Gretchen Whitmer would be the best choice. She's Governor, so she already has executive experience. She's Governor of Michigan which will be a highly contested state this coming election, so having someone from a rust belt state would be beneficial to that area, and right now her popularity is up due to the pandemic.

I've heard speculation that the plan is for Biden to pick Hillary as his running mate, then resign shortly after he wins the election. We should take this prediction with a massive grain of salt.

Speaking of, who would you like to see as Biden's running mate?

Whoever you heard that from is pants on head, huffing paint fumes insane.

I think we've finally found something on which we agree here, niam.

Stacy Abrams is my pick.

So, in the last few days, Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have all endorsed Joe Biden as President.  So it appears the Dem Party is uniting behind him...

Unfortunately, THAT portion of Bernie fans (you know the ones) have apparently decided that this is a bridge too far; they're now calling Bernie a traitor and Warren a snake (still), and they're uniting behind, of all people, Briahna Joy Gray, who's mad because Bernie canned her...

Briahna Joy Gray is a pedophile? Source?

Or did you mean someone else?

Apparently one of the reasons she was let go by Bernie was she supported a pedo.  Or is a pedo.  I never got a straight answer.  Regardless, she's not exactly Sander's favorite person as he refereed to her as his FORMER press secretary.

Ironbite-with a massive emphasis on Former

I can't find a source on that anywhere. I can see other reasons why Sanders would let her go, but on that one specifically I can't find anything.

EDIT: I suspect it's far more the case that since Sanders wants to throw the weight of his organization behind Biden's bid for the presidency; Joy Gray refuses to support Biden; hence Joy Gray is now a hindrance to Sanders' aims.

Believe it or not, we’re the majority of the country which is why both the Republicans and the Democrats do ‘their best’ to court our votes...

Found this little tidbit by a Bernie supporter on Tumblr. "Believe it or not we're the majority of the country". And I'm sure if they had to explain why Bernie's lost twice now, they'll come up with a laundry list of excuses why they don't vote.

I mean, when your primary credential for being part of a campaign is that you start fights with anyone who doesn't tow the line on Twitter, you're a hindrance in the first place. Words cannot fairly describe just how awful of a hire Joy Gray was.

Can I just facepalm?  This is NOT helping, and it's coming from a Dem candidate for Congress, which makes it worse...

Ah, fuck, that guy. The guy who's trying to primary Pelosi by appealing to the Bernie or Busters who think she's just as right wing as the Republicans. I can't say I'm surprised that he's jumping on the #DropOutBiden train.

Also, after four years of people saying "hey, maybe we shouldn't armchair diagnose Trump with mental illness," where the hell are those people pointing out how many people have been armchair diagnosing Biden?

And I see support from the usual suspects; Briahna Joy Gray, David Sirota, Shaun King, Peter Daou and of course, fucking Susan Sarandon.  Haven't you done enough damage yet, Susan?  Still think if Hilary was President things would be much worse?

And I'm sorry, but at this point I see that the source is the Intercept and react the same way as I do when I see the source is Fox News or Breitbart...

Dems just cancelled the New York Primary.

Ironbite-time for the Bernie Bros Outrage Machine to start up but is anyone really paying attention to the Democrat Primary?
