"Poll question: Edit: if sanders wins, who should be his VP pick "
Tue Feb-18-20 08:58 PM by blkprinceMD05

  

          

Ok ok I’ll change this to something less controversial lol.

I’m assuming he will have to pick a woman.

Poll result (32 votes)
Elizabeth Warren (11 votes)Vote
Nina Turner (3 votes)Vote
AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Or Ilhan Omar (0 votes)Vote
Tulsi Gabbard (16 votes)Vote
a Moderate woman , Klobuchar or the like (2 votes)Vote
Bernie or bust, The VP could be a slice of cheese as long as Bernie is prez (0 votes)Vote

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Abrams might have hurt her chances since she seems very close to endorsing Bloomberg. But if he's nominated, it'll probably be a Black woman.

I'll even go ahead and say that if the nominee is anyone except Warren or Klobachar, it'll be a Black Woman.

I think both know that being the VP on what could be a winning ticket is a big step.

And I think Sanders knows the data and the demographics, and how important the Black Woman vote is going to be.

that's what happened with Madeleine Albright at least. she could never assume the presidency though she was 5th in the line of succession (she was born in Czechia).

7. "The VP has to vibe with Sanders and be able to carry out his vision"
In response to Reply # 0


          

This is even more important because of the possibility of Sanders passing during the course of an administration. He's not going to pick somebody who he clashes with on the core issues of justice that are integral to his campaign.

Some say Klobuchar to bring in the "moderate" vote and secure the MidWest - but they clash in too many core areas including foreign policy, MFA, criminal justice (just to name a few).

Warren would be an excellent choice - but having two Liberal New Englanders might not be the smartest strategic move (and I think Warren would be a truly exceptional Treasury Security).

Incidentally, I think Castro could make for a fascinating VP as well

Tulsi actually would be interesting in a few ways - beyond just the geographic & demographic balance to Sanders: (1) She actually does attract voters all over the map; Progressives, Independents, even Conservatives. Sanders is reaching out to disaffected Trump voters (pretty effectively) - and Tulsi would be an effective diplomat reaching out to that demo to help draw in the famed Obama/Trump swing voter (2) she vibes with Sanders on virtually his entire platform (especially foreign policy - which is why she'd be likely be featured in a sec. of state/natl security adviser role (if not VP) in a Sanders admin.) (3) We wouldn't have to risk a Senate/Congressional seat (like we would with Warren) - as Tulsi is not running for re-election and it's likely a Dem will win her seat in Hawaii. On the flip - a lot of Clinton Dems despise her as much as they despise Sanders - and the smears against her were somewhat effective in souring voters who otherwise would probably have a favorable view of her.

Nina Turner would be fun - but I think she's better utilized as an activist who is not confined by political expediency.

Of course, there are a lot of options for VP - and he'd likely look beyond the presidential candidate field - but I don't see him selecting a VP who is not on his wavelength re: the issues he's fought his entire life for.

In response to Reply # 16


          

"My personal view is that both Sanders and Warren are excellent candidates to thwart Trump and I'd be happy with either one emerging."

>Was revealed that sanders said he didn’t think a woman
>could win. I mean u damn near called her Pocahontas....STOP it
>I say lol. Please

Never called her names of any kind. It's easy enough to link to the quote you feel is so offensive - so show me.

Re: her accusation that Sanders was sexist - yea she messed up with that. Serious political miscalculation - and she suffered for it. After she got off to a great start in her campaign, she made some bad decisions with the MFA flipping and the desperate attempt to take down Sanders (which - as it turns out - didn't play well w/ voters at all).

In the post - I made the case that Sanders was the stronger candidate because of his ability to appeal to a broader demographic than Warren - who boasted the whitest support-base of all top-tier candidates (now Pete holds that crown).

Analyzing a primary and criticizing a candidate for their miscalculations isn't being abrasive.

But I noticed you didn't actually dispute the merits of the argument - though I'd like to see you try.

Quite likely that Tulsi gets featured in a prominent foreign policy/diplomatic role - if not seriously considered as his running mate.

In response to Reply # 0


          


Ayana Presley? She has squad appeal but is a
Warren backer so there would be some goodwill
with that pick.

Baldwin? Duckworth?

I think Abrams is out. She’s getting too cozy with
Bloomberg. To the point where I think she’ll be his
if he wins the nom- if not sooner.

