    The VP has basically no power other than try to persuade the POTUS behind the scenes, which from what I’ve read, she did to some degree, but to no effect.

    Where she blew it was when she said she wouldn’t do anything different than Biden. That was the end for her campaign. (regardless of whether anyone thinks it should have been that way or not, IMO that was the death blow)

      Yeah, she was going to become a war criminal, but the voters let her down.

      iirc her campaign said “the Biden people” demanded she say that.

      The POTUS didn’t dictate her positions during the campaign. Stop making excuses just because she supported genocide for you.
