5. My least favorite, but I'll go with whomever she picks. Most conservative of all the choices.

Are Dems trying to appeal to people who aren't going to vote with us anyway.

The republicans sure as hell didn't pick their most liberal VP choice trying to appeal to Democrats.

Republicans have all the billionaires and huge corporations and their PACs, the supreme court and half the lower courts, the mainstream media, several of the main social media websites, and now they can have a conservative democrat on the Democratic ticket.

We liberals don't have a chance in this country. How are we ever going to right the ship that the "conservatives" have practically sunk, if we use our power trying to appeal to people who don't get it?

Having said that: I was wrong about trying to keep Biden on the ticket, so this might be as strong of a move as Harris was! So I'm not hitting on much this election. I guess I should keep my apparently too liberal ideas to myself.
