I'm pretty sure the DNC and it's donors helped force this hand, so I wouldn't be surprised if they field a different candidate.
That being said, I'd actually like to see a non shill run who will actually fulfill his promises with legislation and not half ass executive orders that die after 5 seconds.
They'll never let Bernie in, but like cmon choose at least someone who can agree genocide is not good. Can't believe we're still scraping the bottom of the barrel for requirements here.
After all the shit they gave Biden about his age, do you think Bernie, who's even older, would be a good idea?
I think he meant candidates like Bernie.

Kamala/AOC ticket could win it I think
Really? I don't think AOC has a chance in hell among the voting public.
No one who was going to vote for Biden is about to vote for Trump just because Kamala is a black woman... Stop worrying what the Republicans are going to think... They were going to think that about any "lib", and it doesn't matter because they were never going to vote for a Dem. The only people we need to worry about are the young progressives who still have no one to vote FOR and might stay home because of it... Throw AOC on the ticket and a lot of them will get excited enough to show up.
I think they'll err on the side of appeasing people who are on some level uncomfortable with minorities and women and run some generic straight white man.
Yep probably... But that's the wrong move... Those people aren't about to switch to Trump just because they're uncomfortable with a black woman... Trump is just too much of a Trump you know? Like if it was Romney running as R... Then yeah, but Trump is different. The people who "always vote" are going to vote blue no matter who... It's the young progressives that need to be swayed to vote at all. And there are significantly more young people who could be swayed to show up than there are centrists who might switch to Trump instead of a black woman.
