    There is zero reason to throw a moderate on there.

    Run a fair primary and number 2 gets first right if refusal for vice.

    If they don’t want it, let the candidate pick their running mate.

      They just need a candidate that can get 100m votes. Like it should not be hard in the age of stolen data to pick a person who can get 100m people off the couch. I don’t care what the Democrats like at this point. If we can’t figure out a candidate and policy that will invigorate 100,000,000 people we don’t even deserve to be running.

      can you get 1/3 of the country to vote against fascism? challenge: impossible

      • We know the DNC leadership is interested more in keeping control of their half of the duopoly than winning elections.

        They will never allow a leftist to run.

          AOC isn’t that leftist anymore. Years of washington have certainly made her more bearable to moderates. I came around to her a long time ago, she’s an excellent speaker and very intune with the issues.

      I mean VP in recent history is there to balance the ticket. If the presidential candidate is weak in one area, they pick a VP strong in that area. Sometimes the VP is just to lock in a competitive state.

      The winner picks the VP. If number 2 works well, great, but the winner picks.
