Lots of posters here that have gone on and on (and on) about how they will never vote for Biden that seem to think their demands for Biden's campaign should be taken seriously for some reason.

It's almost like a president is president of the entire country, whether they vote for him or not, and are thus entitled to an opinion about who will be presiding over them for four years.

God damn it, you've got to be kind.
Biden's VP choice doesn't matter in terms of how Trump's campaign will respond, because no matter who they went with it will be a barrage of weak-rear end stupid lies and bullshit. There was literally no one Biden could've chosen who wouldn't be subject to the scorn of the cultists. There's no "giving Trump material to work with" because the GOP just makes poo poo up no matter what. They don't need any material.

That wasn't a miss. They are going to hit her from both sides in order to rile up their base and depress voter turnout in the age of BLM.

There is absolutely no indication they are going to attack her from the left, or have anyone capable of trying.

Their primary argument against BIDEN is that he's a radical socialist.

Biden has never once really entertained shoring up the extreme left wing of the party except to do one better than Hillary and have an actual amicable relationship with Bernie. Trump is just going to run on Biden being the socialist antichrist and running that against Kamala makes as little sense as possible. Everyone's moderate (D) parents love Kamala. From a strategic standpoint it's a good pick. If you were hoping for an interesting pick, not really.

I can't help but look back on 2000 when the popular opinion was that Bush and Gore were equally bad and Rage Against the Machine put out that music video chopping up their speeches to make them sound the same. At least back then people didn't realize how bad Bush could be. Trump's done like 50 9/11s.

He doesn't have to attack from the left. His campaign does. He has to speak to his base. His campaign has to depress turnout in key demos like latinos and young black voters. This pick makes that very likely.

it's not even 'attacking from the left' to go 'hey your like ONE actual moment of success in the campaign was when you, rightly, called Biden out on his support of literal segregationist policies that directly hurt you. What happened there?'

Considering her answer to that is to do her weird laugh and go 'IT WAS A DEBATE' as if that means anything it's a pretty good attack.

These were both dead well before the Kamala reveal. Biden's response to the BLM protests was to say that cops should get an extra $300M for "training" and he's overtly anti-weed.

People are allowed to be less than on enthused about a VP, whether or not they're voting blue or protest voting. I mean, personally I haven't been excited about a Democratic VP candidate since... Hmmm...

But it's not a pick that hurts Biden a la Palin, so it's a good pick from a n election standpoint. Helps diversify the ticket and cover some of Joe's weaknesses, so it's fine.

It actually has an extremely strong libertarian bent. It's because many of them accept the extremely right-wing premise the government is evil and inefficient. It's actually the same attitude that was common in LF, and the language changed, the driving thought process has not.
