    A leftist VP can be a good foil for a president, a voice in an administration. And if Harris is nominated, wins, and a MAGAt nutter manages to murder her, then they would be president. A leftist that was vocally supportive of the Palestinian people could help reclaim some of the people that are threatening to sit out the election (…despite what a Trump win would end up meaning for them and the Palestinian people…).

      I absolutely understand what you mean, but the only politician I’d trust to represent the Palestinian cause is Tlaib, and as I understand it Michigan isn’t ready to give her up

        I think that Rashida Tlaib would actually be a bit too much for some ‘moderate’ voters, unfortunately. Depressingly.
