(3,974 posts)She is from a solid blue state and doesnt help flip any swing states. Her history as a prosecutor wont help attract progressive voters.

NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)What kind of person could call themselves "progressive" and NOT throw their full support behind Biden in an effort to defeat the GOP and remove Trump from office?
Are you telling me that these "progressive" voters are thinking to themselves: "Oh, I'd like to get rid of Trump, but Biden chose Harris... and I don't like Harris all that much... so I'm just going to sit-out this election."
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
Dem4Life1102
(3,974 posts)but she doesnt help attract them either. Plus she wont help flip any swing states. There are far better choices available, none of whom accused Biden of being a racist on national television.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)But here's the thing... if a voter is actually "progressive" then they should be motivated and "attracted" enough to vote for Biden NO MATTER WHO he selected for his VP.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
Dem4Life1102
(3,974 posts)A complacent attitude willl only help Trump. Which is what happened in 16. We need a ticket that will attract as many voters as possible.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)Those on the far-left who desire to blackmail the party when they threaten to withhold their votes only causes the Democratic party to inch more toward the center and even "right-center" to find replacement voters. The non-voting left are sabotaging their own interests and forcing the party to move in the opposite direction to that which they (presumably) want.

And progressive voters aside, Harris still doesn't help flip any swing states. There are better options available.

(43,508 posts)I keep seeing this but it makes no sense. Are you saying that "progressives" don't think rapists and murderers should be prosecuted for their crimes?
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
Dem4Life1102
(3,974 posts)I was referring to her prosecution of people for weed and her role in the ouster of Al Franken doesn't help with progressives either.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
mcar
(43,508 posts)because I have seen this here and elsewhere on SM.
B. Her role in the ouster of Al Franken? What is this, another round of "the bad woman made him do it?" Really. After all this, really?
Are you seriously saying that "progressives" won't vote for the Democratic nominee, thereby handing the presidency back to the malignant narcissist in chief and turning the SCOTUS far right for the next 40 years, because Franken, or something?
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
Dem4Life1102
(3,974 posts)Allowing Trump to become President. So ignoring them has its risks.
As far as Franken, not making any commentary the case. But Harris was one of the first and very vocal advocate calling for his resignation. I have seen many on this forum, and elsewhere, state that they would never vote for Harris because of it.
We need a VP pick who will enhance the ticket. Someone who will attract progressive votes and help to flip a swing state. There are better choices than Harris to do that.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

(82,383 posts)for pursuing cases. That's up to the legislature/governor. Only they can make it legal.
I don't agree with her on Franken but I think they thought they were doing what was best for the party. I don't see Franken as a huge issue in an election against the Dotard. Who is going to fail to vote to get rid of him over Franken's issue? I would think Franken wouldn't do it himself.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
Dem4Life1102
(3,974 posts)Youre being reasonable but some wont be so reasonable.
And for some it may not be that they have anything against her (or Biden) but are just not excited about the ticket the way they were by Obama.
Plus California is a solid blue state. Harris doesnt help in flipping a swing state like Florida or North Carolina.

Susan Rice my personal favorite for VP
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
Dem4Life1102
(3,974 posts)Don't know enough about Rice. Has she run for office before? What state does she come from?
My only concern is that Rice would be an excuse for the GOP to bring up Benghazi again.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

(29,800 posts)though I am not convinced that she is culpable for that.

NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)Bidens margin at the moment isnt as large as the 9-point advantage Democrats had in the 2018 midterms. But that could reflect Sanders role in the race. Since Sanders stayed in until April 8, he could have detracted from Bidens performance against Trump up till that point. With Sanders out, some voters have a simpler choice, which could benefit Biden. Thats not a given, but Sanders is more chummy with Biden now than he was with Clinton in 2016, which could swing more of the Sanders vote toward Biden.
Lots more where this came from. Click the link and enjoy. You can relax now.

(42,862 posts)She's a strong choice. You'll come to appreciate her once the campaign gets fully underway. You'll love having her as your vice president. The time for grieving and anger and bargaining is over. It's time to accept how it's going to be.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
Dem4Life1102
(3,974 posts)Just dealing with reality. There are better choices for VP than Harris. Choices who will help to flip swing states and attract more progressives to the ticket. The only ones grieving are those who had Harris as one of their top choices and are now trying to push her for the VP spot even though it doesnt make much sense.

(3,974 posts)That GOP attack ad just writes itself.
And even forgetting that, she doesnt help to flip a single swing state. There are better choices who will.

(42,862 posts)You're going to love having her on the ticket. You'll see. It's time to let go and move on.

I'm excited to see the VP pick.
As always, Donald Trump is an idiot and an ass hat.
