I'm pretty sure smakie has it right…you have to be an independent and you can vote in the dem primary
I remember when I lived in dc, I registered as independent and regretted it when I couldn't vote in the Mayoral dem primary (as that is the actual Mayoral election)
I don't know much about her, but what about Gretchen Whitmer as VP? She has a nice name, at least.

I liked her rebuttal to the SOTU, but most people panned that speach…but would help lock in MI
VP picks are weird, as personally, it's never moved me one bit
how many votes do you think Tim Kaine added…I thought he was a horrible pick

I will go out on a limb and say it will be Kamala Harris.
I saw a tweet that Sanders and Biden should announce their VP picks sooner than later
as actuarial tables show that there is a great likelihood neither will make it to the end of their first term

Great
A woman VP has never happened so I would say any woman VP nominee would be exciting
Otherwise we will never have a female president pretty much
It’s 2020….high time
The idea is to replicate the Obama coalition

Topic for discussion: what if Biden throws conventional wisdom out the window and does a unity ticket with Bernie?
My wife is reminding me that she proposed a Bernie/Biden or Biden/Bernie (depending on who got the nomination) unity ticket this past weekend. Great minds think alike?
Why does everyone assume Bernie would go for this even if Biden was open to it?

From the NY Times:
And so, after all the tumult, the Democratic race has come down to this: two straight white septuagenarian men fighting over the soul of the party — whatever that turns out to be.
Let us state that Mr. Biden and Mr. Sanders have many fine qualities. Either would make a better president than the unstable man-child currently degrading the office. That said, for the party of progress, youth and diversity, a final face-off between two lifelong politicians born during World War II leaves much to be desired. And it says something depressing about the challenges women candidates still confront in their quest to shatter the presidential glass ceiling.

That's a key distinction.
Bummed that Warren couldn’t make in roads as she was at the top of my list.. as some smarter than I person said in a different time she have made a great president but we are too broken due to 45…
Also, a lot of smart and thoughtful people with blue check marks I follow were indicating their support for her, which is part of the problem

warren's supporters were well informed and passionate, but not to the point of insults
Some of her support is going to the bern, wonder what the half-life is on that
