    It will be on Kamala to pick a running mate to energize the base, and as a prosecutor I think it would go a long way if she went with a staunch progressive as her running mate.

    My fear is that she’ll pick someone from the right-wing of the party to ‘balance out’ the fact that she’s a racial minority and a woman, which scares those poor, poor right-leaning voters.

      I mean, of course she will. If Biden steps aside, the party runs the risk of looking like it’s capable of listening. Don’t want the left getting the idea that they should expect better.
