Is Harris electable? I don't really know much about her.
Oof, good question. I think it'll ultimately be a boring, non-controversial white guy. So I could very quickly eat my own words because Shapiro fits that bill. The 2 that seem to be picking up steam are the governors of Kentucky (Andy Bashear) and North Carolina (Roy Cooper). Also Mark Kelly from Arizona. They're all fairly centrist and have won in Republican leaning or "purple" states which should theoretically help in the battleground states.Who do you think can deliver? Who's your money on?
Buttigieg, whilst very good with his mouth (:)) would be too much for the Country to deal with, personally I think he’s one of the most eloquent and well rounded people out there, but to add gay to coloured would literally pop most people’s minds.Oof, good question.

I can't see them pairing someone from the same state (California, so Newsome or someone of that ilk) or - and as stupid as this sounds and I absolutely hate that this may play into it - another woman (Whitmer), someone of color (Wes Moore from Baltimore who received some fanfare after the bridge fiasco) or Buttigieg, because he is gay and unfortunately doesn't poll well with some key demographics the dems will need to win. Which is a bummer because I'd prefer someone younger and exciting with good ideas, which I think Moore and Buttigieg generally are.
I agree, unfortunately :/Buttigieg, whilst very good with his mouth (:)) would be too much for the Country to deal with, personally I think he’s one of the most eloquent and well rounded people out there, but to add gay to coloured would literally pop most people’s minds.
Relieved is probably right.Maddow sounds relieved on MSNBC
I think in the main, the people who would refuse to vote for a black woman/gay man ticket over a 78 year old racist, sexual abuser, convicted felon and wannabe dictator aren't likely to ever vote Democrat anyway.I agree, unfortunately :/
