minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink16•5 months ago100% agree. We need to stop autopicking the next candidate just because they were VP. I don’t hate her, but she hasn’t done anything to stake a claim for the next seat.
minus-square@Eatspancakes84link4•5 months agoTbf the vice president has not been the candidate since Al Gore, so I don’t think it can be seen as the default.
minus-square@Wrenchlink1•5 months agoWas Biden the 2016 nomination? He came back specifically because he was a decent candidate to take Trump down. And still is.

He was going to be, then Beau died in 2015. :(
