I've been hearing for 2 years: "I don't want to choose between two old white guys".

[Pototan]

Now you have the choice of a highly qualified young woman of color.

I think Kamala Harris will beat Donald Trump. I think she shores up our base and incentivizes the very demographics we need to win, while touting an Administration of accomplishments.

I, for one, am all on board and thank President Biden for all he has done for America.

1. This!

Harris-Whitmer!

[Pototan]

3. I really like Roy Cooper for VP

It puts North Carolina in play and balances the ticket. But I'll go with whoever they choose.

[calguy]

4. Nothing wrong with Cooper, but Whitmer puts Michigan in the bag and helps shore up Wisconsin

Shapiro does the same with Pennsylvania and the entire rust belt.

I personally think Whitmer is the best choice, but it's not my choice to make.

[Pototan]

7. the more I think about it, I may like Shapiro more

He's articulate, knowledgeable, young and energetic.

He doesn't have much experience, but the same as Vance.

8. Cooper or Shapiro are the best choices.

Cooper is term limited, so people may see it as better to choose him, instead of giving up the PA gov mansion. But PA may be viewed as so crucial that they'd have to pick Shapiro. They'd need to poll this out/focus group it fully.

9. Whitmer would be great, but the worry would be

that it's so difficult to get one woman elected - two would be a bridge too far.

2. The republican response on X is telling-

They sound absolutely terrified. They're grasping at any straw and the only thing they seem to have come up with is "Kamala Harris didn't stop Joe Biden sooner". This is their worst case scenario, they know this puts a nail in the Trump campaign's coffin.

6. Fingers crossed that it's the nail in TSF's coffin. n/t

[Cosmocat]

15. They will do what they do

Throw $hit at the wall until the media and inattentive "middle" give in and legitimize some bullshit like they did here, Hillary, Dean, Kerry, Gore ... the friggen flagpin and reverend with BHO.

Not saying K can't win, just saying she is going to have to rise above some stupid BS like every other Democrat.

[Doodley]

5. She wins a lot of votes that were previously "none of the above."

[betsuni]

10. Will be interesting, if there's another excuse, a "but ... ."

I'm still pessimistic, so expecting excuses.

[JI7]

11. I an already see "if it was Michelle instead of Kamala"

Like the ones claiming if it was Warren instead of Hillary but then they didn't support Warren when she did run .

[betsuni]

13. Swore up and down they'd vote for progressive hero Warren and the second she ran was "Hillary 2.0" "capitalist"

and the "I'd vote for a woman for president, just not THAT woman (Hillary "Satan" Clinton)" flew out the window because of all the new buts about Warren. Don't think she expected that..

[Pototan]

12. At least we are answering the call

for real change. There's just so much at stake, I can't imagine why so many Americans choose to remain uninformed.

[betsuni]

14. But what is the real change? Still the same party, same policies.

They'll still whine about "status quo."

[Pototan]

16. The change is age

If anyone's only complaint is "two old white guys", Kamala Harris is the exact opposite.

A young woman of color. If the person has another excuse, I can't help that.

I agree. Sometimes racists don't want to say they're for Trump because they like his racism, so they look for another excuse. But maybe, just maybe, there are persuadable voters who do agree with our policies, but want a new generation of leaders, especially younger voters.

[betsuni]

17. Age was an excuse.Harris will be attacked for "status quo" "capitalist" same old lesser of two evils crap.
