    Any ticket with Kamala on it , I'm voting for the opposition .... She's toxic.

    “She’s toxic”, Is that Tupac or Snoop?

    She’s not the strongest candidate but someone who will attack at least. Wouldn’t mind the top of the ticket being someone clean (antithesis of Trump) and the running mate being more of an attack dog

    If a moderate wins the nomination, they would be wise to pick Warren.

    If Sanders wins the nomination, he would be wise to pick Buttigieg

    These are all the safe picks for pretty much any ticket.

    I'd throw in Tammy Duckworth too.

    Yes, Duckworth would be a great choice also.

    I’m a little hesitant to put forth someone that wouldn’t give the ticket an obvious boost in a key swing state, but she’s very impressive.

    I know Abrams doesn’t provide any obvious swing state boost, but she has major upside as a leader in the party. She’ll galvanize a key demographic and most people sympathize with the royal screwjob she was subjected to. She’s also someone that can appeal to both sides of the party.

    I think Gillum embodies the same qualities. His past support for M4A might make him appealing to the Bernie/Warren crowd if one of the center-left candidates is the nominee. Plus, Florida. There are many, many paths to 270 with Florida going blue.

    I like her but she is distractingly obese -- way too young to be so big.

    There will be a lot of factors to consider.

    1) Succession planning (given that half the field is in their 70s)

    2) Ideological balance of the ticket to turnout the disaffected

    3) Tokenism to turn out those concerned with representation

    The VP picks could be drastically different for an older hard left candidate VS a younger soft left candidate VS an older soft right candidate.

    ....as opposed to orange, old, fake hair and obese?

    I get that women are held to a different standard and are unfairly judged on their looks, as you just proved. Hell, ask Hillary. It’s probably one of the reasons Klobuchar isn’t doing better. If Klobuchar looked like Tulsi Gabbard, she might running away with this thing. But here we are: you gross old men will only take a woman seriously if she gives you a boner or you feel you have no other choice (i.e. Hillary vs Trump). But I digress.

    Tammy Duckworth would help some with female voters and her military background also could siphon off some voters. She also is Asian American and the backbone to stand up to anything thrown her way. She had both her legs blown off and her shoulder destroyed.... and she got a medical waiver to continue serving.

    I guess you’re trolling at this point. You do you, my friend.

    Stacey Abrams took $5M from Racist Mike Bloomberg to Con Black People in Georgia’s 2020 Election… #BloombergIsRacist

    Stacey Abrams wants Georgians and the entire Democratic electorate to believe that she is the King and/or Queen maker within the state of Georgia. A woman who lost her race, not because of election fraud but because many black voters knew her real political history and not the Hollywood version that was served up by the likes of Oprah and other famous celebrities. She revved up voter suppression of black people to line her pockets with enormous wealth and celebrity, when in fact she worked closely with the former republican governor to redistrict minority areas to favor GOP.

    Stacey has never stood for black people on any topic when it comes to racism that didn’t directly benefit her or her liberal elite white friends. Everyone at the Georgia state capitol knows who and what she is and that was the very reason that the black legislature (not that they’re any better) refused to support her in the primary. There is a quiet disdain about Abrams that spoken in hush tones all across the Georgia capitol on how her only agenda was always for the liberal white elites and aligning herself with republicans when it benefited her agendas.

    Stacey has been quietly working with racists like Mike Bloomberg to control Georgia’s political races for 2020. She has systematically helped erase the candidacy of both a gay black man and a black woman who are both vying for the US Senate seat being held by David Perdue.

    Stacey was paid $5 million dollars by Bloomberg to push Reverend Raphael Warnock into the other Georgia US Senate race against Kelly Loeffler, this was said to be only a ploy to drive black voters to the polls to help down ballot democrats, because everyone knows that Warnock stands no chance of winning that race. He has no appeal outside of the confines of Ebenezer Baptist Church and no background that even remotely qualifies him for the position.

    What’s even more shameful than Abrams gladly taking the money of known racist, flip flopping republican, and Stop & Frisk King, is that Abrams who used black women as her calling card in her 2016 race against Governor Kemp; is purposely silencing the campaign of a black woman named "); background-size: 1px 1px; background-position: 0px calc(1em + 1px);">Maya Dillard-Smith, whose background and education can not be matched by any of the white candidates that are running against her. The Democratic Party are said to have given Abrams carte blanche for any high profile position coming out of Georgia, and that they/she will be the deciders not the Georgia voters on who that will be. "); background-size: 1px 1px; background-position: 0px calc(1em + 1px);">Stacey knows that Maya Dillard-Smith and Marckeith DeJesus are running for the Perdue seat along with the three white candidates, yet for the second time she has chosen to host an event that purposely excluded them.

    Bloomberg also enlisted Stacey and her organization to covertly hire the new manager for Teresa Tomlinson the former republican and mayor of Columbus, Georgia. Tomlinson is running in the Perdue race, and is famously known for saying she speaks Republican and therefore, she would be more equipped to win the racist white votes in rural Georgia. Tomlinson and Bloomberg have a lot in common, they both are closet republicans and they both love prison labor.

    Bloomberg has been running all across the state, lining the pockets of African Americans who are willing to work for him no matter how horrible he is and how bad he will be for African Americans and minorities if he were ever elected as president.

    However, kudos goes out to @BenjaminPDixon for exposing Bloomberg’s corruption and racist rants against African Americans and minorities that went viral on last night prompting the hashtag #BloombergIsARacist.

    It’s insulting that the Democratic Party has allowed Bloomberg to buy his way into the election after all their rants against Trump and his authoritarian views in their eyes. However, Bloomberg is known for his racist agendas in NYC, his backdoor policies against poor blacks, and how he rewrote the laws to allow himself to stay in office for three terms to continue his corruption and racist reign of terror on black and brown people of that city. Bloomberg went into office being worth about $10B but left being worth over $50B.

    As for Stacey Abrams, it’s past time that black people call her out for her lies and elitist fraud agenda. There is no “Fair Fight” in helping erase qualified black candidates because she fears her power will be erased. When will the so-called cancel culture call her out and cancel her?

    From Russia With Love,
