crazy idea- i want a democratically elected veep. [View all]

[mopinko]

hear me out here-

i think that in a field that is such an embarrassment of riches, it would be great if the top vote getter gets the top of the ticket, and the #2 vote getter get second banana.

think of how this would change the race, and change it in a way that is going to totally engage the electorate.
it could be debates for the ages. i think it will be. kamala on msnbc giving a full throated defense for newsome's order.

the thought of watching beto and kamala (or any of them) debating, and not having to choose one makes me qvell. not winner take all, but running to be a part of a team.
i would bet that it would encourage the lower tier to stick it out a little longer.
more candidates on the road, doing retail politics for the next year.


cuz i think the game is gonna be- who can fix all these crises.
and how.

a ham sandwich should be able to beat any current member of the republican party. because it will all be hanging out there.
the problem- take you pick. clean air, water, land. rising seas. etc.
instead of trying to pick at each other, we paint the picture for the media.
the people who made the mess.
the people who have failed to do shit.
the people who made it worse.
the people who greased the wheels.
the people who got rich.
the people who were made poor.


the longer we have a bunch of great spokesmen for our party and and our values, the further we expand our zone of influence, and become a "spectacle" for the teevee machine. in a good way.
w a backdrop of investigations and arrests.

a blue wave of truth.

so, here is what i am gonna do- i am going to donate to at least 3 candidates in a minute here. i will be picking those i want in the debate the most.
i want them all to stay in as long as possible.

(also, that might mean we could maybe, maybe, maybe get the boys to let us pick more than one candidate.)
