I'm OK with Harris. Not thrilled, but OK.

It would have been nice to get Warren. Sanders has the same age issue (though is still mentally there in interviews) as Biden, and that window has closed. So many people at the federal level have clung to their positions for so long, it feels like as a country, we wouldn't be familiar with people in the primes of their life actually running the show.

At 45, I shouldn't still be waiting for my generation to have any level of power. AARP is coming for me in 10 years.

Harris is good, Pete B is a fucking fantastic politician. Great personality. Great at talking. Intelligent. Great at his job as transportation secretary. Easy on the eyes and the ears.

He'd almost be a waste as VP, because he's doing such great stuff right now. He would be a phenomenal president. He has kids right now, so he probably won't run. But the US and the world would be incredibly lucky to have him as a president someday.

Dude is one of those down to earth people who represents the best and brightest among us:
