Trump is almost as old as Biden. Pence, although he looks like a President, is not capable. He was very unliked in Indiana and the signs were that he would not be re-elected as Governor.

Biden will choose someone capable.

There are more of us than I thought. That brings me hope.

It would guarantee independent votes though and it would help heal the divisiveness.
The last thing the powers that be want is to heal divisiveness. That's why I don't believe Rice will ever be chosen.

The next level of understanding is to learn we're being played by the R's, too. And we're all being played against each other.

The world doesn't revolve around your personal experiences.

People tend to stick with their party affiliation as of the age 18.
Well that was kind of silly of you to be so absolutist. Yes, IT DOES HAPPEN. Just not nearly as much as some people believe.

Let me see if I get this logic correct.. our society, through due process and an judgement of peers has found people dangerous enough to be removed from society but because of the coronavirus, their welfare takes precedence over the safety of the community. So if a murderer gets released for covid and goes and murders someone, what about the consideration for the safety of that victim?

-Out of Control Cancel Culture! Careers ruined, overkill censorship so nobody is offended but only one side gets a voice in this. There are calls to cancel PAW PATROL, for Eff's sake!! Because it has police dogs and I guess that is a microaggression or something.
Statues being defaced and destroyed. The mob gets to decide if the rest of us should have them or not.

- Absolutely ZERO tolerance for diversity of opinion or debate. It's either you agree with them or you should have no voice, not only that, you should have your career destroyed or you can be physically assaulted as has happened to Trump supporters and Antifa victims.

This is NOT the party of JFK anymore, JFK would probably be not allowed to speak at most liberal universities today.

Are there moderate democrats who are tired of this crap? I'm not a right winger and I'm not crazy about Trump and can't vote for him but the modern left has gone insane lately. Or at least the loudest voices in the modern left. Why can't you take your party back?

Here, without actually wasting my time reading the thread, let me put my Leftie thinking cap on and answer this...

Don't call me a Wefty and Waa! Yeahbut tWump!

Plot twist, you're not actually a liberal. You're a moderate republican who thinks they're a moderate democrat. Most of your complaints look like republican talking points, or are.

I keep seeing this posted. It is Susan Rice (the liar) that is being considered for VP.

In fairness, Biden is a dementia patient, if the DNC allowed him to pick his own VP candidate, he might accidentally pick Condoleezza Rice over Susan Rice.
