Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Elizabeth Warren for VP, please [View all]musclecar6
(1,693 posts)6. I like Elizabeth as she has great qualities
The Bernie supporters would flock to Elizabeth, which is a good thing. The problem is, the primary voters were solidly behind Joe, and the general election voters who count ( the independents) do NOT want anyone who is blowing the horn for what they perceive as socialism. We have a capitalist system with a balance of socialism already ( medicare, social security, medicaid etc), but the republicans will completely distort the facts and proclaim that Elizabeth will never stop pushing for issues that will cost huge bucks, even if they are good ideas.

No, she has a GOP governor...thus we simply can't wait six months for a GOP type to be replaced.
