I never pegged him as that far liberal. I guess now his true colors are showing.

Exactly gun control is a liberal position not a leftist one.

Uh, those are the same thing lol. And magazine limits are certainly not a centrist position, not anywhere in this country.

Gallup has done national polling on this this subject and an actual majority favor candidates who support magazine limits. It’s not a fringe position.

Why not?

(Btw, I did not include age in the foregoing list, because my personal opinion is that no one over the age of 70 should be in the position to be POTUS -- and I am 65, btw!)

Anyway, if the Democrats choose two straight white males and the Republicans choose two white straight males, then what? We would simply be in the same position regarding the national election that we were in until Geraldine Ferraro won the Democrat VP slot in the 1984 election. Believe me, the world would probably not come to an end -- although the protests would almost certainly be something to see, I think!

He shouldn’t because there are plenty of qualified people who aren’t straight white males and it is important that all the people in this country who aren’t straight white males see someone else in leadership. The idea that only a straight white male would be qualified to hold the office of VP is laughable. There is plenty of data that suggests that having diversity is better for everyone.

An independent centrist means you represent most of us in this country and no politician has any interest in that group. Only the far right and the far left are of any interest to politicians.