Maybe Harris.


It’s hard for me to picture Bernie picking a unifying
running mate- and even harder for me to envision
his loudest supporters being ok with it but a moderate
woman would be his best bet.

The originally question and answers were shitting on Bernie bros per usual but I tried to take the high road and changed it like 5 min later

The original question asked what what BBs do if sanders picked warren as VP

And the answers captured some of the fucked up and misogynistic comments sanders supporters have made about warren ever since she “crossed” (well actually before too) saint Bernie

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

from Sanders so much this cycle that I dunno about that option. That was my ideal ticket in 2016 too (Warren/Sanders).

I think it HAS to be a woman, or identity politics sake, and ideally a POC. My head says Tulsi though they will make her divisive, and I think she'd be a better Secretary of State. My heart says Nina Turner, but I think they will try to paint her as an "angry Black woman". Stacy Abrams is really interesting politically. I think she could help develop that ticket, and honestly is a game changer for all the candidates. Her and Bloomberg I think would be unbeatable but it checks the money, machine, and identity politics boxes. But her and Sanders I think could beat Trump, even though I don't know if it is a complete ideological match since so much of that for Abrams is unknown to me. In the end probably should still be Warren, to help bridge that level of voter that is #NeverSanders after how he was mean to Hillary and Elizabeth. But she also needs to stay in the Senate or Massachusetts Governor will appoint his replacement. I think Abrams is the move. Black Woman VP and Progressive Platform gets voters out I believe, and doesn't cost us anything in Congress.

at minimum she appeals to Trump supporters, is for M4A, Green New Deal, $15 an hour minimum wage, anti-interventionist regime change AND is a POC Woman?

Like none of that would make sense to you as a ticket for the general election? AND she left the DNC to support Sanders in 2016 so I know where her political allegiance is in ideology. Doesn't seem as far fetch as Tim Kaine, but to each their own.

That seems like a reach.

and it’s cool that she supported Bernie but that’s not really going to sure up the POC vote.

Ain’t no one Black looking at Tulsi as an ally besides that one weird cousin who likes pumpkin pie and hates Granny’s fried Chicken

Bernie doesn’t need a cheerleader he needs someone who will expand his voting base.

Lot of candidates for bosses. Only one candidate for workers. His vice presidential pick should reinforce that.

I also like RoseAnne DeMoro for similar reasons, and Barbara Lee for different reasons, primarily a more traditional "being excellent at politics."

picking someone with overlapping appeal in areas that sanders will prolly already win (like warren) prolly isnt a good move.

if sanders weak point is suburban moderates...or the party is worried about black voters tailing off (again)...then the campaign/party should go with someone who can help remedy that.

thats why biden floated abrams as vp out the gate.

if sanders could pull in a black woman with that 2018 midterm dem sun belt suburb appeal...that would be great.

50. "yeah i cant think of anyone off top."
In response to Reply # 40


          

i saw someone mention rep val demings. black woman moderate out of orlando area. super christian. popular among florida black voters. reps a majority white but very diverse working class district. law enforcement background. first woman police chief of orlando. credited with a near 50% reduction in crime in orlando. shit like that appeals to those suburban moderate types.

she looks pretty good on paper but not much name recognition.

abrams is pretty cool (great exposure) but no real govt experience outside of georgia state house.

that might not matter to 'us' but it could to the type of voters sanders needs to bring into the tent.

i guess she would be our version of sarah palin (obviously not anywhere near as crazy but with less city/state gov executive experience). but palin was a play for the base while mccain got those votes in the center. abrams would be a base play (mostly black voters) but bernie doesnt have those center votes sewn up.

Abrams would be the closest - but her pivot towards Bloomberg makes it seem that much more unlikely.

Sanders is doing very well with Black voters - and POC in general. I think he's golden if he picks a woman of color who rocks with his platform. I do think it needs to be a woman - and preferably a woman of color - but just as important as this person vibes with him on policy and is able to carry out his platform. Not sure Abrams even does that.

In response to Reply # 55


          

progressives arent jumping ship on a bernie campaign because abrams is associated with bloomberg. its not even like she endorsed him. hes just a donor to her campaign and voting rights org and did one of her pro voting rights events.

but a bloomberg cosign of abrams would def put her in good graces with those suburban moderates.

also she wouldnt really be voting on anything as vp. just breaking ties when necessary (which is rare and she wouldnt cross the prez/party obviously).

she would be a loyal vp dedicated to the prez agenda like most overwhelmingly are.

