If they're smart they'll tap AOC or Bernie for VP.

Instant party unity with zero effort.

Sanders gets us back to the "too old" and has the added benefit of him being historically horrible at condemning atrocities by "Communist" countries.

I dunno, they need to give something to centrists and independents to win. Kamala's base is all totally united against trump already I think.
