Do you think Warren as VP will alienate AA voters? [View all]

She is very much in the running and polls very well with independence and I really like her but I also feel this is a unique moment in history with the BLM movement and we need to seize it and also respect the AA Coalition that loyally goes to bat for Democrats time and time again. Do you think if Elizabeth Warren is picked, it would cause controversy?
