I would much prefer Warren over any of the candidates. But there is a strong expectation that he picks a woman of color, and if he doesn't then my fear is that it could backfire.
By who? Who has that strong expectation? The moderate Democrat punditocracy trying to create a consensus to box Warren out?

Most people don't care who the VP is, and among those who do, Warren is the overall preference.

Things would have been better under Hillary, but we don't know by how much. California is seeing a rise in Coronavirus cases.

Millions don't have the time for a healthy lifestyle (healthy food, exercise, enough sleep) because corporations force them to work a lot. Corporations make people have a really stressful life. The heart attacks are going up among young people.

Diabetes and heart attacks are a bigger health crisis than Coronavirus. Joe Biden is a corporate politician and he won't do anything to help American workers.
In the immediate term, and until coronavirus has gotten under control, this isn't even statistically true. The #1 current health threat is corona. You are trying to be savvy here and getting it wrong. It's also secondarily destorying our economy, which itself has serious health consequences. It makes nearly everything worse on top of the background problems that already exist.

There's a huge gap between Biden's economic positioning and Trump's and the idea that they're indistinguishable in outcome for issues you purport to care about his shallow.

DT I asked you to do 2 things in my post below. You did none of them. Your few replies to me here have nothing to do with what I have stated. They are more like you are performing a monologue instead of having a conversation.

Look this over and tell me how many Americans died in Iraq. https://www.defense.gov/casualty.pdf

Then tell me how many Americans died from COVID-19 in the last 4 months.

The coronavirus crisis will likely be over by Jan. Heart disease is a bigger problem.

That is not true, it is all just politics. The same rich donors that supported Bush and Romney are supporting Biden. Even some Trump donors are now supporting Biden. It is a game. The rich donors and lobbyists control Washington.

DT I am not trying to harass you here. I am trying to get you to communicate with me because I see that you often don't respond to what people have stated even when they have replied to what you yourself have stated. That's not communication. It's just people making noise at each other.

There are 2 questions that both involve answers requiring "how many". Don't make me take you to school, buddy. ;-)

If you are of a mind to come up with the numbers, I'll check back here later and see if you've done that.

Remember when people would freak out over 3,000 Americans dying in a day?

What do you care about the Iraq war anyway DT? Heart disease, after all, is a bigger problem.
