    Kelly, Duckworth, Whitmer, Newsom, Buttigieg, Warren, Franken.

      Whitehouse would be solid as well. AOC would also be a fine pick if we got party unity behind her.

        AOC would also be a fine pick if we got party unity behind her.

        Centrists would vote for Trump.

        AOC could unify the party behind her, but she’d need to do it with a primary. The Biden delegates and/or the party establishment aren’t going to make a wild swing-for-the-fences play like that with an appointment.

          I don’t disagree. I think she’d be an excellent choice and absolutely trounce Trump but it’d be a hard fucking sell to the DNC.

          She’s got more name recognition than Harris though so the “Harris is the only one voters would recognize” bunch can get fucked.

        AOC would be a better VP pick than top of the ticket. Let her ascend later when she is more experienced.

      You legitimately think the Democratic party will get behind any of these nominations enough to defeat Trump? I’d say most are considered more controversial than fuckin Hillary was.

        I legitimately think that this was what you intended to reply with regardless of what I said, and I very much doubt you actually bothered to read it.

          Seriously. This is a pretty mild list of semi-proven politicians with national recognition. Warren (or maybe Franken) are the only ones I can see being potentially controversial and even they’re both still broadly liked within the party.

          Also, how does someone who’s not familiar with Kelly or Duckworth have a strong opinion about who’s controversial in the Democratic party? They’re not superstars, but you weren’t exactly digging up no-names.

            It is extremely notable to me that the “get rid of Biden” is so HUGELY emphasized over “let’s figure out who instead”

            It makes me look suspiciously at what would initially be the pretty sensible idea of subbing in someone younger

              That continues to be a piss poor rebuttal because the two questions are separate. Many people literally don’t care. And anyone who thinks this is some sort of ratfucking is either detached from reality or doesn’t actually know that many Democrats. The calls to step down (and frankly depression) have been coming from across the party right from the night of the debate. The gaslighting is just the worst possible response to an already bad situation.

              You look suspiciously at anything but blind unthinking worship of Biden.

              If you’re gonna call me a bot, come out and say it instead of hiding behind vague language like a coward.

                No one is calling you a bot.

                We’re calling you a right wing agitator.

                  Right. You can no longer call people bots, so you found another unfounded accusation to use because you don’t have defensible positions.

                    You’re way too intelligent to be a bot, no one ever called you that. That I ever saw, at least.

          Incorrect, I actually looked up both Kelly’s and Duckworth’s backgrounds as I wasn’t familiar - I see why they were first!
