Two national progressive groups will publish an open letter to Joe Biden today urging him to select Sen. Elizabeth Warren as his running mate, the latest in an effort by the Democratic Party’s left flank to push a progressive onto the ticket.
“Senator Warren is deeply qualified to be our next vice president, bringing decades of experience and a track record of leadership on issues from the Green New Deal to fighting corporate greed and corruption — issues that excite the progressive voters you’ll need to win the White House,” the letter says. “Few senators have fought harder and more consistently for the kinds of structural reforms that would lift up working-class families and communities.
Progressive Democrats of America polled its email list last week on their preference for vice president. With more than 1,000 responses, Warren finished first, with 52 percent support. Sen. Kamala Harris of California finished second, with 18 percent.
Please no on Warren.
Ugh. No, thank you. White On White Septuagenarian is not a winning proposition. Or desirable for that matter.
Let him make his own choice!!!!
Every year I publish an open letter to Santa urging him to bring me a unicorn and he never does. 🦄
No...not another open letter!
I agree. She is the smartest most engaged candidate there is.
If he doesn’t choose a black female candidate under these most disturbing and trying times he may very well lose this election. All white female candidates should bow out of this race like Amy Klobuchar did. It’s time to start acting like you care about America’s racist past!!!!
I've never seen any group campaign so fucking hard for a participation trophy...
Stop giving these white “progressive” groups airtime and publicity. NeverWarren KamalaHarrisForVP BidenHarris2020
F them with this non-stop bullshit.
JasonOverstreet Warren is not progressive. She is a Republican turned establishment Democrat. She rode the progressive wave on Bernie’s coat tails. She does not appear to be authentic in her beliefs.
Yay!
Barbara Lee would be a much better choice.Warren burned her Progressive bridge months ago
Sure, Biden should pick the candidate that lost every single primary, including her own state, is white (I think), and is 70+ years old.
As a constituent of Elizabeth Warren who has proudly voted for her five times, I hope joebiden selects KamalaHarris as his running mate.
Warren could tell these organizations to stop this but she won't. It is just one more example why she's a bad choice
He is going to choose a woman of color. BernieBros gotta go.
No!!!!! She couldn’t win her own State during the primaries!!!!!
I hope Biden has a secret plan that he would give the candidacy to Warren at the last minute.
Karens going to do what Karens do
The first white woman of color wants to be VP so bad
I wouldn’t advise it. Black women are not going to return to the back of the bus. It’s our time. We put in the work all over America. It’s our turn. We are not willing to pass in order to make others feel comfortable. 📅 Our time is now. ⏰
We see you. 👀
*yawn*
these comments are PRESSED lmao. Stay mad!
ScottWRasmussen No and no
Let's hope so. That will help Trump even more .
Apparently they want to re-elect Trump
He must pick a woman of color. He must!
All that’s left is for her to throw her panties at him. Has the woman not heard of dignity?
Rut Rho
ewarren you need to bow out. This is not your time. This effort is an embarrassment.
Nope. Harris is the correct choice. And if he’s stupid enough to pick a white woman who lied about being native, over a black woman, he’s done.
Trump war time president against America , heightening racism, against wearing mask during coronavirus pandemic, open business when coronavirus is highly contagious spreading virus doing rallies. Putin America’s enemy Trump’s best friend paid Afghanistan to kill American soldiers
“Let me talk to your manager”
Ain't gonna happen.
Hope Biden choses Elizabeth Warren to be the VP. She will make sure the rich and the rich corporations pay their share of taxes. I vote for her. Biden n Warren 2020
If Biden succumbs to the obvious bullying for a VP slot that EW is doing along with her Elitist influencer friends it will make me see Biden as weak and will make me question his ability make decisions on his own...
Oh stop, she is Bernie's girlfriend and her ideology doesn't go with Joe Biden's, she can go off and be Sanders only friend again, we don't want her for VP
Warren is a hard NO for me.
Warren needs to stop
OFFS
Here’s my reply letter.
Why is this happening again?
Sure. He’s 71-year-old white woman is the perfect person to mobilize young blacks in this country and Hispanics. Why not put Bernie Sanders on the ticket? After all, he should be president anyway…
Hopefully those letter will be read, then tossed in appropriate files🙄
Beyond it being wildly offensive to advocate for an all white ticket *now*, it’s just so tacky to campaign so openly for the position.
She needs to have some self-respect and publicly put a stop to this. It's getting pathetic.
No
The first one wasn’t pathetic and damaging enough?
No
And a majority of Democrats reject Warren yet again. She needs to be grateful that she still has a Senate seat, read the room, and withdraw from consideration, the way Amy told her too. She just keeps embarrassing herself with this PR campaign.
