Whoa, really? Is there somewhere I can verify this?

This has to be verified. Like if this is true, then this can be one of the main messages. No?

It's a terrible message for trying to convert ex-republican independents. It's not Trump's welfare policies they object to.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes, that would make no sense for that. It would make total sense to energise the people. Democrats don't need to convert anyone to win, they just need to get people to vote.

I think in swing states the numbers are close enough that you need to do both. Dems will vote if they're afraid enough of Trump. It's the undecideds they need to sway.

Am I crazy to think he'd be a great VP pick?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Crazy? No. The timing and optics would be wrong since Sanders wouldn't help Harris' campaign play to its advantages. Finding younger candidates with consistent and (hopefully) progressive records, who aren't currently targets for the Right, and who hold little political baggage, is a better play.

By the same reasoning I think Newsom and Buttigieg aren't good picks even though they'd do well in the role. The new Dem Pres campaign should make sure the Right's propagandists have to work hard at effective attack ads. Running any Left-Wing Face misses this initiative.

For context: I'm still bitter about Bernie being pushed out of previous Presidential campaign runs, still think he was the best choice both times, and know he'd make a great VP.

She needs to find her Biden just like Obama did

I don't think that is how statistics work.. but ok.

Coconut? Is she from Hawaii?

Her dad is Carribbean.

Her dad is Jamaican- American, her mom is Indian

Closer than Bernie himself?

She isn't very charismatic though, so it'll be hard to win with her as the DNC primary

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

"Biden is too old and incoherent. He will lose."

"Harris is not charismatic. She will lose."

Can't wait to hear why whoever it is will lose if for some reason it isn't Harris.
