But of course the DNC will choose a moderate instead.

One one hand, hell yeah. One the other hand, he's older than Biden and has heart disease.
Make him VP to Harris and I'm ready to go.
VP to AOC
That would be the best timeline.
I'm on-board with anything to defeat diaper Don. Give me Mitt fuckin' Romney as VP. As long as it guarantees fascism doesn't win, I'm all for any candidate that can get the votes. If that takes a coalition like France just had and some compromise, so be it. I don't think we'll see a traditional R and D party split like in the past. Now it's all against F.
Defeat fascists at all cost.
That’s what I’m talkin about

I honestly think Bernie can do more good as a senator than as vp.
Even though he's old, I think it'd still work. By keeping her as VP there's continuity of Biden's administration and she's ready to take over if he doesn't complete the term. He has broad appeal with Independents which will bolster their chances of winning in November.
Just saying that a lot of folks are over the gerontocracy, and even though Sanders is great, his age is going to be a tough sell.
Also, Harris is already on the ballot, she’s the backup voters already picked, and the campaign apparatus and war chest would just roll into her now.
I have nothing against Harris, but we already have people whining about the primary that was basically unopposed for Biden. I don't know that the US voting system is organized enough to crank out another primary, but it might be worthwhile.
Not. A chance. In hell.
You can have who Biden endorses, or you can have a floor fight in two months. That’s it. There are no other options available.
Biden would still work. At this point it would be incredibly stupid to pick an even older person than Biden. Bernie as VP to literally any younger person would be a huge boon.
In case you aren't aware, Biden just dropped out.
Bernie as VP would be a bit of a waste. VPs don't do much other than push for their leader's agenda. A younger Progressive would be great, but at this late in the game could be very risky unless they've already been tested on a national stage.
I hear Jimmy Carter is available.
