Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: I am really warming up to a Biden-Warren ticket. [View all]Progressive2020
(713 posts)Amy Klobuchar might be too Centrist for the ticket. I think the point is to have Biden bring in the Centrists and the White Working Class voters in the Rust Belt. Then we need someone to bring in the younger progressives. Warren would bring in the more Leftist Progressives/Sanders voters, and youth.
My point is that Klobuchar is just another younger version of Joe Biden. They are both pragmatic Centrists. We do not need a younger Joe Biden clone. We need to unite the Centrist and the Progressive wings of the Democratic Party on the same ticket. Balance the centrists and the progressives.
If Biden (centrist) is the nominee for President, we need to balance the ticket with a Progressive for VP. Warren (progressive) fits the bill. Klobuchar (centrist) is kind of a redundant choice, and is playing it far too safe. We need to appeal to centrist voters and also mobilize progressives to vote. Warren can do this. Klobuchar not so much.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
