> [@Chronos](#): > > If we aren’t talking about it, that’s evidence that it’s not weak. A VP that nobody talks to is a VP that’s doing their job. Nobody ever talks about the VP unless they screw up. Mostly I agree but Biden is old enough that there is a fair chance the VP will become the president in the next 4-5 years (and Trump is old too and showing distinct signs of decline so his VP pick will matter too). Personally, I think Harris would make an ok president. ---

She was one of my top choices for nominee, back when a lot is democrats were running for that slot. I’ve seen nothing to change my mind. Of the people available, she seems about a good as we’re going to get. So I’m happy to keep her as VP. ---

I don’t see how whatever lickspittle yes-man Loser Donald puts in his corner could possibly be a better pick than Harris. ---

Irrespective of what other interactions you’ve had with this poster in other threads, it’s not a basis to make assumptions as to their motivation for comments made in this thread. Let’s stick to attacking the positions, not the poster, and feel free to solicit citations. I am attacking his position, the position he’s made abundantly clear in two other threads. ---
