Warren is definitely out, which, again, is so funny insofar as it confirms that her campaign was little more than left-spoiler.

Considering wednesday is noted to have the "VP Nom" before Obama (which is hilarious), im assuming yea.

Susan Rice, Stacy Abrams, Karen Bass. Co-Co-Vice Presidents!

Calling them coco seems a little inappropriate

I debated saying vice-vice, but, jokes over...

susan rice or kamala? CHOOSE YOUR FATE

No Bass.

I don’t understand how you come to that conclusion

Pretty easily--what else did she accomplish by her candidacy? She didn't accrue enough delegates to have a say in the party's platform, she's unlikely to be named to the cabinet given the fact that she's a blue Senate seat in a currently-red state. She was out of contention after New Hampshire, and yet continued to run through Super Tuesday, and we know from polling that her supporters would have broken for Bernie (i.e. the left) more than any other candidate. So, maybe you could have argued that staying in the race was a strategic decision en route to becoming VP--where the position is offered either as a reward for publicly kneecapping Bernie or because she kept her national profile, and her delegate count, high enough to merit consideration as representative of a significant voting block--but then, she would have be named VP for that argument to hold any water. Otherwise, what are you left with? What did she do?

It's Harris.

Kamala

First reaction: cop

Second reaction: COP

i'm good with it...lets go

Probably the two shittiest primary campaigns end up as the winners. Biden's and Harris's primary campaigns both sucked
