Ok, #2 I get. I do not understand that move politically. There is no way, to my mind, that this doesn't at the very least look like quid pro quo.
I do not think that choosing Kaine is a middle finger to progressives. I don't think she had progressives in mind with the pick obviously. But I don't think not catering to a group means she is saying "fuck you." I know our generation takes not paying attention to us as a fuck you, but in reality, it isn't.
Whether you believe her or not, her stated platform is pretty progressive:

Not that that matters, anyways. The oval office is not the one that makes progressive change. Progressive movements always start from the ground up. Local Sheriffs, Councilmen, State Legislators, Congressmen. That's how we make these changes.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
