How about a Biden/Bernie ticket?

[cilla4progress]

Too white, too male.

Biden/Warren, Biden/ Harris? Too moderate (B/H)?

Then Biden/Abrams?

What will get young people excited to vote for a ticket with Biden at the top?

[empedocles]

1. Bad Karma BS

[Thekaspervote]

4. This!!

[LakeArenal]

2. I totally reject young people not for Joe.

I’ve been on campus for a Biden appearance. It was great and very enthusiastic.

Of your choices Biden/Abrams

But not necessarily my first choice.

[emmaverybo]

26. Young people serious about gun control reform can look to Biden for leadership and experience

on the issue.

[cilla4progress]

3. Polling?

Don't have my hands on anything current and accurate.

[TruckFump]

5. Too male.

IMO: Biden - Warren; Harris for AG.

Biden is my first choice because IMO he has the best chance of beating Trump.

[CentralMass]

6. I don't think that their idelogies are compatible.

[still_one]

18. I think a better reason is when you have an older nominee, that nominee should choose a younger VP

[rzemanfl]

7. See below.

Biden/Schiff 2020. Because karma.

[Progressive2020]

8. I Doubt That Either Candidate Would Go For It

I still think that Biden/Sanders would be a good idea. We need to unite the Centrist Dems with the Progressive Dems to beat Trump in November. Whoever gets the nomination should try to balance the ticket in this way. So we need to unite the two wings of the Democratic Party, as well as mobilize and get out the vote. The more Dems that vote, the better our chances.

[cilla4progress]

9. Well said!

My suggestion was only partly tongue in cheek!

[NurseJackie]

13. You'd think that defeating Trump would be a good enough reason in-and-of itself...

You'd think that defeating Trump would be a good enough reason in-and-of itself for the "Progressive Dems" to get with the program and support the party's nominee. But all indications are that won't be the case. Talk on the street is that it's "Bernie or nobody". Sigh. I don't understand people sometimes.

[Progressive2020]

31. Bernie Or Nobody?

I think that you are right if you mean that a certain percentage of Bernie supporter will never support Biden, or Buttigieg, or Klobucher. That said, if one of those Dems get the nomination, there will be a percentage of Bernie supporters that would and *should* vote for whoever gets the Democratic nomination. Some percent of Bernie supporters will not vote for anyone else, so they are written off no matter what percent they are.

Whoever gets the nomination, part of their immediate job, I think, would be to try and unite ALL Democrats, of ALL types and stripes. It is a big tent party, and we will need to get as many Dems mobilized for the General Election as possible. Biden/Sanders was mentioned. I could also see Biden/Warren, which I think would be more palatable for some Dems, since there seem to be more Dems that really dislike Bernie than those who dislike Warren. So maybe Biden/Warren.

[cilla4progress]

10. Or how about VAL DEMINGS!

Gawd I love her....

[OneMoreCupOfCoffee]

11. Biden/Klobuchar

Since we actually need to win the election.

[cilla4progress]

14. Umm...

Bernie‘s outrunning Biden in many state and national polls, is he not???

[OneMoreCupOfCoffee]

16. BS will likely win in Vermont. So what?

We have an election to win.

[squirecam]

28. This

Nt

[Jose Garcia]

12. Too Silent Generation

[scheming daemons]

15. No. You can't have a 77 and a 79 year old

The VP. At least, has to be younger.

[cilla4progress]

20. Good point.

Should have added too old!!

[highplainsdem]

17. Sanders would sink a Biden ticket. Plus it's a bad idea to have two 70somethings on

the ticket.

Biden's running mate should ideally be a woman of color, and at least a couple decades younger than he is -- not just to allay the fears of those with health concerns about older candidates, but to show a ticket bridging the generational divide.

[cilla4progress]

19. I agree!

Who do you propose?

[highplainsdem]

24. Harris, or Stacey Abrams, or Keisha Bottoms. Or Senator Catherine Cortez Masto.

[COLGATE4]

21. Horrible idea

[redstatebluegirl]

22. No Way to Biden BS,

I like Biden Klobuchar.

[Green Line]

23. This is my ticket of choice

After that, Biden/Harris

[NurseJackie]

25. Biden is too smart to go for BS.

The best VP choice will be someone who is still young enough to run for POTUS after Biden's term is completed. Add 8 years to Bernie's age now... and it's clear to anyone that he won't be be running again. He'd be 86 and trying to convince everyone that he'd be fit enough to serve until he's 94. No. Not gonna happen. Bernie will NOT be Biden's VP running mate.

[squirecam]

27. Enough of this

https://mobile.twitter.com/RadioFreeTom/status/1223107997632585733

After tonight, I never want to hear another Democratic voter complain about not feeling "energized" or "heard" or "enthused" or "excited." Vote for your primary choice, and then be ice-cold in your determination to show up at the polls and vote for the nominee, whoever it is.

29. "get young people excited to vote for a ticket"

I'll put this in very plain terms. ANYBODY, young or old, that is not motivated or seeing the absolute necessity of voting this year .. is not worth discussing. And the stark differences currently on display by the parties on issues of concern like climate change, environmental policy, health care, gender equality .. resonate at least as much with the young as they do with any other demographic. With that in mind, think it is a disservice to the young to suggest that they will need an "exciting" ticket for motivation. I think the man, and the party, that is currently in power is motivation quite enough.

[Demsrule86]

30. Biden...will do it all on his own...that being said a good VP is a must...don't want to see Warren

as there is a GOP governor in Mass...and we all know how that played out in 08.

[tinrobot]

32. I think it needs to be a woman. Biden/Harris is most likely.

She checks a few important boxes.

[Kingofalldems]

35. I predicted Biden/Warren a while back and it still could happen.
