Pete doesn’t actually get things done, and he’s a PMC McKinsey dud… Nothing wrong with who he loves, he’s just a real bummer as a politician.
Also there’s a reason the VP shortlist are milquetoast white males… Grandma in Ohio might be able to vote for a woman of color, but these frightened bigots need a “safe” feeling backup plan in VP. Win the battle, take the win if Kamala can break that barrier. She wouldn’t be my first choice generally, but she has the momentum and now seems like the time. I’m supporting her full speed
What I love about him though is how he talks to Republicans. He just has a way of making their hypocrisy obvious to them and you can literally see their brain short circuit and do a hard reboot before they respond. He’s given some great interviews on fox news. But besides that I could take him or leave him.
1000% agree. I’m not stoked about, most likely, not voting in a dem primary for 8 years. Harris wouldn’t be my first choice but I don’t wanna deflate the hype train at all. Hoping for a super majority in congress, that would be the big win. Really hope true progressives can accomplish as much as possible with that. Last time it happened for dems we got the ACA, that should be the minimum benchmark.
He gets things done for his constituency, which is the network of business lobbyists that power his presidential ambitions. He’s an excellent resource for BNSF and Union Pacific. He’s a valuable asset for Boeing and FedEx. He’s just no good if you’re riding Amtrack or stuck in an airport at 2am waiting for JetBlue to get its shit together.

HARRIS/ANONYMOUS GENERIC WHITE GUY 2024!
Word.
Harris/Guy that gramma would be happy to see advertised on a real estate bench 2024

Well articulated, thank you for the clarifying support there.
