I’m in no hurry to hear Democrats start shitting on Biden again just because he didn’t pick their favorite.

And LORD are they gonna shit all over whoever he does pick.

Yeah, I’m in no hurry to get to that shit show.

6. That's the last thing we need. Sanders did the right thing this year and dropped out early...

so there is no repeat of the vitriol of 2016. Once the veep choice is announced we all need to coalesce behind whoever it is and move on to defeat trump.

And btw, we should take advantage of the BLM protests and the hundreds of thousands of potential, young voters who have been awakened to the need for drastic changes. We would be extremely tone deaf if we don't choose a black woman as Joe's running mate.

After all, we are the party of diversity. It's time to show it with action.

I've never heard anything negative about that, even when she was part of the House Impeachment Tem. I think she's a strong contender.

Don't let it bother you.

And btw, I'm absolutely certain we all knew. That wasn't the point.
