I haven't started a politics thread in a minute.
Who do we think Biden is going to pick? Tell me your thoughts.

I think it’s going to be Susan Rice or Kamala Harris, but I have no idea which of the two. Both would be great.

Chris Cuomo's wife asked Randy Rainbow to make a message for Chris's 50th birthday, and Randy did not disappoint:

This year is too weird. I take nothing for granted. All I'll say is if it is not a Black woman, I will throw a shoe through a window.

I'm listening to the Daily from Friday. Jack Dorsey (Twitter's CEO) is being interviewed and it is realllllly tense. I'm not sure if it is just the line of questioning being focused on mistakes made, but I'm not really getting a positive sense about Twitter really doing anything drastic to stop disinformation and hate on their platform.
He just asked him point-blank if he would ban 45 if he broke the rules and Dorsey said they are prepared to take action regardless of who it was. Then asked what they would do about it if 45 claimed victory before that was true in November and he sort of hedged around it. It's an area of focus to protect the integrity of conversations around elections.

I think it’ll be Rice. She has the international experience needed to fix this mess.

I think he might choose someone we're not quite expecting. Karen Bass, or Stacey Abrams. But also I'll be happy with whomever he chooses as long as she's not a white lady. I want to knooooowwwwwwwwwwww

For VP pick- I will be shocked if it’s not Rice or Harris.
I need him to release his pick so I can finally buy a yard sign. Actually, like 7 yard signs. My list of people to buy them for keeps growing. We went to my parents this weekend - they live in an “active adult” community and it looks like the Trump campaign vomited all over their neighborhood. I was horrified. My mom is horrified. I’m getting her a sign.
My neighbor across the street is flying a massive trump flag. I might see if I can outdo him on size. Could be a fun dick measuring contest. Lol

My HOA won't let us put out yard signs until a week before Election Day. I have so much FOMO.

This weekend I saw a cargo van with a Biden for President sign on the side. On closer inspection it said “settle for Biden for President”
Ouch.

I think it’s going to be Susan Rice or Kamala Harris, but I have no idea which of the two. Both would be great. I think it will be one of these too. I’m leaning toward wanting Rice for her experience, but I want Harris to be the presumptive POTUS nom in 4 years.

I want to knooooowwwwwwwwwwww I am hoping for this. I guess my number one worry is playing it safe. We really need a VP pick that brings in voters we don't already have. It's an impressive field either way and he will have my support either way.

I’m manifesting positive energy so I’m going to say Senator Harris for VP.
But there are several picks I would be happy with. Just no Senator Warren. I’ll be under the covers if that’s his pick.

I kind of feel like there isn't anything the Dem party can do to bring in voters we don't already have (that 53% of white women). I'm not sure that's the group we should be catering to.
