I’m OK with Harris. Not thrilled, but OK.
It would have been nice to get Warren. Sanders has the same age issue (though is still mentally there in interviews) as Biden, and that window has closed.

At 45, I shouldn’t still be waiting for my generation to have any level of power. AARP is coming for me in 10 years.

Independent leader whom the middle really like and even republicans respect him. Kamala will probably make him VP pick to block him but I believe with all my instinct he could/would beat Trump
Much like voting, you can join AARP at 18.

Harris is good, Pete B is a fucking fantastic politician. Great personality. Great at talking. Intelligent. Great at his job as transportation secretary. Easy on the eyes and the ears.
He’d almost be a waste as VP, because he’s doing such great stuff right now. He would be a phenomenal president. He has kids right now, so he probably won’t run. But the US and the world would be incredibly lucky to have him as a president someday.
Dude is one of those down to earth people who represents the best and brightest among us:
She doesn’t have the bona fides for the presidency, but I’d love to see Katie Porter show up to a presidential debate carrying that whiteboard.
Maybe Pete buttigeig
