    Biden only has one job and one stance right now... BEAT TRUMP!!!

    I was told long time ago... "if you put a snake in a hole he will end up biting himself" This is the exact equivalent of Trump...

    All Biden has to do right now is just keep re-playing all of Trump's BS and lies....

    Picking a VP candidate isn't easy and shouldn't be rushed. Clinton wiffed on that picking Tim Kaine and just showed how arrogant she was. The Biden campaign is vetting people and building suspense. He's keeping people interested which is a far more effective strategy than if without any lead up just announced he was picking Kamla Harris for example.

    Biden is a gaffe machine and it's one reason why he's always bugged me and wasn't my first, second or third choice. They are definitely a drag but again he's running against Captain Covfefe so I'm not sure they will sink him.

    Biden didn't promise a black woman VP. He promised a black woman USSC Justice. As I was mentioning to Fchowd in another thread that is probably more important than VP and could shape the country for decades to come.

    For a people who claim to know politics I continue to find it surprising how often people downplay the importance of the USSC.

    Also what is wrong with normalcy? I think a lot of people would prefer that over whatever we have now.

    Regarding he ACA polling has shown it's gotten more popular since it was implemented that you're downplaying that and the other proposals is your own view that they aren't issues that resonate with you. That's your prerogative but certainly shows that Biden is doing something.

    He means a real justice, one that isn't a total partisan hack like Thomas.

    To be quite honest - He should be picking the best person for the job regardless of color.

    Picking someone based upon race is discriminatory from the word go and dismisses any real qualifications.

    Trump picked Mike Pence because of his faith and bland personality. Obama choose Biden because he was white and had a long track record. Reagan choose G. Bush because he had established government experience.

    The vast majority of VP selections haven’t been the most qualified person, but whoever fills a weakness of the major party candidate.

    Hilary Clinton choose who she personally felt was the best or most qualified and it hurt her.

    Biden choosing a woman is no different than Trump insisting on a genuine evangelical VP candidate.

    spoiledbrat-in-chief is threatening the people of north carolina because the governor is more concerned about the lives of citizens (especially on the day the US marks 100,000 COVID-19 deaths) than trump having his convention there... the citizens should respond with "Bye Felicia", they can better use their 15 EVs elsewhere...

    Trump threatens to pull Republican convention out of North Carolina
    He demands a guarantee the convention will be allowed to go on as planned.

    pence, carrying trump's water, repeats the threat against North Carolina (in case anyone had any delusion that pence was the reasonable one)...

    You're right Biden promised a woman not a black woman. If he was smart he choose a black woman for the base of support. Standing by black people has always been Biden's only strength and the only thing that has worked for him politically.

    I don't claim to know anything about politics these are just my opinions.

    Nobody is downplaying the importance of the USSC. The USSC has always been important, but only the republicans flock to the polls for that reason alone because republicans are better at politics and messaging than democrats.

    That IDEA of normalcy wasn't working for a lot of the black Americans who stayed home in 2016 and is the reason why Trump is president now.

    People wanting the Public Option is what's popular regarding the ACA. M4A is the public option for everyone.

    I said Black Americans and minorities are the base support for the Democratic party and Biden and the Democrats should stop taking their vote for granted; stop trying to cater to white voters and do more for their base of support and you think that is a right wing talking point?

    can you explain that a little more for me?