Nope. Too old, too white, too removed from civil rights.
Which progressive groups?
NOT
gregpnyc Rice is the one
No. No. No.
Hopefully they include some black people this time
Aren't they still the people that gave EW all those 🐍? 😅😅😅... They need to make up their mind!
I like how folks talk about how stabby the Khive is, but Warren and her stans keep pushing pushing pushing to get their way and this is the most Karen thing I’ve ever seen
Classy move, get the manager out here.
'Progressives with EW' be like... 'pay attention to us!' 😅😅😅 ... Yeah... We see you!
The POC posers love to forget Elizabeth Warren's written commitment to issues concerning BIPOCs
two progressive groups don't realize how weak Joe Biden would look if he were to capitulate -fixed it
Anyone saying “read the room” in the replies needs to stfu if you voted for a white candidate.
Democrats rejected Warren resoundingly in the primaries. This woman sure can’t take a hint.
Reminder that the same “progressives” called her a snake for exposing Bernie. No thanks, we have the best one 👇🏽KamalaHarrisForVP
It. Ain’t. Happening.
She didn’t even win her own state. Give up.
At this point in time an all white ticket it just ludicrous. I wanted Rep. Warren as president not VP, and the field of Black females is large. What is the matter with everyone. BLM is crying outloud for REPRESENTATION. GIVE IT TO THEM OPENLY NOW!!!!!!
Why would we want to lose? Fuck that shit.
This is so tacky, white supremacy rearing it’s ugly head. Personally, who JoeBiden picks as his VP is entirely up to him & no one else.
Oh enough! Joe's going to pick, not you guys. If you want to pick a running mate, run for president and good luck with that.
Lol why? they didnt vote for her when they had the chance.
🙄
Kamala all the way. Warren needs to keep her seat.
White populists really just desperate.
This is pure crap by these so call progressive group
Simply not happening. We do not need two septuagenarians on the Democratic ticket. We need a younger candidate who can be groomed for four years to run in 2024. Warren is a viable option for Secretary of the Treasury.
Ask me if I care.
He should but he can't now. Already promised a woman of color. Going back on that would be disastrous. Fence sitters would lose faith & trust
Thinking progressives do not want ewarren to be VP. Her selection (regardless of their supermajorities in MA) could cost the Democrats her senate seat. Losing it could cost the Democrats the Senate majority & without it there can't be the reforms & policy progressives desire.
I dumped you for a reason, honey, please stop texting me.
Ok...this just getting silly
She's too old. Biden's too old. But since he is already the presumptive nominee, he should pick someone much younger, like Kamala Harris, who is only 55.
Newsflash: they aren’t “Progressive” groups if they back Warren! 🐍
Warren could not even win her own state during a bid for the Democratic nomination.
In no universe will Biden pick Warren—not because of her qualifications, progressiveness or age. The Gov of MASS is a Republican. Though Charlie Baker is anti-Trump, there is NO WAY he picks a Dem to succeed Warren’s Senate seat at a time when party control of the Senate teeters.
We want Kamala! We want Kamala!
No thanks. JoeBiden pick KamalaHarris Please, JoeBiden pick KamalaHarris Please, JoeBiden pick KamalaHarris Please, JoeBiden pick KamalaHarris Please, JoeBiden pick KamalaHarris Please, JoeBiden pick KamalaHarris Please, JoeBiden pick KamalaHarris
Just, no.
I like her but, no!
So we can definitively rule her out now.
Fuck them they have learnt nothing,
It should be on merits alone, Elizabeth Warren is the most accomplished, exciting candidate and brings with her a lots of otherwise recalcitrant voters, progressives and millennials.
I love Warren but now is not the time for an older White woman to be VP. The moment calls for a woman of color, a younger voice, etc. That person should be Kamala Harris.
No, gracias
They can get bent. I'm done listening to that faction until they grow up.
“Nobody wants 2 old white people on the ticket “
No.
One thing you can say about Warren is she consistent ~ all she knows how to do is cheat
No, just no.
When the obvious choice America wants is a black women leave it to the BernieOrBust diehards to want Bernie in a skirt. 🙄
You mean the 'Never Biden' people? The 'Tara was right' people? Now they want to force their agenda in the middle of the BLM movement? Just goes to show that the FAR left and far right are on the same racial page. We don't negotiate with terrorists.
It was a bad look when Abrams campaigned for the spot. The last public group letter for Warren was an error. Continuing this path is a tremendous mistake. She needs to shut them down.
