AOC says many Democrats who want Biden to drop out don't want Harris on the ticket either

Wake me up when they make up their mind. I don't care who it is.

We all want Sanders

If only there were some sort of process we could have engaged in to select a candidate people actually want to vote for.

Is this supposed to be some sort of revelation? She didn't get anywhere in the 2020 primary. No one has any genuine enthusiasm for her. It makes no sense that she was VP in the first place.

Y'all overlooking that she's saying it has to be Harris. All the campaign funds and endorsements don't leave the campaign if Biden steps down and the baton is passed to the VP. Not true if we make this an open primary or even if we all agreed on someone else.

I want AOC on the ticket.

She added that, “I'm in these rooms, I see what they say... a lot of them are not just interested in removing the president, they are interested in removing the whole ticket."

Do it.

Mark Kelly would be an excellent candidate. His twin brother, Scott, doesn't have the political background for VP, but definitely belongs in the cabinet. Maybe Chief of Staff; maybe Sec Def.

Mark Kelly is the first proposed candidate that doesn't make me immediately "meh".

I saw this quote earlier related to this;

“To not choose her is a slap in the face to Black women,” said Melanie Campbell, chairwoman of the Power of the Ballot Action Fund, an advocacy organization focused on Black voter engagement. “You are saying to Black women that what we represent is not good enough — not only to stay with the man we voted for, but the woman that most of us advocated for, to be the vice president. You take her down, then you lose the Black women’s vote.”

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of others that I would prefer and that I think would stand a better chance of winning... but I'm not in a position to be picky at this time.

Already kinda shooting for the stars hoping for Joe to dip, why not aim for a particular one as well?

I've been screaming this at the top of my lungs to the people on lemmy this entire time. Now AOC is losing her shit warning everyone that if this happens, SCOTUS is going to be up to some dirty tricks and you won't even be able to get a candidate on the ballots fully.

You guys happy with yourselves now? I hope palestine, your "ideal candidate", and all the other garbage that doesn't affect us in the slightest was worth losing the democracy over.
