16. This is likely true... what I'm stuck on is - who gets us everything?

Who gets us progressives, African-American voters, and Wisconsin/Arizona/NC? (I am ignoring Florida as that is a beast onto itself and without a State governor or Senator, it's hard to imagine swinging that one based on a VP pick. It will swing if the political winds strongly favor the democratic party as a whole).

Given that no one gets us everything, Biden will have to decide on which particular group will be most beneficial to focus on. Something will have to be sacrificed. It's unfortunate that Harris's progressivism isn't widely recognized. Unlike Warren, choosing her wouldn't risk a Senate seat that we can't afford to lose.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
