But of course the DNC will choose a moderate instead.

Even though he’s old, I think it’d still work. By keeping her as VP there’s continuity of Biden’s administration and she’s ready to take over if he doesn’t complete the term. He has broad appeal with Independents which will bolster their chances of winning in November.

Just saying that a lot of folks are over the gerontocracy, and even though Sanders is great, his age is going to be a tough sell.

Also, Harris is already on the ballot, she’s the backup voters already picked, and the campaign apparatus and war chest would just roll into her now.

I have nothing against Harris, but we already have people whining about the primary that was basically unopposed for Biden. I don’t know that the US voting system is organized enough to crank out another primary, but it might be worthwhile.

Not. A chance. In hell.

You can have who Biden endorses, or you can have a floor fight in two months. That’s it. There are no other options available.

Biden would still work. At this point it would be incredibly stupid to pick an even older person than Biden. Bernie as VP to literally any younger person would be a huge boon.

In case you aren’t aware, Biden just dropped out.

Bernie as VP would be a bit of a waste. VPs don’t do much other than push for their leader’s agenda. A younger Progressive would be great, but at this late in the game could be very risky unless they’ve already been tested on a national stage.
