"Meanwhile, a YouGov/Economist nationwide poll of Democratic voters found “one woman emerges as a clear choice: Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren,” who “leads in every age group, and with both men and women.” She also happens to be the sixth most popular Democrat in the United States — you’re fifth! — and the most popular woman in the party."

Forget the argument about her Senate seat. It has never been more important to have strong leadership at the Executive level.

1. We need a younger VP. Nt

2. I love Warren, but

I think Biden would be better served by picking a woman of color and/or somebody younger.

[JenniferJuniper]

3. As he's boxed himself in with the promise

it will be a woman, he should pick the best one available. And IMO, that's Warren.

[NewJeffCT]

4. Will Warren help Biden turn out

persons of color and/or young voters in bigger numbers? Yes, she will help with the progressive wing of the party, but young voters seemed to like Bernie and Buttigieg and African Americans heavily supported Biden. Bernie did will with Hispanic voters.

5. She's a pit bull

And we need a pit bull. An intelligent, articulate one.

And yes, she does cover a lot of progressive ground that Bernie previously did.

[Marrah_Goodman]

13. I think she would absolutely bring in more voters

[GemDigger]

6. We need someone young enough to do 12 years.

4 as VP and 8 as prez.

[crickets]

8. I like that line of thinking. nt

[HarlanPepper]

7. Warren's great.

But fuck The Intercept. It’s amazing people consider a propaganda arm of the Putin govt. a news source.

[yellowwoodII]

10. I didn't know that Putin controlled The Intercept

I don't "follow' The Intercept, but it comes upon my timeline from time to time, and I have often liked what it says. And I read from sources that are wide enough that I don't think I'm easily convinced by propaganda.
So if Putin is right sometimes, so be it.
Couldn't be much more wrong than our present leadership, could it?

[HarlanPepper]

12. What in your view has Putin been right about?

Also, what do you mean by “right”?

14. Thank you.. I was going to say.. "The Intercept"?

No thanks.. greenwald is one of 3 founding members. You know the gaslighting idiot who denied Russian interference in our GE Election.

9. That Sounds Great!!! Scott Brown Disaster Scenario Part Deux

we've been down this road and the Scott Brown disaster cost this country greatly as it reduced Democratic control below cloture

[BluesRunTheGame]

11. He should pick a pleasant but otherwise uninspiring centrist who's first impulse is...

...to protect the interests of big pharma, insurance companies, and the banks.

16. What are you talking about?! the little hidey thing isn't helping.

[Dem4Life1102]

15. Warren would help to attract more progressive voters to the ticket.

However, she comes from a solid blue state and won't help flip swing states like Florida or North Carolina. She also won't energize the African American vote. These factors will need to be weighed when choosing the VP candidate.
