Thoughts on Michael Moore's suggestion for a Harris/Whitmer ticket?

If they play it right, maybe. But I’m not sure two women, one of them black, is going to win over those “undecided” votes. Those states aren’t the most progressive places.

Yep - the safe choice for Harris’s running mate would be someone like Mark Kelly: veteran, astronaut, husband to a woman who survived a political assassination attempt, but also white, male, and heterosexual. I happen to think he’s also a pretty decent politician as well.

Mark ticks most of my boxes, but he’s a little conservative on healthcare. Granted, it’s not like we can turn the US on to universal healthcare in the next 4 years anyway, so that’s not really a red flag. He’s a bit of a Zionist, but that’s a pretty complex issue, and while I’d prefer he have a more progressive approach to genocide, he wouldn’t be the commander in chief.
