In reply to the discussion: I think the Biden doing an early VP pick is a lot of hot air [View all]still_one

What we don't need is someone who appoints three people to high positions in HIS campaign who voted for Jill Stein in the general election in 2016.
David Sirota, Nina Turner, and Briahna Joy Gray
and worse, they took to the public airwaves, newspapers, and social media and encouraged people NOT to vote for the Democratic nominee in 2016, including the day before the general election
Sanders interview in 2016 with the Daily News demonstrates just how inadequate he is:

as long as Sanders is running, I want Joe Biden in the race, and from all the polls it appears so do most DEMOCRATS
I wonder if those self-identified progressive who refused to vote for the Democratic nominee in the 2016 general election going to play the same game in 2020 if they don't get their way and vote for Jill Stein or the Green Party candidate?
It didn't take much either, just enough. In those critical swing states the Democratic nominee lost by LESS THAN 1%. In each of those states Jill Stein received 1% of the vote.
Every Democrat voting for Senate in those critical swing states lost to the establishment, incumbent, republican, and those Democrats were progressive by any standard.
We don't need a divisive person who appoints people who voted for Jill Stein in the general election in 2016. We'll see how that works out for him.