I def agree - but I don't think that's the issue with Abrams as VP. I'm not sure she shares Bernie's vision in enough areas to make it a cohesive ticket. But it would for sure be a strong ticket IMO in terms of its wide-ranging appeal to the base. Not sure how many independent swing-votes it attracts though.

In response to Reply # 41


          

and absolutely critical to dems electoral college chances.

he was also supposed to appeal to those christian/catholic personally anti abortion but legally pro choice voters. the type that put dems in the governors mansions in places like ks and ky in 2018/19.

in hindsight...they obviously should have focused more on a vp who appealed to black voters more. but i understand the play.

Shocking that a lot of people didn't want to get up for a Clinton/Kaine ticket - I know.

Who support him are basically cult followers and would follow him into a vat of lava, I’d be interested to see what they would do if he picks someone that promoted a public option as opposed to M4A...

Also I don’t see how that is even reconciled. Unless sanders is able to continue to just be vague about m4a and abandon it all together if he gets elected

-----
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) conceded Thursday that Sen. Bernie Sanders' signature Medicare for All proposal would face congressional roadblocks if he was elected president, telling HuffPost: “A president can’t wave a magic wand and pass any legislation they want."

...

Ocasio-Cortez is a vocal proponent of Medicare for All and one of Sanders' highest-profile surrogates. She told HuffPost: "The worst-case scenario? We compromise deeply and we end up getting a public option. Is that a nightmare? I don’t think so."
-----

funny how she is basically saying what people like pete and liz (aka realists) have been saying and getting blasted by bernie supporters for. maybe a little time spent in washington has shown her you cant be an activist/zealot all your life and expect to get laws passed.

i guess its ok to admit now that bernie is looking like the favorite for the nomination lol.

i was skeptical but hopeful that bernie wouldnt govern as an ideologue and would get the legislative wins that were actually feasible (and didnt destroy the rest of the party in the following midterms).

but thats an increasingly hard case to make when he says/does shit like this.

Nothing wrong with AOC pointing out the obvious - and nothing wrong with Bernie making the consistent case he's always made for MFA. It's wise to begin the negotiation with MFA instead of already conceding ground from the jump. We all know how long and arduous it was for Obama to get the ACA passed (he spent an entire term on it) - so there will be massive negotiations. Might as well start the negotiation at the preferred position knowing that you'll have to give ground somewhere.

In response to Reply # 63


          

over the feasibility of his *trademark* legislative priority is no big deal.

got it.

imagine if claire mccaskill or susan rice was doing interviews in 2008 saying obamacare prolly wouldnt pass so dems would prolly settle for just lowering prescription drugs. no pre existing conditions coverage, state marketplace competition, etc.

so why doesnt bernie say whats realistically possible but aoc does (mind you aoc is up for reelection too while running on a bernie-aligned pro m4a platform)?

are pro-m4a diehard 'progressives' actually ok with their candidates going soft on it? what about the nurses union, dem socialists, etc?

why is sanders running on a fantasy policy that alienates a lot of dem voters who want to keep obamacare (2018 midterms biggest winning policy issue) when (as many of his supporters are publicly admitting) it has next to nil chance of passing anyway?

'lets make our campaign about something virtually impossible but will give us a good negotiating starting point' doesnt sound like bold radical change to me. i thought incrementalism was unacceptable. kinda weird what happens when you have to worry about actually governing huh?

obama actually got obamacare passed. tho compromised and negotiated down...the actual policy kernel passed.

but aoc isnt talking about negotiating down within the same policy. shes basically admitting they would prolly have to accept public option (which was part of the original obamacare) and functionally scraps the sanders *mandatory* m4a plan (theres obviously a reason why sanders folks are attacking other candidates for it).

public option by definition means that m4a (as presently constituted by sanders legislation) is abandoned (for now).

and even with that...its a pretty big assumption *that* could pass with an obstructionist repub senate coalition. dems couldnt get public option with a 59-60 dem senate majority. what makes anyone think they could get it with 50-51 (if lucky)?

