Bruh I like how it's not even 2022 but we're already getting a sneak preview of Fetterman VS Dr. Oz I'm gonna cry

We cry moreWhat if Dr. Oz wins
Lee has more experience, is from a further state to balance the ticket, is ALSO a woman and a POC, was the only one to vote against the Iraq War, and was former chairwoman of both the Progressive and Black Congressional caucuses. She ticks more than enough boxes, not to mention Duckworth, while good, wasn't born in the US, so she can't technically be VP, right?
What if Dr. Oz wins
we can come back and laugh at my ignorance later if we're wrong, but i would say Fetterman has essentially a 90% chance of winning that Senate race regardless of his opponent or what happens between now and next November. imo elections are won by two things, vibes and material interests. if you have the right vibes to match ur voters and u can adequately appeal to at least their most pressing material needs, u will win the race and Fetterman can do both. the big man is essentially the top-pick the Dems could have went for in a nominee in Pennsylvania and as long as Joe doesn't like have a dementia fit and personally insult the Philly Fanatic then he should be fine against the extremely lackluster field he's facing.
do you think any Democratic candidate (say, Conor Lamb or Malcolm Kenyatta) has a chance of defeating Fetterman
on that note, while it may be far too early to predict things, I feel like Josh Shapiro might be vetted as a potential Democratic presidential candidate depending on how he performs
he was the highest vote-getter Pennsylvania Dems had in 2020, he won Luzerne County (which Trump won by more than six points), and he may have outperformed Bob friggin Casey in Pennsylvania's 8th congressional district
I'm going to have to go with Cat on this one bossman. the first thing you have to understand about basically any Sanders victory scenario is that the only way it could be fundamentally achieved is if A. Sanders successfully overwhelms the Democratic Party's machinations by sheer force of an energized and mobilized voting base and B. if the Democratic Party allows it to happen. regardless of how it happened, the only way Bernie is making it to a general election without a DNC-supported Mike Bloomberg ticket or some equally awful shit like that is if he's willing to play ball on at least a few crucial things.
That means that he's not picking the woman who essentially stood against the Iraq War alone in the House, from California, which frankly isn't a good state to geographically balance a ticket led by a Senator from Vermont. it simply wouldn't be allowed to happen.
I personally can't put any weight behind Shapiro because of his surname -- sounds too similar to Ben, the manlet king.do you think any Democratic candidate (say, Conor Lamb or Malcolm Kenyatta) has a chance of defeating Fetterman?

Climate changedamn Britain's population by 2095 is tiny
That'd be fine tbh. Not as good as a Democrat winning but the best plausible option rnWhat if Dr. Oz wins
