I finally made a preference pick

I love Joe and Bernie, but sadly they are the past. My dream team is Warren and Buttigieg because we get a liberal leader paired with a (slightly) more centrist (relative) youth plus a blend of sexes and an actual LGBT person as opposed to just a supporter. We miss being multiracial which would have been a strike but because we elected Obama twice it is not a big deal. So that's my current thinking and I'm fairly certain my decision is firm. So if a different candidate wants my vote they're going to have to prove it. And it helps I think they're both fantastic.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

But still working out who I'd like to see as VP

I Like Buttigieg, but I also like Castro and Inslee.. IMHO, it should be Warren /Harris. I'm not all that optimistic about electing two women although I believe that day is coming.

Why is 2 men on a ticket OK but 2 women not OK?

I think it would be perfect..

But I also believe that the misogyny in this country is as rampant and as deeply seated as racism.. so, I think it is probably going to take some time.

But on the other hand, since nothing is at all normal these days, who knows? Two women on the ticket might just take the country by storm! Wouldn't that be awesome? (in the truest sense of the word) And yeah.. Tammy Duckworth as VP would be amazing..

my hope is Tammy Duckworth as VP.

She is about as straight a shooter as there is.

I really like both, and either would be good at the top of the ticket.

Saw her on Bill Moyers about 15 years ago and thought: she should run for office!

I could easily switch my support to her. Warren/Buttigieg would put me over the moon.

That way in 8 years we elect Pete as Prez, so 16 years of good progressive values to take hold.
