I think realistically it will be Harris-Kelly. I'd like Harris-AOC

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately AOC still has a year till she's eligible. But I totally agree, and I really hope we get to see AOC in the oval office in the next 20 years or so.

She'll be 35 by inauguration day.

No it's not. There's not even an age limit for VP.

To get on the ballOt, she has to be eligible to serve as VP at the time she takes office. If states could impose their own age requirements, red states would have some seriously ridiculous requirements. Filing dates don't matter.

I stand corrected about age limits for VP overall.

I misunderstood, I thought they had to be eligible to be on the ballot, but it does make more sense that they have to be eligible by the time they take office.

Harris with Kelly or Whitmer. I'd vote for Buttigieg but i don't want to watch the attacks on his family.

Harris and Michelle HUSSEIN Obama

One of the reasons I didn't want Hillary was to avoid more dynasties (Bush, Clinton). We need need political families keeping power to themselves.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I think the nominee will be Harris, and her record as California prosecutor is foreboding. I'm unsure she can be pushed left of her right position, but who knows? Let's see her ostensible positions, going forward, and who she chooses as veep contender.

Kamala Harris and Usain Bolt.

Newsom feels like baggage she doesn't need...

And by that I mean he feels "infamous" kind of like Clinton.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Plus wouldn't that be two people from California? Talk about giving the Republicans a conniption fit.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago

No elector may vote for 2 people from the elector's state. If the ticket is Harris Newsom then no elector from California can vote for that ticket. Dem's cannot win in the electoral college without California.
