We probably lose his seat in the Senate then. Though we aren’t going to keep the Senate so maybe that doesn’t mattet
Can you imagine a VP debate between an actual fucking astronaut and Peter Thiel’s former blood boy?
HELL YES
Not just that! Fuck yeah!
I hope trump wins out of spite against the snowflakes who’re overly sensitive and don’t understand the implications of how weak of a VP Mark Kelly is.
Based on your personal experience, which color crayon would you say tastes the best?
Spite, eh. You’re a turd, man.
And you’re a trolling shitlord yourself.
Almost 10 comments in this thread and near 400 words from you without one single explanation of WHY Mark Kelly is a bad choice. You’re one example of why voters are so uninformed, you would rather argue than present anything credible for others to learn.
He’s scared. He’s low-educated. He knows it guarantees Harris the White House.
Nah, not going to. Some of the others who have commented have stated their reasons and I sided with them. Perhaps if you’ve taken at least a minute into my post history while you’re downvoting every comment like a little stupid child (hey this isn’t Reddit by the way so points don’t affect me in the rate I’m posting so ha). You would see what comments I’ve responded to!
Like mind blowing shit there.
I would suggest taking some time to evaluate yourself, I haven’t downvoted anything and was looking at your comments to see what your actual thoughts were since you seemed like you were informed on the subject matter (but guess not). I believe you’re the only one here worrying about votes (if it doesn’t matter why even bring it up?). If you’re here just siding with people who comment actual relevant information, just upvote and move on. You’re being the loud voice that says nothing and doesn’t add to the conversation, just making the actual information harder to find with more comments of bickering to scroll through.
You could just state you don’t understand political strategy without also insulting everyone…yikes.
Nope, with you assholes throwing the first stone, it’s no point in doing so. Why entertain assholes with trying to be serious when you pricks weren’t being serious to begin with aside from jousting because you’re ironically being triggered by my responses, huh?
You can’t have it both ways.
Lol wreck’d before I could read it, must have been a gem!
Bawww, some people in this magazine are funny.
Cwy to the modewators, shitheads. lol
Huh?
wat
Did you even respond to the correct post??
Probably not since it could very well be a bot and it just posted it’s copy pasta in the wrong spot.
Jeff Jackson from NC would be my vote. Dude has been pretty great for communicating with constituents, seems to genuinely give a shit, and is pretty progressive.
I want this because in addition to Kelly being a great choice, I want Gabby Giffords as 2nd lady. We need a gun reformer close to the highest office, especially given the recent potshot at the gop candidate.
he’d be great for sure. if we could get gallego and another dem senator to replace him it would be even better. plus katie hobbs being gov would ensure republicans can’t just name whatsherfacenewslady
Hey guys! I’ve got a great story!
Lots of randos on Reddit, Mastadon, and Lemmy are saying “Kelly” should be the VP.
GFY Huff…
Unexpected
HuffPo be huffing something hard.
Not that he would be a bad choice for VP but I want him to stay in the Senate. He can do more good there.
In office vs in Senate I do agree. However I think the good he can do by being on the ticket does more for the nation than if he was in the Senate and Trump won. (Not saying thats the only option but its a possible outcome)
Anecdote time: last week a 30 year old woman I work with stated with confidence she wouldn’t be voting this year. Earlier today she told me she would be voting for Harris and asked who the vp would be. I said Shapiro, beshear, or Kelly. She looked up each of them on Wikipedia and immediately said something to the effect of, “why have I never heard of Kelly? I’d vote for this guy at the top of the ticket. I hope she picks him.”
The guy’s bio speaks for itself. Plus we’d get fun twins hijinks at the naval observatory and I think we as a nation need that.
I would love to see Mark at the top of the ticket, and Scott as his Chief of Staff.
So, we’d swap out a too-old guy for a younger person with a too-old guy as her backup? Sigh…
Mark Kelly is 60. The ideal age for a first-time presidential candidate is 57, so they can retire after two terms and retire at 65. Mark is 3 years past ideal, but still 18 years younger than Trump is now.
He and his twin brother could both complete two full terms and still be 2 years younger than Trump is now.
Mark should be at the top of the ticket, though. He is far more competitive in the contested states.
Pretty sure Kamala Harris is around that age too.
Yes, 59.
“He doesn’t have hair! That means he’s OLD!”
He’s 60 years young. That is younger than average for a congressman.
He can’t even collect social security for a few more years.
Unexpected? He and Josh Shapiro were the immediate go-tos for basically all the news outlets after Harris emerges as the frontrunner for the nomination. Not sure what this headline is about.
That being said, I’d love to see either Kelly or Shapiro on the ticket as VP. Could get some great things done.
I like him, but PLEASE don’t vacate a Senate seat right now…! The balance is too tenuous at the moment. The Rs just lost a seat with Vance that could be filled with someone that isn’t batshit crazy; let’s not pull the same stunt in AZ.
Vance only leaves if Trump wins.
Democratic Governor appoints new Senator to carry out remainder of term. It’s safe. A special election would then happen in 2026.
