In reply to the discussion: Bitecofer: It would behoove the @TheDemocrats to pressure @JoeBiden heavily on his VP pick [View all]Awsi Dooger
(14,565 posts)That's what a Bitecofer type conveniently ignores. It is an astonishing number. That dial never reaches 40%. Yet Abrams was 42% and Andrew Gillum set the all time world record with 46% of Floridians rejecting him as too liberal.
There is a reason I have been emphasizing that 4642 throughout. Stick someone like that on the ticket and all you accomplish is allowing the Republicans to play the socialist fear card, especially given the age of our apparent nominee. That fear card is going to attach to vital swing suburban voters who are currently on our side but incredibly fragile since they have a history of leaning the other way.
We can't afford to lose any of them via ideological vulnerability.
Turnout is meaningless compared to raw preference.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
