Kamala’s voting record isn’t bad and is certainly more progressive than *many* senators. She’s also not as rabidly pro-Israel as Biden (but that’s a low fucking bar). It’s very possible and even probable that she’ll govern more progressively than Biden.

She’s still a centrist neolib and a cop (prosecutor) that jailed a ton of minorities.

Both of these things can be true. We don’t need to be circle jerking Kamala, she’s not a leftist nor a beacon of progressivism. Voting for her is just a lesser of 2 evils situation, just like with Biden. It’s nice that she’s less evil than Biden though.

If she's smart, she'll take a progressive VP and actually listen to them. Not only would she be more likely to win some of the younger voters over, but the US might even see some progressive policies come from it. Even if she's a Neo-Liberal, and her VP is progressive, and they meet somewhere in the middle on policy, it's a shift in the right direction at least.

What's the best way to eat an elephant?

We’re not getting a VP based on policy. We’re gettigg someone who will boost her in key states. Almost certainly a white guy

And after the race he will be politically irrelevant, imagine Obama’s Joe Biden, can you remember any of his achievements from his 8 years as VP?

If she wins she definitely tries reelection and a progressive would just be wasted doing a show pony’s job for 2 terms. Also another escape valve for the administration: “Look the president stands with our ally and the bombing but the VP made a strong speech yesterday about protecting innocent civilians and how (insert country) needs to do better.”
