anti-war progressive Barbara Lee Would Make a Great Vice Presidential Nominee for Joe

[basquebromance]

Barbara Lee Is Proud to be the Progressive OG

The House’s steadiest advocate for peace knows what it takes to stand up for your ideals.

She has been steadfast in her grievances against the military-industrial complex...has not flinched on that issue, at all.

Few members of Congress are so well experienced in both foreign and domestic policy. Fewer members still have been so right so many times on matters of consequence: from LGBTQ rights to abortion rights to climate justice to her early embrace of the Black Lives Matter movement to her courageous 2001 vote to oppose the Authorization for Military Force that Bush employed as an excuse to wage forever wars.

Lee would make the Democratic ticket stronger by exciting the party’s base while expanding its reach.

While Biden is not on board with “Medicare for All,” Lee is all in. While Biden’s record on criminal justice reform has been, to put it politely, troublesome, Lee has been working on these issues for decades. Biden went to war in Iraq and sent his son there, Lee opposed that!

It has been said that Lee is ahead of her time, especially on matters of war and peace. Instead of waiting to praise her in the future, this would be a very good time for Joe and the Democrats to catch up

Probably wants someone younger, but she is a great choice, just need someone to get the millennial vote.

I think I’ll trust President Trump to keep us out of unnecessary wars than some globalist pig.

I remember this article she wrote 2 years ago...

No More Blank Checks for War

With Trump in the White House, Congress must reassert its role in governing the use of military force.

www.thenation.com

Back in 2001, this was exactly the quagmire I feared. Just three days after 9/11, Congress voted to authorize war against the conspirators involved in the attacks and any associated forces. That legislation—known as an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF)—was a blank check for any president to wage war anywhere in the world, in perpetuity, without congressional input.

So your point is Lee would be a good VP for Biden because she agrees with him on nothing and probably despises him. Hmmmm

this is the most important VP pick in history, given Biden's age and all around health

That answer is pretty much in line with the Democratic Party's race based politics, but it plays to the Democratic base, not to the independents who will decide the race. While Biden has probably made this choice to try to counter the lack of enthusiasm Democratic voters, especially black voters feel for him, it likely won't help him with independent voters.

she's young, she's energetic, she's proggressive, she's black, she's a woman, and she's unafraid to fight!

the only thing missing is her being trans
