The backlash from base voters who very explicitly demanded a Black woman as VP (and on the Court) as our “seat at the table” in exchange for our electoral organizing…whew, you are not prepared.
But almost all of the white alternatives are, and it’s why they keep saying no.
by choosing anyone other than harris to replace biden should he decide to step aside, the party would be revealing they very cynically chose her as veep for optics without believing she could actually be president.
I will say it again: the Dems can never again win with a white/white or male/male ticket. Those days are over. They literally ended in ‘96, the last time a ticket like that won for them.
Give Kamala the nom and then pick whatever white guy they need as VP.
Liking this for Harris. Pete's best future is going to be shuffled off to various Cabinet positions in several Democratic administrations like the male Elizabeth Dole he is.
