I see no reason to make an effort to attract them.

Progressives in 2016 knew that Trump was incompetent fool and needed no outside motivation to get them to the polls and vote for Hillary. Fake progressives didn't give a shit if Trump won.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Pete can be Kamala's running mate in 2024. Walleye Mar 2020 #14

Not for me. But I'd like to get through this election first. LakeArenal Mar 2020 #16

Rice for VP, Harris for SCOTUS padfun Mar 2020 #4

Obama for S.C. LakeArenal Mar 2020 #6

8. I like that. Either one. padfun Mar 2020 #10

I fear that if Rice were the choice, it would be Benghazi Benghazi 24/7 from the FailureToCommunicate Mar 2020 #17

Benghazi is a dead dog, in my opinion, and will not hunt. WheelWalker Mar 2020 #52

No hunting dog ever dies for Republicans, even dead ones will continue hunting Hunter Biden. sop Mar 2020 #80

Our vice presidential field has vastly more depth than the presidential field Awsi Dooger Mar 2020 #28

Congresswoman Val Demings from Florida FM123 Mar 2020 #11

OK. Which one can you see being a really top-notch House of Roberts Mar 2020 #12

Love Kamala happybird Mar 2020 #15

You could probably throw a dart and hit a good VP pick BidenBacker Mar 2020 #18

Good one! Turin_C3PO Mar 2020 #95

It will be Amy. ElementaryPenguin Mar 2020 #19

Amy might be too "moderate" a ticket BidenBacker Mar 2020 #20

Actually BidenBacker Mar 2020 #22

He doesn't need Rice dansolo Mar 2020 #39

Rice doesn't have a law degree (yes I know it is not needed, but the odds are so low of that Celerity Mar 2020 #21

For me it was between Klobuchar and Harris. My wife comradebillyboy Mar 2020 #23

Wives everywhere would like Klobuchar Awsi Dooger Mar 2020 #27

Do you have evidence for those assertions? ZZenith Mar 2020 #30

Wtf? MrsCoffee Mar 2020 #43

I don't agree, Turin_C3PO Mar 2020 #96

Very satisfying to be able to vote for Kamala Harris chia Mar 2020 #24

Just to throw a dark horse candidate out there... SKKY Mar 2020 #25

I'm hoping he has Sally Yates slotted as AG dansolo Mar 2020 #40

That would be the obvious choice, for sure... SKKY Mar 2020 #45

Kick. EOM TruckFump Mar 2020 #26

How about Tammy Duckworth? Bayard Mar 2020 #29

ITA about Duckworth. (eom) StevieM Mar 2020 #32

someone other than former candidates quickesst Mar 2020 #31

Tammy Duckworth. (eom) StevieM Mar 2020 #33

yes !I'm glad you brought Tammy's name up. RicROC Mar 2020 #34

Tammy Duckworth is Asian-American. (eom) StevieM Mar 2020 #35

She would be an excellent choice Jose Garcia Mar 2020 #93

Wait, what? Not a single vote for Bloomberg? Bucky Mar 2020 #36

Harris doesn't make much sense Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #37

Warren was my choice for Prez Sucha NastyWoman Mar 2020 #38

She would definitely help with progressives Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #46

We progressives already support Biden Kaleva Mar 2020 #41

Not in enough numbers Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #47

You are talking about the fake progressives Kaleva Mar 2020 #83

Maybe so Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #84

I'd rather spit in their faces. Figuratively speaking of course. Kaleva Mar 2020 #88

I understand your feelings Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #91

i love all the ladies listed but Kamala by far is the best fit for Joe onetexan Mar 2020 #42

Great post. MrsCoffee Mar 2020 #44

Excellent first two points. Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #50

i respectfully disagree, experience is always important, but esp'ly in this election onetexan Mar 2020 #51

If experience mattered Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #54

Each of those past elections had many other factors that heavily influenced the elections onetexan Mar 2020 #55

Nor does it make sense to claim Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #56

LOL i can see this is going nowhere so let's just agree to disagree onetexan Mar 2020 #57

You mean Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #63

oh stop the BS. At this point u're just trying to egg me on. Not wasting my time. Adios. onetexan Mar 2020 #64

No I'm pointing out Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #66

Sorry, but today, in this dangerous climate, all bets are off. Experience equals stability. Ninga Mar 2020 #60

Show me an example Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #62

Show me an election that had the exact dynamics we are experiencing now. All bets off, means Ninga Mar 2020 #67

No election has the same dynamics as another Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #68

"Experience doesn't matter" is a ludicrous assertion. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #76

Show an example in any election that it did. Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #81

You made the assertion. Your responsibility to support it with evidence. LanternWaste Mar 2020 #89

If experience mattered Trump wouldn't be President Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #90

Yes!!! spicysista Mar 2020 #61

Agree with all points, plus it will be fun watching her debate Pence (if he's still on the ticket). PunkinPi Mar 2020 #65

that would be quite a fun debate to watch her drag him thru the mud wouldn't it? onetexan Mar 2020 #69

Yes it would. PunkinPi Mar 2020 #71

Val Demings needs to be in that list. honest.abe Mar 2020 #49

She's a first time Rep! Bayard Mar 2020 #77

That is an issue but she has a interesting background that could play well to voters. honest.abe Mar 2020 #79

Some people seem to think black women are all interchangeable, and it's sad. nt PunkinPi Mar 2020 #85

I'm for Val Demings, too, but Kamala Harris or Stacey Abrams would also be wonderful. LaMouffette Mar 2020 #53

Not just a Harley rider. Val also had the badge to go with one! FailureToCommunicate Mar 2020 #70

Great picture! LaMouffette Mar 2020 #74

Belated welcome to DU! FailureToCommunicate Mar 2020 #82

Thank you! LaMouffette Mar 2020 #86

VP must have legislative experience and a history of understanding the dynamics of Ninga Mar 2020 #58

There are a few, like Harris and Klobuchar, who might well do better in... TreasonousBastard Mar 2020 #59

Biden/Harris or Harris/Biden has been my pick from the beginning. Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #72

Michelle Obama n/t Odoreida Mar 2020 #73

Any discussion of Biden's VP should consider the real possibility of Nikki Haley as Trump's VP. honest.abe Mar 2020 #75

Warren would be a nice choice, but Tammy Baldwin is younger mvd Mar 2020 #94

Harris is pretty progressive, too. Turin_C3PO Mar 2020 #97

She's another good choice mvd Mar 2020 #98