Awesome. A ticket with two septuagenarians. About as stupid as I expect from progressives. You can be sure that if Biden were picking a 70-something-year-old running-mate who *wasn't* a so-called 'progressive', they'd be screaming their heads off about her being 'too old'! 🙄
He needs to pick a woc. That’s it. That’s the tweet.
Kamala.
They need to FUCKING STOP. Enough already!!!!!
Oh brother. That's pathetic.
Well, it’s clear to me. They don’t want a WOC on the ticket? But why not? The answer may be in the racial and gender breakdown of these groups.
Entitled white progressives acting entitled.
I’m just tryna figure out how you come in 3rd in your own state, withhold your endorsement of the democratic nominee longer than Tulsi fucking Gabbard and think you deserve the VP slot.
No.
TeamBiden reading this letter:
Here they go with this bullshit...
Racist White People in the Democratic Party Elizabeth Warren did not help Biden win the election Black Women/ People did! If Biden thinks he’s going to choose Others for VP He Will Lose!We’re not afraid of suffering!!! We are the descendants of Slave! We’re Not Good Enough?
This is not cool. This is selfish to continue
Not just no, but
JFC The audacity
Does she count as a woman of color since she is 1/1,600th native American?
Here's my letter. Don't trust a snake who didn't win any primart states and came in 3rd in her home state of MA. 🐍 ewarren isn't a progressive, she's a liar and a fraud that set back the progressive moveent for 30 years.
Fuck them. No. This is PATHETIC.
No thanks
POC? POS for sure.
Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha It's not going to happen 😎 Joe has already made his pick. He just hasn't announced her. WOC do NOT want meemaw and neither do we.
He might as well just stop all the vetting he’s been doing and listen to these two groups. I’m sure these open letters are totally going to persuade him. 😏
It almost seems like they're secretly working against her. These letters hurt her chances more than they help. But, carry on. 🤷♂️
The more letters they send the worst her chances get. He’s already made his choice and it’s not her. Move on please
Urging or threatening?
Biden will not be pursuaded. He is getting good counsel and will make his decision based on that counsel.
And risk losing a valuable Senate seat?!
OMG this is getting ridiculous now. White America simply cannot allow another black person to be top of the heap. THe entire apparatus gunned early for Kamala, took out Booker & Castro & ignored the other POC who weren't making progress. Now they want to block them from VP too
😂😂😂😂😂 yes, please do!
Is Warren now an African American, and no longer an Indian?
JoeBiden TeamJoe Do not pick E. Warren as your VP. PLEASE NO.
Why? Wtf? 2020 is definitely not the year for an all white ticket. Nor is a Ticket with 2 septuagenarians reasonable. And Biden already said: a Black woman. And he knows who saved his campaign. Just stop it know. EW again showing no class... she could pull a Klobuchar and stop it
Oh ok.... An AARP ticket in a pandemic world. Sounds like a solid plan.
Pandering is not gonna make him pick her wth is wrong with people😒😒😒🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
🙄
I reeeeaaaaaally don’t want a republican governor filling her vacant senate seat
“Both Warren and Sen. Bernie Sanders fell short.” They were crushed.
The letter, from Progressive Democrats of America and
You all need to stop with your rich whiteness trying to control everyone else.
They just keep hammering this broken nail. Looking depraved to get an all white ticket
Thank you MeeMaw supporters for keeping USPS in business.
No!
Wrong choice.
Seriously again!? How much misogynoir are we supposed to put up with before JoeBiden drops her from his list!? This has to stop. Look at the people running this org.
Lai lai!
Ugh. I’d rather be not.
Progressive have did shit for Joe Biden but black people have KamalaHarris
Again?! ewarren does not learn. Not a good quality in someone who wants to be a leader.
It will not be Warren. This is getting ridiculous.
And this is meaningful ... because?
How about, no.... Kamala Harris please.
Or what? They’ll act like overgrown entitled babies? Whatever
Is she identifying as a “Black Woman” now? And the Democrats will let her get away with it, and Scream “Racism” at Trump2020 the entire time
Nonsense president and VP in their 70's!
Nope Kamala Harris.
Yet when Bernie was in the race, Warren wasn't progressive enough......
JoeBiden this is NOT WHAT OUR PARTY WANTS OR EVEN NEEDS.
We don't care. We don't want Warren. If we wanted Warren, she would be the nominee. She isn't the nominee BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT WARREN.
AmbassadorRice for VP
No. Warren is not the one.
No no no no no
Again? Ugh.
lol, Who will Warren be acting as . A Indian , A collage Professor, A Chef, A Mohel , A Bartender School teacher , a Nut job ?