In response to Reply # 73


          

aoc is essentially admitting m4a is a pipe dream and pragmatic politicians like everyone but bernie are more clear eyed and successfully positioned on the issue.

dems used to be the realistic/pragmatic party. radicals may not like the incremental progress. but its why dems governed well...didnt send the country off a cliff after 8 years...and a dem prez usually enters post office life with high approval among the party.

but now you got folks running on stuff that makes part of the base feel good but is doomed to failure/disappointment in reality.

what happens if dem voters put bernie in the white house and he goes like 0-5 on m4a, green new deal, $15 fed wage hike, etc?

AOC is a rock-star and is as beloved as could be w/ Bernie's supporters - so is Nina - so is Cornell - so is Ilhan etc.. etc..

They absolutely love the progressive slate of surrogates. I've been to several Sanders events this campaign season and whenever AOC or a prominent surrogate makes an appearance it's like LeBron just walked into the arena.

ryan grim of theintercept already took heat from his own lefty following for saying basically the same thing aoc did.

maybe aoc is completely immune to criticism for straying away from sanders. we will see.

A lot of them seem to think he can do all this stuff if/when he's prez just by being prez.


I wonder if it would lead to complete disillusionment with politics, blaming everyone else, or going full Trump and somehow claiming he did what he promised.

What would really be interesting is if he did win and then compromised on things, and watch them praise him for the very stuff they attacked Warren for.

I don't think a lot of them are ready.

I thought Obama was going to change the world, man. They aint ready.


Anyway, I am curious if you come up with a VP pick for Bernie. Its hard to picture for me.

this shit is hard as hell with dems being such a diverse coalition and having to hit all the right representation notes.

In response to Reply # 51


  

          

I think she makes a lot of sense for VP, but as I said above they are already getting on her for "mean tweets" where she calls out the Democratic establishment. They are trying to paint her as an angry Black woman, and I don't know how that will play to the gentle Democratic base that aren't trying to hear about themselves. They shouted her down for calling Bloomberg for being an Oligarch for goodness sake. My heart is with Nina but not sure if it plays, except as a counter to if Bloomberg locks down Abrams.

But NINA deserves so much credit for Sanders' campaign, and him getting the Black support his is currently getting in SC. She has been down there getting the job DONE, and been a strong ally. I would love a Sanders/Turner ticket.

In response to Reply # 56


          

It makes sense why she'd be in the mix: Nobody has been more loyal and had Bernie's back more than Tulsi through all the smearing/bullshit over the past 4 years. They are naturally aligned in both platform and in their willingness to break rank with partisan doctrine. She also brings great foreign policy experience to the table. At the very least, she'd be a top candidate for an ambassador to the UN/Natl' Security Adviser - or Sec. of State in a Sanders administration.

I think she might be too controversial for a lot of Dems who have bought into the numerous smears over her - but both on paper and in optics, it makes sense.

It's interesting though: Dems are always trying to appeal to some mythical center - and they've generally made their VP selections with that in mind (see: Lieberman/Kaine/Biden etc..) -- meanwhile, Republicans have generally given its base what it wants: Trump/Pence is an unapologetic ticket - and Romney/Ryan was for the most part as well - and let's not even get started on McCain/Tea Party Palin lol.

Dems are way too timid and safe with these decisions - and we've effectively been shifted to the center-right because of it.

60. "The decision on who to appoint for VP is multi-faceted though"
In response to Reply # 58


          

Biden did awful in the 2008 presidential race - but Obama still picked him because it was seen as a balancing beam (experienced, older, more moderate) to Obama's youth and progressivism.

That Tulsi or Castro hasn't performed well in the polls doesn't by itself disqualify them from VP consideration.

Also - I disagree on her not bringing in more votes. Her as VP certainly wouldn't thrill a lot of traditional Democrats - but they'd already be pissed at a Sanders nomination anyway. Also, this is supposed to be the 'vote blue no matter who' crowd. Tulsi does actually appeal to a lot of Independents and even some Conservatives. She could legitimately coax some Trump voters to flip and reclaim the elusive Obama/Trump swing voter. Sanders is already going to have the progressive/youth vote on lock - it's not a bad idea to marry that with a VP who can appeal to a diff. segment of the electorate.

Also - consider the potential universe of VP candidates for Sanders - I don't think it's as vast as people think. Sanders has never been one to make a decision like this based on what the Established, conventional wisdom is. I wouldn't be surprised at all for him to name someone like Turner, Tulsi, Pramila, or Ro as a running mate. That'd be on-brand.

