24. Neither make sense if we want to win the election

Sun Apr 26, 2020, 07:24 PM

Both come from solid blue states and won’t help flip any swing states. Neither will help attract more progressive voters to the ticket. Klobuchar won’t energize the African American vote. And from what I’ve been hearing from African American friends Harris doesn’t have a great relationship with the African American community either.

There are far better choices for VP who all put the ticket in a better position to win the election.