The Dems have no other options. There is no woman of color with enough name recognition that the black community will support in numbers to make a difference. Warren isn’t progressive. She fell in line.
Democrats are just such a mess now. A presidential candidate who many think is senile. Proposing a VP candidate who many rejected already. And their dealing with the pandemic has been the absolute worst. Pandering displays of 'solidarity', which include massive crowds. Oy.
'supported Sanders in the primary' not these sh*tbags, again, surely
NO. Geez, read the room, people.
Don’t they understand this isn’t gonna help her at all. Matter of fact that is making it worse for her.
No. ewarren has her own agenda. She will not fully support Biden. I do not trust her since she endorsed Booker at Kentucky primary against Amy Mcgrath who was neck in neck with mitch. Why did she do that?if ppl wanted her, they would have voted for her.
I like her, but no. She won’t be loyal VP. She’s too rigid for Biden
Too much baggage, we need her senate seat, too progressive to snag the Republicans, and it's time for a black woman in a position of power not simply a token to snag the black vote.
If she's such a great choice, he knows that. The fact they are pressuring him means he's not impressed & why should he be? At this time of loss of civil rights & the ACA, why would an over-70 former GOPer who can't carry her home state & said JOE should run in GOP be a good pick?
Didn’t they do this last time? Pretty sure they fucked it up bc of the racism contained in it.
KamalaHarris is the best choice!
Again? Didn't this backfire the last time? Will they never learn?
AND WE WILL ALL CONTINUE TO PRAY NEITHER GETS IN!
Good. Because we need a minority woman on the . . . Oh wait . . . Never mind.
I don’t care if he picks Donald Rumsfeld in a wig. Still far better than trump.
She is not Black, but maybe Native American would be acceptable. Sure helped her a lot in the past to get ahead in the line.
It's funny that they think Biden has any say in it. Biden is a tomato, tomatoes don't make decisions.
I 3 Liz, but the ticket would be too white. :/ SenDuckworth is looking like our next Vice President and I am liking this ticket more and more. BidenDuckworth2020
Yes!
Are you kidding me already.
Amazing that everyone knows who he should pick....he’s going to choose well, and I wish everyone would stop this.
Hahaha, it won't matter he has to choose a African American running mate at this point whether its a man or a woman.
Great idea.
The open letter should be asking him to cede the election now to Trump rather than be totally humiliated during the debates.
Nah
It has to be Susan Rice
Which progressive groups? The Federalist Society and ALEC?
BLM will love this. A VP candidate who is 1/1024 a person of color.
No. She needs to be our next Senate Majority Leader.
ughhh whit privilege. If Kamala or any other got this, she would be accused of Pandering or called desperate. We need a QUALIFIED black woman VP. Thats Kamala Harris
Lol. That would be a disaster
Hell no she wants open borders
I think she would be more effective in the Cabinet. The VP is rather useless except as a figure head.
Biden can pick a chimpanzee as VP candidate for all I care. I’m not saying it’s not important, but, I’m not going to let his pick stop me for voting for him. Any one of those being vetted is hand and foot more qualified than Pence.
She would be better in another role in his administration. Susan Rice should be V.P.
Mayor Pete as Chief of Staff. Bernie Sanders as Secretary of education. Kamala Harris Attorney General
Listen to those who've worked on Democratic VP selections: Will help you sift the crap from the effluence. PodSaveAmerica
We cannot have an ancient all white ticket.
Choosing Nina Turner would check all the boxes. And she’s still respected by a large portion of progressives
🤣 Yeah! Good luck w/that!
He said he wanted a woman of color, and Elizabeth Warren is a Native American. She said so herself for most of her adult life.
VP will be a POC.
Elizabeth Warren is progressive? 🤔
We’re good, also progressive lol
No.....
Stop it!
Oh great, more Warren letters. Is Laurence Tribe a part of these, too?
white privilege in action. They've always been tonedeaf about communities of color. The least the can do is sit down and be quiet. Their low info egoic spoiler stunt in 2016, helped Putin usher Trump into the Oval. What? Did they think we forgot?
PARISDENNARD Someone let Biden know he’s running first.
Yeah he needs some color on the ticket
No! She's too valuable in the senate as a legislator
Cool but the Black vote needed in battle grounds states will not be moved to come out....
The Billionaires have had their decades- it's time for Joe Biden to do right by the American people. This Pandemic has made it clear that without structural change, there will be no more middle class; we are all precarious. Warren is the answer. God bless them both.
She is FANTASTIC! But, shouldn’t it be an equally fantastic woman of colour at this point in history? The rest of the world will be watching what happens very closely.
No
