    Its definitely going to be Harris but there’s no better president-maker position than VP and VP AOC has been my pipe dream for this election. I don’t even think she’s the best progressive but I’ve joked with my friends AOC getting the VP nod right as shes turning 35 would make me believe in God.

      She is in a completely safe district meaning that there are no downsides to promoting her as VP (or Senator for that matter). I could also imagine her going the route of Governor to gain some executive experience.

      personally, I think the dems make much more hay out a process over a coronation. have the debates, let released delegates decide on a nominee. these delegates, by-and-large do represent the communities they come from.

      I have some faith that a small, politically active sub-group of our citizenry will give us back the gift of pseudo-democracy.

      p.s. someone convince them to vote by ranked choice!
