Just asked a question, never cared one bit for Hillary myself, but Democrats appeared to have liked her, as I pointed out. But then I don't care much for Biden either.
Over my lifetime, I've only voted FOR 3 different presidential candidates, while every other presidential election I was only voting AGAINST one of the viable candidates.

Democrats didn't 'like' her but they hated Trump and voted for her as the only alternative. So yes, as you said, many voted against Trump by casting their vote for HRC.

You are only 100% confident in yourself when you put something on the line. I put my resignation up nonstrings attached. You can't. You are not 100% certain like I am. It's what separates the Alphas from the rest of the herd. Not one on the left...NOT ONE of you is confident that Biden will win.

I will state this as clearly as possible for you. I am 100% certain that if there happens to be a fair election, that Joe Biden will win. Not only that, but I am 100% certain that the democrats will take all three, the presidency, House and Senate.

Do you have any questions about my conviction? You have absolutely no right to do so and if so, too bad, that's how strong it is. So, knock it off with the rhetoric "NOT ONE of you is confident that Biden will win" because I am more than confident, I am absolutely positive that he will and that the republican party will be so deeply devastated that it will not recover for at least 8 years, if that.

Hilary Clinton is not on Biden's shortlist. We're talking about people who will REALISTICALLY make it in. That's why I didn't put Michelle Obama in there either.

Yes I have one question. If you are so positive I am wrong then why did you not make a resignation statement? I did because I am 100% positive. Again you talk and yap but in the end you are not 100% confident until you put something up like I did. Yap again about how 100% confident you are that Biden will win. These posts are going to be so much fun the day after the election.

LMAO, how childish you are. Okay so let me get this straight. You will only trust someone here that they have a conviction if they place their 'resignation' on the line? This is about resignation from what? From you job, from your local bowling league? What?

I didn't know that, I thought she was loved by Democrats. I haven't lived in the U.S. for many years, so I don't really pay that much attention to the politicians.

Many Democrats loved her and still do. I'd say they are mostly the people who were middle-aged during the Clinton administration in the 90s.

Warren and Rice are the only Women on the list I know much about. I'll just wait for Biden to announce who he will pick. I have no preference.

You can always go onto wikipedia or google search them.

Keep in mind that Cortez Masto dropped out of the running, and I wrote on this thread that Michelle Lujan Grisham took her place.

Everybody needs representation. American politicians are too old, male, and white. That is a fact. Things are slowly changing but it's not happening fast enough.

UVa has a new article out on the possible candidates. The Veepstakes: Handicapping Biden’s Choices – Sabato's Crystal Ball

Kamala Harris is the clear #1. Warren is 4th.

Don't overlook Tammy Duckworth. The question with her is whether she is assertive enough, military background not-with-standing.

Love your link Jay!

Harris is without a doubt the heavy favorite. Election Betting Odds (EBO) has Harris with 40% chance of winning the nomination. The closest to her is Demings at about 17.8%.

Historically, Democrats have picked U.S Senators as their VPs. Since 1944, 17 out of the 19 Democrat Vice Presidents have been sitting U.S Senators.

Duckworth, Harris, Klobuchar, and Warren have the best chance.

Whitmer and Lujan Grisham being governor for less than 2 years hurts their chances. I am glad to see Raimondo being mentioned. She's a two-term governor and pretty young.

We will find out officially around August 1st.

I might do that once Biden makes his choice.
Then the list you've shown is of those who Biden is actually considering?

Color is not representation. The character, the integrity, and the belief in the same things is what matters. Defending the Constitution is number One.

You couldn't be any more wrong. Age, race, and gender make a big difference.

It's representation of perspective. How could you be so blind? Oh, right, on purpose. You only care about whitey's perspective.

No.

It's racist to pretend black people don't have a perspective on America. It's racist to pretend black people shouldn't have a voice. It's racist to want only white voices.
