Voidler 1,675 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I think the VP pick should be Warren She is the only one who will bring an actual voting bloc with her to the ticket. Black women are already all on-board for Biden, which is what Kamala or Rice would bring Warren would bring in a chunk of progressives who are vocally not supporting a vote for Biden now. Although some Bernie fans are salty at her, she would consolidate a large amount of the left wing of the party and youth vote for Biden Link to post Share on other sites

Alphonse★ 454 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 They know it has to be one, with how shit is going down in this country right now. Too bad that it will likely be that snake, Kamala. Link to post Share on other sites

Which is stupid for the reasons I mentioned. Thats a part of the voting base already secured. The youth, latinos and swing voters are the biggest risks not to vote Realistically Bernie is the best choice if they wanted to win, but Biden has locked himself into a female VP now Edited August 2, 2020 by Voidler Link to post Share on other sites

Putting a black woman in won't help Biden, it will turn moderates off because of the blatant nature of the forced identity politics at play. Link to post Share on other sites

Good thing he didn't say that he is specifically choosing a black woman, but instead that there are black women on the list of possible candidates... So there goes your "if" because he didn't say it.

He's going to pick a woman of color because it's a politically opportunistic thing to do. So first you claimed it was identity politics if he said he was going to pick a black person and that argument didn't pan out for you because hr didn't say that. Now you pivoted to basically saying it doesn't matter if he said it or not.... it would be identity politics if he happens to chose a black person....
