Wouldn't Nina Turner check all the boxes? A progressive black female senator... Oh right she does not check the most important box of all: "corporate sellout"

[laleau]

Was Nina Turner an option in that poll? I am guessing data for progress didn’t include her since she is not part of mainstream VP discussion. But my guess is Nina would crush Warren overwhelmingly.

Krystal and Saagar: "Bernie supporters want Warren as VP."
Bernie supporters: *laugh hysterically*

[james-sc]

When your qualifications for anything involves race or gender you already lost.

[kei]

putting a black person on supreme court? like Clarence Thomas?

Stacy Abrams is on the board of directors for The Center for American Progress, alongside with John Podesta and Neera Tanden. (Corporate Democrat Think Tank)

Nina Turner is THE ONLY VP choice that will get me to vote Biden....

[JorgeHernandez-ohxv]

I wouldn't want Elizabeth as VP, I'm thinking more like Tina Turner if they want Bernie supporters.

[lilly]

Literally does not matter who he picks..not voting for Biden!!

[TechnoEstate]

There's only about 2 VP picks who *could perhaps, MAYBE* get me to support Biden over Trump:
1) Bernie Sanders
2) Nina Turner
Warren though? Don't make me laugh!

[DanA-nluo]

Briahna Joy Gray is a black female who would also being our progressive voters.

[sand]

The only good choice is Nina Turner, but no way the corporatist would go for that if she would even agree to it.

[JohnSaucier]

Sanders supporters want Elizabeth Warren? yeah right. Nina Turner all the way.

[chamboyette]

I'm not voting for Biden unless he picks Nina Turner or Bernie.

[intorpere]

Disgusted with anyone that votes for Biden, no matter who he picks for VP.

[jewellstarsinger]

Condoleeza Rice was a womun of color and how did that work out for us? Is Kamala Harris. Condoleeza 2.0?

[marklarmcfizzlestaff]

Nope. Abrams might have worked before she became a Bloomberger.

[SnapCrakleDath]

Who cares. Doesn't stand a chance regardless. Jesus could be his VP.

[AmpedUpTech]

Its funny how Nina Turner was not in the Survey list whoz not Only Black but Progressive aswell which would help Biden enormously to win the election coz Biden already has Black support but the only thing that he is lacking is Progressive support.

[bunnipop]

How are these polls being conducted X'D I'll tell you now I don't like the fact that he thought he could pick a woman as VP and have people fall to his feet over it. But I also don't like the whole "It's gotta be a black woman so we can cosplay diversity, while undercutting voters more efficiently. " Wouldn't vote for Biden if he picked Stacy, Warren, etc. If it isn't Sanders or Nina, you're barking up the wrong tree.
