No lame white guys. If Kamala wants to be POTUS I think she should go big and pick Whitmer and make an all female ticket. This is not the time to split the baby and appeal to the right with some pasty white guy no one even knows like Clinton did in 2016. That's a recipe for losing. She needs to show the American People a new vision, a new path forward, she needs to make a definitive statement. A Harris-Whitmer ticket would make that statement. If she goes feckless and meek like the Dems usually do, she will be just another wasted opportunity.

That said, unless I hear her say the words "cease fire," "Zionism bad," and "time to rethink our relationship with Israel," I will be voting for Jill Stein.

It's so funny seeing people argue she MUST have a male VP, like we haven't had 220 years of all-male tickets. But TWO women? Oh, that's just ONE TOO MANY!

A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Trump

Mahjar: A Harris-Whitmer ticket has gravitas, but voting for Stein is a vote for convicted felon Trump, his fascist GOP and for a dictatorship to replace our imperfect democracy. Are you OK with that?

A vote for Stein is a vote against the Duopoly and against genocide. It's a vote for People, Planet, and Peace. But, don't worry, I'm in northern CA. Harris will take CA if she's the candidate regardless of how I vote. If she wants my vote, it will take a 180 on Gaza.

Mahjar: I think you joined the wrong platform. You’ll be happier voting for Trump, directly. Look up the photo of her dining w/ Putin and a U.S. military officer of high rank now a Trump ally. There’s nothing but disingenuousness in the so-called Green Party. Every time she campaigns her efforts helps the GOP. Nothing green in the GOP. So sad. So phony.

That's just a lack of understanding of basic arithmetic, to say it's the same as a vote for Trump.

As far as the outcome is concerned, a vote for Stein is equivalent to not voting, Are you saying that every non-voter is also voting for Trump?

I can't see any sitting governor leaving their post to run for VP on the ticket. Perhaps if they're about to be termed out, but for most it is a demotion.

I'm sure Dumpy appreciates your enhancement, by definition!, of his electoral support. You will give, by that vote, the electoral benefit of 1/2 vote to Sh*tsizpants, literally. (used here per its actual, literal definition). Shame on you for hiding behind your apparent privilege.
