2020 Democratic Ticket that energizes and unites the Democratic Party- Kamala Harris/Tim Ryan.

A Non White Female with a White Male with Blue Collar appeal. Harris/Ryan could help Democrats win back MI,PA,and WI.
Tim Ryan-OH should be on the ticket with Kamala Harris,Cory Booker,Julian Castro,or Eric Garcetti.

Even though I have great love and respect for people like Biden, Kerry, Bernie, I just think we need to go a little younger next time.
I also like Lieu, Schiff, Jackie Spier, and Stilwell.

Universal health care, a living minimum wage, environmental protection, fair taxation of the wealthy, etc. I think we will have an extraordinary opportunity to move, not just talk, towards the left.

I will vote for the boldest Democrat, whoever that turns out to be.

Many people have been conditioned to believe that "environmental protection" means "east cost elites" want take your job away to save trees. Once you repeat a lie enough it becomes accepted at facts.


A good strategy would be to discuss green manufacturing jobs in the rust belt. Lets make solar panels and wind turbines in these places. Then you can say something like "This plan is two for the price of one. This plan will bring good jobs into your community and it will be good for the environment as well."

I think he might be able to appeal to the "Obama/Trump voter.


He talked about creating jobs in places where jobs were lost to automation.

Dems ain't gonna win Trumpkins. We should focus on winning back the anti-war voters who stayed home or threw their votes away.
