Let’s say Waltz is truly the lesser of two evil. What makes anyone think he’ll be allowed to have any influence behind the scenes? He was chosen to appeal to people exactly like OOP who think changing the american entity is possible by simply being a guy you can have a beer with. He’ll meekly dissent on sending pinkertons to beat workers while the president sits back and relax because the economic and voter benefits outweigh some uppity emplpyees complaining.

I think if he actually mattered he'd be the presidential candidate, not the running mate.
Hard pass
Hard piss.
Fuck em then, they deserve everything coming except perhaps victory.
If we have forced the Dems to do this via our mass organizing, rather than accepting insufficient concessions, we should continue to build our power and influence until we get some actually meaningful concessions.
It's moreso the reverse, having a VP that opposes the president especially on foreign policy allows them to collude against the White House. This was a big problem in the Obama administration with Biden frustrating Obama's foreign policy at times.
