Would be so good, but adding Pete would destroy her odds of winning even more. So many dumbfucks out there.

Pete is dogshit.

JB Pritzker or Andy Beshear makes way more sense.

Beshear especially being a strong pro-union governor in a red state to appeal to those moderates.

Pete reinforces the "Democrats are elitist" narrative

Pete would be a walking disaster as he would be easy to paint as an elitist. A candidate like Beshear, or really any other white dude that can come across as authentic, pro-labor, and appeal to moderates, and Southerners, would work well.

If I were a US citizen and could vote, no, but only because he would probably lower Harris' chances to win. It's sad, but it's the truth.

The only thing that matters right now is to win.

Absolutely not. Pete fucking sucks. I've got zero respect for the woolly headed liberals who think he is the smartest man in the world. At best and most charitable, you can say he is a political chameleon.

It would also be political suicide to put him on the ticket. He doesn't do anything for Kamala like the various battleground governors do. Generally, I'm taking him being on the ticket if it happens as a sign that this is an election that Democrats are purposefully throwing.

I'm good with any Dem ticket versus Trump, but that being said I don't think Pete Butt adds anything to the ticket whereas a Kelly, Shapiro, or Cooper might tilt the Dems' odds in AZ, PA, or NC.

Mark Kelly would be an awesome addition to the ticket, but he's more valuable in the Senate. He can have his seat there likely for as long as he wants, which in a state like Arizona is super valuable. Dems can't afford to give up his seat there.

I mean I'd need to see who it is first before I can answer that question. It's just not like a Kelly VP robs the Democrats of a Senate seat the way it does if she picked Warnock.

For Strategic reasons I believe it's going to be someone from a red or swing state. Beshear is a great choice, another good one is Shapiro.

Not to mention, Kamala and Pete are very similar candidates, he doesn't really bring any voters to the table that she doesn't already grab herself.

Whatever the pick is. I hope Kamala and her team takes their time in the next four weeks, before they decide. Studying internal polling and work on the ground, which crucial swing state is at the most risk of flipping to Trump and which VP candidate would best tilt that state or states back to our side.

No need to rush into a pick, until it's time to file the paperwork to meet certain state deadlines.
