Its extremely cool of Sady to give black trans women the entire burden of criticizing the Vice-President, a small and marginalized group verses the second most powerful person the country. Also please don't listen to the same trans activists when they call on everyone to join them, its simply not our place to criticize the first POC VP.
The vice president has only two forms of hard power, they are the tiebreaker for the senate and are first in line to replace the president.
Other than that they have plenty of soft power through their position but unless the president is on their deathbed they aren't even in contention for second most powerful person in the US.
On June 1, 1868, 100 Cheyenne warriors invaded the Kaw Reservation. The Kaw men painted their faces, donned regalia, and rode out on horseback to confront the Cheyenne. The rival Indian warriors put on a display of superb horsemanship, accompanied with war cries and volleys of bullets and arrows. Terrified white settlers took refuge in nearby Council Grove. After about four hours, the Cheyenne retired with a few stolen horses and a peace offering of coffee and sugar from the Council Grove merchants. No one had been injured on either side. During the battle, Joe Jim, a Kaw interpreter, galloped 60 miles (97 km) to Topeka to seek assistance from the governor. Riding with Jim was the eight-year-old Charles Curtis, then nicknamed "Indian Charley".[6]
If you have to do war, this is a pretty good way to do it

Is VP really the second most powerful? I think is might be a case by case basis.
