Whoever Bernie or Biden pick as VP, it needs to be someone interesting that excites a base in some form or fashion, whether that be the minority vote or the progressive vote or otherwise. Nobody gave a shit about Tim Kaine. Dude's a wet napkin.

Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Julian Castro, Nina Turner or Stacey Abrams would be good for either of them honestly.

This is literally the first time since 2016 that I've even thought about Tim Kaine.

NBC is reporting that the voter turnout for younger voters was not there.

The Bernie movement isn't making a strong showing.

I don't think you should give up or drink. Biden fucking sucks, but he's still better than trump. Do what you can, be better than they are.

Southern states are very conservative. They are Clinton Democrats.

I don't know if that's it necessarily. I would say almost every older African American that was interviewed on the radio here (in SC) last week told them they were voting for Biden "because he was good enough for Obama." Or something similar. African Americans make up a large percentage of democratic primary voters in the South and maybe just the familiarity is enough pull for many people.
 
Welp

I’m not happy about this. I think consolidating the Moderate voters really paid off. I think that’s what the RNC failed to do with Rubio/Cruz/Kasich/etc and they ended up with Trump.

if Biden was the President I’d be extremely happy right now. Trump is fucking terrible. But he makes Biden look like a saint. Biden has baggage and is behind on issues but my hope is that Bernie and his supporters pressure Biden to support MFA at the very least.

Bernie most likely not getting the nomination sucks. But Biden is still okay, and 1000% better than Trump. Perspective.
 
It's just disappointing that this is what the party wants, and it's most likely what they're going to get. Which means, the party being stuck behind still, or at least stuck where they are, and not moving forward in a progressive way. Biden has a lot of issues. Better than Trump? Hell yeah fucking duh. But that doesn't mean he shouldn't be pressured to do better or questioned on his ideas and history.

If this is how it goes, I just don't have much faith he's got a good chance of beating Trump. I don't see it.

Not really what the party wants; but what the people want. People are out casting votes; not the party.
Biden does have a lot of issues - so does Bernie. I don't have much faith Bernie could beat Trump either.
