Nah. I feel like, after Bundy, America would have a subconscious adversity to handsome young legislators from coastal states. More importantly, your President just got indicted for doing actual murders, I don't think any secrets you have (like your mistress) will stay secret for very long.

True, true.

Note that he was at a Al Sharpton town hall.



Pete meanwhile was at a Dick Gephardt town hall.



Personally I don‘t think it’s that unusual-young Hillary was a Goldwater Girl,Blair a Trot and Bastani and Darren Grimes Lib Dems. People change,they don’t just stay the same politically forever.

Also hot take-there is nothing wrong with how Pete talks. It is perfectly normal.

Fun fact; Pete's dad was a capital-M Marxist. He was the first guy to translate Antonio Gramsci into english.
 
Power rankings of hypothetical AOC running mates

1. Greg Casar (Rep. for Texas, 2023-)
+ Squad member and former DSA
+ Southerner
+ Decades of social activism and union rep.
+ elected with %60+ of the vote (popular)

2. Jon Ossoff (Senator for Georgia, 2021-)
+ progressive-to-moderate / "pragmatic"
+ Southerner
+ Currently the youngest elected senator
+ Dedicated online fanbase of "Ossimps"
+ Introduced legislation that would ban members of Congress and their spouses from trading stocks
- doesn't support the Green New Deal
- pro-iron dome
- seems like too much of a headliner to accept VP
- age can be spun as inexperience

3. Jeff Jackson (Rep. for North Carolina, 2023-)
+ Veteran
+ Southerner
+ Huge tiktok following
+ called "anti-establishment"
- member of the New Democrat caucus
- litte-to-no national profile

4. Ruben Gallego (Rep. for Arizona, 2014-)
+ Veteran
+ Southerner
+ Member of the Progressive and Blue Collar caucuses

Any Midwesterners in consideration

I think Jackson might be best purely on account of not opening up a crucial Senate seat (assuming he doesn't run for Senate in the future) and being broadly inoffensive, maybe Gallego if foreign policy is a top 1 issue for the election

Usually the veep is a person that might shore up a demographic that is key but might be less secure: White moderates/WWC for Biden, Evangelicals for Pence, and Black voters for Harris.
AOC might be less secure with idk, older and/or white voters potentially.

@Catalunya @Yokai Man Also I think nobody who runs for political office or is ambitious is usually normal. Most of us who are interested in politics aren't normal, to be honest. Most people just aren't that plugged in.

At the very least there's Sharice Davids or Tim Walz

depending on what year she runs this list could expand considerably.

personally, as far as Midwesterners go, my hope is that Tom Nelson will ascend to statewide office in Wisconsin soon because the man is essentially a perfect fit for "Progressive Reformist Vice President to the first Socialist President of the United States".

Well yeah depending on the year the roster could get plenty expanded. I was just working with the folks we have on offer now, something like a 2028 election
