We absolutely are, but not as the VP to a non-white woman. The US has a long way to go.

Yep. Who the fuck cares about the right. They want the most morally represhisble person to be their king. Could give two shit what they think about it.

Edit: for all the nay sayer in this thread you are obviously oblivious to the type of pull Pete has. We need to double down on progress. Yes an aging astronaut might look good on paper but the most progressive ticket America has ever seen is also good.

Maybe, but hopefully we'd get someone better than Pete.

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Sadly, not the US.

Sharice Davids?

That would be a fun ticket.

Sorry drunk me after my best friend's wedding

I love Pete. He actually is amazing at his job. Fuckin avoiding a logistics disaster AND getting the union what they want? Putting the screws on Boeing? Fuck that guy can WORK IT. FUCK BEN GARRISON. I think we gotta say fuck the optics- that's what makes us vote for centrists. And before Tankie's get in and call him a fascist, y'all can go fuck a couch.
