We have seen post after post that the reason Warren didn't succeed was due to systemic misogyny.

If we truly believe that such misogyny is so prevalent that a woman couldn't win the Democratic nomination, how in god's name can we expect that one could win on the national ticket?

I just think Mayor Pete or Klobuchar would be better pairing with Biden and are a little more charismatic.

That being said, I'm not sure who I'd put as my fourth choice, there is a huge drop off in my mind after these three.

I think Harris would clean up Justice and the Executive Branch.

And Warren as Secretary of Education.

I do think we need a younger woman as VP. Maybe Klobuchar.

Pete should run for Senate but I guess this is a cycle when there is no IN Senate election so bring him into the Cabinet.

I feel Pete and Stacey Abrams are not quite ready for VP or Pres.
