I c

its like when McCain picked Palin, he needed to salt of the earth proto-tea party types she represented

That comparison makes me think Biden has less of a chance than I thought before

Palin being stupid was astroturfed by media, harris wouldnt get the same treatment

True

I'm not sure harris has that much pull despite ticking the POC box. I put this down to not being 'black enough'.

Palin is a grifter

She tried to co-opt the tea party

Black ice was saying Harris isn’t about POC it’s about white women

Want to look progressive but don’t want progressive policy

The dems are def going to pick a disastrous pander-vp like the gop did in 2008 with palin

Also, I'm not sure whether a POC VP is even needed with the POC turnout Biden generates, his being VP for Obama has already sealed his credentials for blacks.

Ah. I misread.

How big is Biden’s black support compared to Hillary?

I think they're going to make it a woman

Yeah, it'd be a nice little placation for the white prog crowd.

I don't think it will be warren harris or hrc

She will probably be dark skinned

AWFL fall all over themselves to performative elevate 'PoC'

Ye

Nina Turner or w/e is like their new pet project

Nina Turner is too fringe for AWFLs

They don't want someone who said Nancy Pelosi should stop being speaker

They want someone who votes like Maxine Waters but isn't as immediately mockable for being a total neoliberal

Imagine a black, less obnoxious version of Warren

Right

It wont be anyone from the lefty squad

They're all anti-israel and that wont fly

Is Stacey abrams possible?

Possible

Biden coordinating with her, being from Alabama for a North-South unity ticket

That could potentially activate black turnout even more.

They usually try to tap someone from a swing state for vp

And totally part of the voting like a neolib while talking progressive line (at least on public VS. private schools)

Biden is already from PA so that might disrupt the trend

You just know they're trying their hardest to find someone lgbt

Not pete tho

They want either a masculine gay or a lipstick 'lesbean'

A leftist Jack Donovan or a more liberal Camile Paglia

I haven't seen raw numbers but I'm sure Biden has more of the black vote secured than Hillary did. The dem base feels especially comfortable voting for him since he doesn't have the baggage Hillary has, also he appeals to a pretty broad electorate, being seen as a blue dog democrat, a moderate bordering on conservative that can work across the aisle while passing some progressive policies along the way, returning the white house to sanity and dignity. Which is how he was able to sweep Alabama and more moderate states, and then most white prog dems would vote for him purely to remove Trump and they have high turnout rates being mostly the highly educated cohort among dems.
