I think Bernie is running a "push Joe left" campaign. He knows what we know. He's running out the clock.
I think it's interesting the contrast of Biden pledging to pick a woman VP (there are a lot of strong choices) and Bernie being forced to say that he might pick a woman maybe (he surrounds himself with the worst people, women included).
What a disaster if things had turned out differently in SC.

So, I don't super follow politics so I only really know Warren and Harris as potential female VP choices (I know of others like Abrams and Duckworth, but don't really know anything about them). I would be fine with either Warren or Harris (with a preference to Warren given that I liked her enough to root for her to be president though I did favor Harris a bit early on).
I know that feel. I mean, not quite the same thing, but got an ad for Gary Peters Republican opponent (since I live here in Michigan).
Instant mute.
bernie going all in on this.
i don't like to give out credit for everything.
My Cuban-Ecuadorian girlfriend's reaction to Bernie in this section:
facts are facts!
I cannot get over why Bernie keeps stepping on this Castro rake. Why do we need to praise Castro's literacy program? Who fucking cares about trying to parse this nuance? This is so stupid.
Sure, but does Bernie actually believe that a President Biden would advocate for Social Security cuts? Of course he wouldn't and he knows that. It's an obvious tactic at trying to win 65+ voters.
For some reason when we all know the facts in the room we have to continue to keep playing politics.
Sorry I should have put "sarcasm" - he could have finally recognized its a bad idea, but he double and tripled down and then started ranting and raving
Girl, me too. My husband came running cause he thought I hacked up a lung or something. I was cackling.
Oh okay. lol
I was like "He praised Castro again" and my husband went "Of course he did."
Warren will never be Vice President. It would be actively detrimental to winning in November.
Bernie cornering himself into saying "but Cuba and China are good" is not something I saw coming...lol.
Not keeping the senate is the deal breaker on Warren and I'm a big supporter. I think she could be a great outside asset for the Biden admin.
Also, nobody gives a shit about the VP on policy. Warren would be useless.
Kamala makes the perfect wingman. She can deliver the president's agenda to voters with force, charm, or gravitas as required.
It's not the safest pick, but I think she'll do a great job with it.
Bernie should have just stopped after "Not me".
NYT story makes it obvious that he didn't win a number of primary state demographics specifically because he didn't even try or could fund it. The flex that Biden won states he didn't even step in always sits uncomfortably with me in the face of what will be some assault from the GOP coffers. Biden's going to have to make up that ground and outreach where he didn't bother before.
The dismissive answers always make it seem like the party is willing to take things for granted.

Moderator: Why do you think latino people are not embracing your campaign?"
Joe: "I won black people in South Carolina! I won them by 70 percent in Virginia!"

Why? The Mariana Islands had 132 TOTAL votes and a +2 delegate gain for Sanders. Its irrelevant.
Bernie did the same damn thing in reverse with the black question.
The Castro stuff is the final nail in Bernie's presidential candidate coffin. Bernie will never change who he is.
And how about Bernie on you know, black voters, the most important demographic for democrats?
