We are democrats. Never trust us to slit our own throats.

But yeah. This feels about as coordinated as it can be. Expect vp tomorrow

If they're smart they'll tap AOC or Bernie for VP.

Instant party unity with zero effort.

Normally I love being right....booo

Sanders gets us back to the "too old" and has the added benefit of him being historically horrible at condemning atrocities by "Communist" countries.

And AOC is too young. And also a she is of color

I don't think anyone cares if the VP is "too old" honestly. Most of the time it feels like the VP does things in the background and makes far less headlines. Case in point: Kamala Harris

I dunno, they need to give something to centrists and independents to win. Kamala's base is all totally united against trump already I think.

I'm hoping for Buttigieg for VP.
