Wow, no need to make this personal. /s

After seeing him on The Daily Show last night, Pete Buttigieg seems like a good pick. He has the added bonus of not requiring a special election or interim replacement.

Ah, I was hoping for something native as I access it from multiple devices. Thanks though, I'll check it out!

What theme is that? I've tried a few but they never look that good.

I hear Katie Porter is available...

In case you aren't aware, Biden just dropped out.

Bernie as VP would be a bit of a waste. VPs don't do much other than push for their leader's agenda. A younger Progressive would be great, but at this late in the game could be very risky unless they've already been tested on a national stage.

There's no need to do a second term. Just fill the gap now to win and push for more progressive policies. This set up the next generation to take over in '28.

Even though he's old, I think it'd still work. By keeping her as VP there's continuity of Biden's administration and she's ready to take over if he doesn't complete the term. He has broad appeal with Independents which will bolster their chances of winning in November.

I know he's old, but this could be a winning ticket. Keeping Harris as a compromise and continuity. Iwould instantly max out donations if he was picked. Which of course means it'll never happen...

I think it'd be fine to keep her on the ticket as VP for a compromise. That way at least there's some continuity.

But you were already going to vote, right?

The problem is that we need a candidate that draws in people that either weren't going to vote or would vote for someone else instead.

Incoming 'health concern'? 🤔
