Who would you rather for VP
Edit: If I am violating rule please let me know I cannot see them in the Jerboa app, or advise how to please
AOC for sure.
AOC, no doubt. Harris’ manner of speaking makes me wonder, every time, if she’s drunk. It’s like she’s concentrating too hard on whether or not she sounds believable.
VP is one of the worst jobs you can have. It’s a fucking stupid job that serves no purpose. There’s already an order of succession. The VP brings less to the table than the Chief of staff and cabinet heads, which in theory and outside of the Trump administration tend to be chosen because they know how to do their jobs.
I don’t want AOC to be VP. I want her to do her job, then become a Senator who runs the fucking table on people. I want her to make Bernie and Warren look like the opening act.
So you think being a senator as opposed to the head of the Senate would be better for her. There is no rule she can’t go from VP to Senate or Congress (head of house in the future).
Or are you worried that voters would find issue with her taking a “lesser” job. Which I put in quotes because they are all among the most important in the nation. Some world even. : /
VP tends to be a pick to offset weaknesses / complement the President. Usually more important for campaigning than once in office. For example, Biden was tapped as VP because he has foreign policy experience and seniority to Obama’s lack thereof. Bush tapped Cheney because he needed a puppet master–'ya understand.
For Biden, AOC may pull progressives in more, but I suspect they’d rather appeal to black voters in all frankness.
I’ll say that if AOC has presidential ambitions, and I hope she does, then being VP is a great way to rapidly gain experience.
Look for the Sidebar, all the rules are there, notably we don’t allow self posts, news articles only.
