If he picks someone who has a strong anti crime background, a perfectly fine background, but one that RUSSIAN TROLLS lie about, support them anyway.
Hey, did you know who started the phrase "corporate democrat?" Or who used it when most people had not heard of it or who resurrected it 4 to 5 years ago?
And why?
I will let you google that for yourself so I cant be accused of anything here, sigh. When you google it add urban dictionary to the search.
So how about we dont hear any of that nonsense as well!
I know, lets pretend that your/our VERY LIVES depends on it, okeedokee?

(10,833 posts)I'm A-okay with any of these VP contenders, even though I have my favorites. This is Biden's choice and he'll get my vote regardless of the final reveal.

(53,410 posts)I hope shes black because if god were to used flashing giant neon arrows to bring our attention to the most urgent issue in this particular time it would be systemic racism. So yeah, lets deal with racism right from the top! Lets shatter that glass ceiling forever!
But if shes not black Ill support her too.

The VP will be awesome and whoever takes their place in their previous office will be awesome.

I'm confident that a pledge is August will be simple to sustain through Nov. 3.

(9,651 posts)I totally trust Joe Biden. Always have, always will.
As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter who he chooses for VP. I'm voting for him. Period.

(2,455 posts)and would go as far to say that any one criticizes Joe or his VP should be dog piled and treated as a troll.
I made the pledge during the primaries.....
Trolls will sneak in here, subtly...... and we can't take any chances of letting ANYTHING divisive sink in here.
I know I will be the first to point when someone(s) is doing this....
We have to stay united!
Eliot Rosewater
(31,112 posts)and his employees in the GOP...
I consider people who do that now as my enemy.

(81,323 posts)I'm already there. I like ALL the prospectives. Each one of 'em has lots of points in her favor. Each one of them would bring honor, dignity, an impressive resume of accomplishments, and a serious mind to the VP job. Each one of them LIGHTYEARS better than the whitest-white-guy-in-the-world who's in there now.

(25,544 posts)establishment-rigged-elites-donor class-Wall Street-milquetoast-centrist-vote my conscience-billionaires-speak truth to power-incrementalism-identity politics-oligarchy-lesser of two evils-FDR-both sides bullshit insults of Democrats that trolls flooded the internet with, smirking, and people were dumb enough to believe. There aren't public figures out there claiming the Democratic Party is corrupt and a greater roadblock to progress than Republicans and that nobody has said health care is a human right and Republican voters aren't racist, just economically insecure, and all the other massively stupid crap.
Will never forgive anyone who repeated those lies.
Not looking forward to all the "concern" posts, but better than the moronic scripted buzzwords.
Eliot Rosewater
(31,112 posts)liberal repeat the "corporate democrat" phrase.
AT which point I showed her how that is a russian troll phrase.
Does not matter to them, they are as badly brainwashed by russian and gop as the gop voters are in this area.
betsuni
(25,544 posts)and only think about money, care nothing for the working and middle classes -- why aren't the Establishment Clintons (Clinton Machine) and Obamas sipping champagne and nibbling caviar wearing furs and jewels on their private islands and private yachts with billionaire donor class friends laughing at poor people? Why are they still working for the good of society? The Clinton Foundation does things like save lives with affordable medicine and fund solar-powered buses. They took Hillary Clinton, a liberal do-gooder Methodist policy wonk who remembers everyone's birthdays, and turned her into Satan.
What I really is hate is how people are still doing the: "Presidents Clinton and Obama had two years each of slight majorities in the legislature so WHY DIDN'T THEY FIX EVERYTHING?!"

(8,301 posts)If it isn't already clear I am kidding. Although my preferred choices in order are Bass, Whitmer, Duckworth, Warren, Demings, Rice and Harris.
GO JOE!!!!! ALL WOULD BE INCREDIBLE!!!
Eliot Rosewater
(31,112 posts)want it and would never be offered it.
If Bernie will just go out of his way to go to any and all social media and news outlets to AGGRESSIVELY tell his supporters to VOTE for Joe that would be great.
jorgevlorgan
(8,301 posts)Doesn't have the common sense to vote out fascism is a complete moron anyways.... but I have noticed that a lot of the facebook progressive groups I follow have a lot more people vocally supporting biden than Hillary in 2016. Sexism is real.

(22,913 posts)We can discuss those constructively in February. Whatever those may be, Joe Biden is a good man, and he will pick a good woman as his running mate. But even if he stuck a pin into a phone book and thereby picked someone with less than sterling credentials for VP, our impending Democratic ticket has my absolute full support.
Agreed, not one negative word about our ticket before Trump is ousted. But knowing Biden and who he is considering, I expect to offer plenty of praise.

(756 posts)No. I don't join cults. Let's support VP Biden and his choice, but we are allowed to express differences and disagreements. Flame on. Of course I know the flamers will be precisely those who most excoriate Trump supporters for the very same uncritical GROUPTHINK advocated here. Two wrongs don't make a right.
