Pete!

[Cheers]

Pete Buttigieg 

 

First woman president

First homosexual VP

 

 

[Orsay]

Probably Shapiro cause they NEED Pennsylvania to beat Trump

[Devin]

personally, it should be shapiro.

pete being LGBTQ is pushing it.

[Thin White Duke]

Probably Shapiro, but I'm rooting for Whitmer.

 

 

[Gui Blackout]

Either Buttigieg or Shapiro would be perfect

[Bloodflowers.]

Marianne Williamson 

 

[WildAmerican]

i like Shapiro - electorally it makes sense, PA is likely the most critical state 

[feelslikeadream]

Shapiro is the boring, but understandable option.

 

The right option is Greg Casar

Do you genuinely think a Black woman/Gay man ticket could win in America?

[Price of Fame]

Shaprio (win PA) or Cooper (Term limited governor of a sort of swing state) make the most sense strategically. I can see Mark Kelly and Andy Beshear being considered too

 

Buttgieg makes no sense (and I'm pretty sure he and Kamala don't even like each other) and I assume people just voted for him because he's a name they recognize

I believe he was her debate coach in 2020.

I mean if we keep stuck in this "[insert race/gender/orientation] could never win the presidency" mindset we'll never move foward. If it's a good candidate with a good campaign, they can win. Obama showed us that.

[Reginald]

I would love Warren, Ocasio-Cortez, or Sanders

[geddymonster]

Safe choice - Shapiro. PA is a must-win, so anything to shore up support there is a good choice.

 

Risky choice - Cooper. NC is winnable (especially with the loon they are running for governor), so this could be a nice push to turning NC blue.

[Into The Void]

it doesnt matter cause Trump will easily defeat her

they still wont win.  It would be a uphill battle theres not enough votes

[reymiu]

Michelle Obama

[AndThenTheCocaine]

Andy Beshear

 

It can't be Roy Cooper because NC has a Republican lieutenant governor.

Shapiro is only two years into his job though, it might backfire.

[PrettyHurts]

Charli XCX 

[Richie.Valdez]

At this point if she wants to win she might need to choose Taylor Swift tbqfh