Maybe Sanders needs a black one but really.. it’s not like we aren’t going to vote for the Dem.

I just don’t think he needs a Tulsi face. I don’t think she adds enough for any type of bump. This would be a vanity pick IMO

we are going on about black/woman/moderate/fringe appealing vp candidates.

bernie does his worst with older voters (especially white ones). he knocks younger voters out the park (but they vote at like 1/2 the turnout on a *good* year).

who is gonna appeal to old white folks in general and still hit those other groups we need?

vp is gonna be a hard ass balancing act this year.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

Like, at all.


Put your weird Tulsi crush aside for a second.


She brings nothing to the ticket that Bernie doesn't already bring.


We all know how much you love her. We get it. You never let us forget it.


But you have to stop assuming the world is like your bubble. It isn't.


If Bernie wins, he needs to pick a VP that makes 'establishmet' dems feel better. Establishment voters and doners. Thats the game.


Someone who appeals to older voters- especially in the midwest and south.

That isn't Tulsi.

Admitting that doesn't mean your love for her isn't unconditional. It doesn't make you an agenda traitor.


It makes you reasonable.


Tulsi would be an awful VP pick.


I love Warren, but I don't think she'd be a good pick either.


Hillary picked a loyalist who brought nothing to the ticket, and you rightfully criticize her for it.

Don't be a fucking hypocrite.

There's nothing Sanders could do to assuage Establishment Dems if Bernie leads the ticket.

>If Bernie wins, he needs to pick a VP that makes
>'establishmet' dems feel better. Establishment voters and
>doners. Thats the game.

Voters yes - but he doesn't need donors or party insiders per se. This falls in line with the antiquated logic that appealing to forces that are unlikely to side with you is the winning recipe - instead of appealing to disaffected voters, new/young voters, and the emerging millennial voting bloc. That's a far more sound strategy - because those voters are far more naturally aligned with Sanders than establishment dems and the donor class.

>Hillary picked a loyalist who brought nothing to the ticket,
>and you rightfully criticize her for it.
>
>Don't be a fucking hypocrite.

So again - you have an awful lot of criticism - but not many solutions. As you critique everyone's opinion, what's yours? Who would you select as Bernie's VP?

in their hypocrisy.

after the way they hounded hillary to prove she didnt have seizures and her pneumonia diagnosis wasnt fake...they are cool with an almost 80 yr old who just had a *heart attack* a lil over a month ago not releasing his full records.

Even see the hypocrisy. Anything even remotely critical of sanders or of them is regarded as just “establishment” hating

to them...the only way it makes sense for people to criticize sanders is if tom perez is cash apping niggas for it.

they are pretty much the liberal version of qanon (its a few on here).

but if anyone had to be, I'd go with Warren. I have a feeling Massachusetts could find another Dem to fill that spot. their domestic policy is compatible.

I don't think Kamala would hop on.

Tulsi is a BIG NO. she is to "the good liberals" what Hillary is to people who don't worship the ground she walks on.

In response to Reply # 93


          

which means one less dem senate seat for prolly at least a year.

thats 2 senate seats automatically going to repubs if bernie/warren win (vt is repub gov too).

and anyone thinking a dem would be a shoe in to win the special election later for that ma seat should look up scott brown.

In response to Reply # 93

So who is it going to be?

Kamala and Bernie have no chemistry and clash on a myriad of core issues. Agreed on Warren - she'd really be excellent - but she is likely better utilized in the Senate - or in a cabinet position (Sec. of Treasury) that is perfectly designed for her core strengths. But as mentioned, it would be a risky gamble in MA given how that process works with a Republican Governor at the helm.

Curious: who would you most like to see as Bernie's VP? Is it Warren?

Also notice how Republicans have zero problems running bold, unapologetic tickets without factoring in the feelings of Susan Collins or Joe Manchin. You never see them run a Lieberman/Biden/Kaine type of compromise candidate - and they win nonetheless.

I don't think it's a horrible idea to run a bold, progressive ticket. I also would like to see some names outside of the conventional circles be considered. The VP doesn't really have a lot of hard requirements (outside of being 35+ and a U.S. Citizen). There's no reason Sanders couldn't look outside of the traditional circles for a VP pick.
