2020, not so much about our nominee but will be about our VP

If Democratic Party Presidential nominee does not choose an African American as our VP, preferably an African American woman! .... then we will never win. Plenty of amazing folks to consider. My vote would be, Stacey Abrams. Oh, I know you know that she did not consult me, LOL. BTW she is doing the hard ground work of trying to fight for Voter's Rights in Georgia.

Stacey Yvonne Abrams (born December 9, 1973) is an American politician, lawyer, and author who served in the Georgia House of Representatives from 2007 to 2017, and served as minority leader from 2011 to 2017.[1] A member of the Democratic Party, she was the party's nominee in the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election, but lost to Brian Kemp without conceding the election. Abrams was the first African-American female major-party gubernatorial nominee of the United States.[2] In February 2019, she became the first African-American woman to deliver a response to the State of the Union address.

mayor Pete because he knows how to shut people the fuck up. If being black were so important why did the black candidates fail?

That being said, I prefer Harris as VP, (I am assuming Biden will be the candidate).

My second choice would be Castro- he could put Texas into play and would energize the Hispanic voters. In addition to Texas, Hispanic voters are critical in the potential swing states of Arizona and Florida.
