re: #242 Targetpractice

The last two election seasons have shown that our biggest weapon against gerrymandering and voter suppression is turnout. And my worry is that a Biden nomination would lead the key demographics we need to turn out to look at the ticket and ask themselves ā€œWhatā€™s the point?ā€ I genuinely cannot remember ever seeing someone who was actually enthusiastic about a Biden presidency, almost every person Iā€™ve met whoā€™s commented on such has been like yourself: ā€œIā€™ll vote for him, butā€¦ā€

One of the biggest emotions the electorate has about politics is a deep, deep anger at how things are being done. They want CHANGE, Thatā€™s how Trump got electedā€¦even though the change they got was not the change they wanted.

To tap into that, you nominate a candidate that embodies change. Thatā€™s Warren (andā€¦sighā€¦.Sanders). Nomianting Biden is Business As Usual and that will not tap into what the electorate wants.
