Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumThe VP candidate will have to represent the other wing of the democratic party
Two moderates or two liberals on the same ticket alienates a big part of the voter base. It will have to be a balanced ticket. And the VP nominee will have to be significantly younger than the Presidential nominee (unless the nominee is Pete). Even with Orange Menace his VP is 13 years younger. I just don't think you can run a ticket with both being 70+

(10,621 posts)I like Warren/Harris, too. Sanders, it does not matter what VP he gets, he won't listen, they will not be a part of influence in anyway. He also does not like or get along with Democrat which has me pondering who he would get as VP.

(945 posts)That is why he is shouting about a plurality candidate being the nominee, because he knows that if he does not have a majority he will need to make serious compromises to get the nomination. And to Bernie compromise is a bad word

(2,251 posts)Apparently only a segment of moderate Dems believe this nonsense.
The GOP has literally zero qualms about putting hard-core fascists on the same ticket. That doesnt present a problem to moderate conservatives.
We can put two progressives on the same ticket without fear too. Clinton/Kaine - 2 moderates who lost.
Gore (moderate)/Lieberman (conservative). Failed.
Kerry (moderate)/Edwards (slightly progressive). Failed.
So much for moderate left winning the day.

(945 posts)They will have to compromise with the other candidates to get them over the magic number. And that compromise will be a VP from the other wing of the party

Let progressives earn their power. By the same token, if Americans elect a progressive president,
then they have spoken for substantial change. Bernie or Liz should have a VP on the same page with them.
