And? Who is Kamala firing up that isn't already voting dem? Some evangelical AKAs? lol. Her black support wasn't even stronger than Biden's and she's BLACK.

Other thing is, Warren is pretty much Biden's only play if he's interested in forging a unity ticket to bridge the moderate and left/"very liberal" wings of the party. Who knows whether Dems care about this or not, either. But if they do that's the play.

Yall already decided box-checking outweighs performance tho, by boosting Kamala who ran a shit campaign and flip-flopped harder on policy than almost anybody else in the field. Don't hold Warren to a different standard when Kamala couldn't even get that far. Kamala wasnt even poised to do well in CA.

And I say this while acknowledging that Warren didn't do particularly well in this primary. But if Biden wants a woman VP? Fine: Warren is by far the most competent executive out of the women that ran this cycle and brings solid volunteer and (small-donor) fundraising infrastructure ready to stand up against 45-Pence. A fluffy vanity pick like Kamala literally addresses none of Biden's weaknesses other than age. I mean damn, if he *must* run with a black woman at least Abrams can run an organization and might put Georgia in play.
