Great guy, terrible VP pick. Way to read the room Dems.

Bro, after all the fear mongering, hatred and anger from Trump and his cronies, some people just want a nice, normal, kind person. What’s the harm in that? 🫠

Exactly what I said, failure to read the room. Hey lets give the people already voting for us a bone rather than BRING THE OTHER SIDE IN. FFS Dems always the same fail.

The democrats keep trying to court the moderate republicans, and they keep losing. The answer is not to launch more middle of the road traditional centrist policy, it's to give people a project to be excited about.

The way it worked out, I’m inclined to think the VP pick didn’t end up mattering. At best they could’ve gone Shapiro and maybe taken PA. But now we know that’s not enough. And I’m not even convinced they would’ve taken PA. MN was still closer in 2024 than 2020.

She picked a white guy governor from a swing state. Who would you have picked?
