2020 Democratic presidential primary

is it too much to ask for a Warren-Harris ticket? i would be so stoked

"Kamaliz"

I think there'd be enough policy differences between Warren and Harris that whichever one was the veep would be seriously chafed in that position and come to hate the idea of being veep. A personality-less non-entity like Pence is better suited to the office.

how about tim kaine for VP? he speaks spanish

who?

have we run out of boring dudes?

unlikely

the poster of michael jordan dunking from the free-throw line for VP

well screw y'all, i'm still wishing...

I would love a Warren/Harris ticket.

but seems unlikely.

Dems have a great track record on Veep picks

― never have i been a blue calm sea (collardio gelatinous),

I dont understand this at all! I have absolutely no idea why Warren would pick Harris. I think she's more likely to pick someone also from the left of the party. Kamala seems an odd choice

The other way round, I could maybe see more, Kamala picking Warren as VP, no idea if Warren would accept. VP seems a demotion for most of the candidate

warren Castro is still my a1

I suspect there's less of an ideological gulf between Warren and Harris than may appear.

all i know is that such a ticket would be a huge get-out-the-vote machine. and that both are formidable women with energy, ideas, and smarts to spare.

warren-castro is also a good shout, though i'm still learning about the latter.

I like it, but I like Harris more than a lot of folks.

castro has been tacking left on reparations and immigration, though his HUD history is not spotless. but he's not a cop!

is it too much to ask for a Warren-Harris ticket? i would be so stoked

so who would you want?

I could see Warren maybe going for someone like Ro Khanna?

Would make sense for Bernie too, but I've got a feeling he'd pick Tulsi

whyyyyyy

Bernie makes sense for VP. He can continue to be a figure without the requirement of manuevering to get real things done.

I dont think any of the major candidates are going to be VP picks for anyone with possible exception of Lego Pete

warren-sanders in any configuration would be an extremely strong ticket

warren-sanders in any configuration would be an extremely strong ticket

The only two candidates with any value, but not as a pair! Either of these work for me as P, but not as VP

Gravel teens in a trench coat for veep

i haven't seen much (or completely missed) discussion of Tulsi on ilx.

she's bad, right?

yes

Gravel teens in a trench coat for veep

like i know she's got a dicey past re social issues and some weird/ naive opinions re Assad... anything else?

"dicey" is putting is mildly. there's also this

This @BoldProgressive survey of their membership is interesting:

Warren, Buttigieg, Harris and Sanders supporters are more likely to say their candidate would be the best president.

Biden, O’Rourke and Klobuchar supporters are more likely to say their candidate would win. pic.twitter.com/Tcsuikz3ir

Klobuchar supporters? Think she can win? lol

ah yeah i did catch wind of that. thx for the link Simon.

seems like there's some horseshoe theory in action w Tulsi on soc media. lotta young (seeming) leftists and trolls(?) with p clear nationalist inclinations appear to be pretty into her.

some young leftists like her because of her rep as one of the few dovish foreign policy candidates; I gather they're either unaware of the Modi/Assad stuff or don't care. but she has a cult following at best.

the Veepier Klobuchar gets the more I enjoy her but... she has actual supporters?

no, she doesnt

all this fund-raising dick-measuring is weird and off-putting

would attend a dick-measuring fundraiser

we should have that contest on the ILX gay thread!

only if the dicks being measured are somehow doing some fundraising to pay ilx hosting costs.

bring back the statscock

stephen malkmus likes gabbard. pretty perfect, along with rivers cuomo being in the #yanggang

so baffled by p much all these veep ideas

Sanders/Winfrey

andrew yang with elon musk as veep would be epic

here's my cockamamie veep idea for sanders: a Business Person Success Story who whole-heartedly supports his program and blandly explains to rotary clubs that it's all only common sense, and sheds a tear for the proud america in which her CEO forebears made only 10x their employees' median income. "my team and I built a great company, but we didn't do it alone. now i for one don't mind paying my fair share so that the highways our trucks go out on can be repaved" ... you know.... lots of charts and graphs showing how redistribution helps The Economy. "bernie, yeah, he can raise his voice and all but if you look at The Numbers, none of what he's saying is actually all that radical..." blah blah blah... this person probably does not exist btw

sanders/gritty or gtfo imo
