    I’d also vote for Bernie (VP or Pres.), still. But, I think there are younger progressives that could fill the role quite well.

    I’d even take someone more centrist for the VP role, since that might make it easier for them to attract (Super)PAC monies.

      In this moment, any candidate who receives super PAC funding from corporations or Israel is a bad candidate.

      Centrism is dead. The right is dying. This is a time for moving towards socialism.

        We are still a FPtP system, you don’t get to write off the majority, if you want to gain political power through elections. Right+Center > 50% of electorate.

        Taking resources away from “bad” organizations, and using them for the socialist project is a good thing. The trick is not given them (as much) value in return.

      Yeah, there has to be someone out there who is presidential grade and not a total asshole or a party bitch. You know like “we’ll raise your taxes to build schools, but we’ll raise them triple to billionaires” vs “what schools? You look Hispanic we’ll send you to Honduras but after a 3 year sentence”.
