m not one for violence at all. But I am done being quiet about it. Time for them to know their views are a vocal minority, and I’m done being silent.

    Gov Shapiro, Gov Whitmire, Sen Kelly. The first two probably get their state off the contested map. I don’t know if Kelly can deliver AZ.

      As far as I’ve heard, nobody seems to hate Shapiro. Of course, they only vote red in rural PA, but in-betweeners would likely side with him.

          Not really, at best it’s legally debatable but I feel like the 12th and 22nd amendments make it pretty clear.

          12th says if you’re ineligible for president, you’re ineligible for VP And 22nd says you can’t be elected more than twice.

              You were correct if it goes the other way round, you start as a Veep who takes over.

              I’d love Michelle but she can’t pull the swing states. Let’s elect Kamala and then put Michelle in the SCOTUS. Barack too, why not? Get some work out of those two fine minds.

    Stacey Abrams managed to flip Georgia, and has a similar background (legal) and views as Harris… They’d probably make an awesome team.

      As you recently said, I “vigorously disagree”.

      Dude is literally a CIA/McKinsey operative. Do you also think that corrupt corporatists Neera Tanden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer are also excellent?

          He was a McKinsey operative that was sent to Afghanistan for reasons that just so happens to also be a high ranking member of the Air Force. It’s basically impossible that he WASN’T working with the CIA when he was sent to Afghanistan as a military-affiliated McKinsey representative.

          If you’re still confused or doubtful about this connection, you should know that CIA agents aren’t always getting into gun fights and car chases like in movies. They are also part of setting up puppet governments like Afghanistan and assassinating rulers who won’t play ball.

          Read Confessions of an Economic Hitman to find out what CIA does around the world in partnership with the world bank and a cadre of US corporations.

              If you fail to see a problem with the US meddling with political violence, setting up puppet governments around the world, quashing populist movements, you have absolutely no moral compass much like CIA agent Pete Buttigieg.

                I think you either have unrealistic expectations, a lack of understanding of history, a lack of understanding of how the US economy has worked for 80 years, or possibly all of the above.

                  I think you are utterly programmed, insipid, and morally bankrupt.

                  The only way you wouldn’t have a problem with any of this is if you literally work as a government contractor, making weapons that liquify innocent children.

                  Have a great day tech bro. Karma is a real thing.
