  1. Yeah, I think Shapiro is the riskiest VP candidate on the list. Also the last thing we need is a VP nominee that Republicans will tie to the Israel/Palestine conflict. That is understandably such a hot bed issue and inviting that to be a bigger part of this election is bad for everyone.
  2. The very left of the Democratic Party still hates Pete. They would fall in line but it would stunt some of the overall enthusiasm if he was chosen as VP. It sucks but it is what it is. It's just not worth the risk to the Kamala campaign IMO when they know he can be so effective as a top surrogate.
  3. Pete lives in Michigan. My VP rankings: 1. Walz 2. Buttigieg 3. Beshear 4. Kelly 5. Cooper 6. Shapiro
  4. It would be smart for Pete to do Fox News Sunday every week until the election. And I think Fox would be up for it. He's the only politician in America that can go on that channel, calmly and effectively destroy their narratives, and they still happily invite him back as much as possible. Gotta take advantage of that.
  5. This classic Onion piece is even funnier imagining it was written by JD Vance. https://www.theonion.com/why-do-all-these-homosexuals-keep-sucking-my-cock-1819583529
  6. Elon's brain is about to pop. We are witnessing his decline in real time, enjoy.
  7. Here's the other great thing about Walz: Leftists love him. He got a lot of progressive shit done in Minnesota. He's walked the walk. They really respect him and it will add more excitement and momentum to the Harris ticket. You'll have a VP candidate that every faction of Dem party will support, and he has the talent/look/background to connect with rural/suburban/Republican voters. Age concerns are nonsense. He's 60 years old. He's a way more lively speaker than Mark Kelly. Shapiro definitely gives Obama vibes and aspirations on the campaign trail. We don't need that out of the VP. Let him run for President in 4-8 years if he wants to. Minnesota has become pretty blue, so you're not endangering the Dem goverenorship there. Again, assuming the vetting process doesn't show any serious issues, Walz is the guy. And strangely I have confidence they'll pick him.
  8. I've never went from not knowing to being absolutely in love with a person in my life. He just fucking gets it.
  9. Kelly can bring Arizona without being on the ticket. These specific state candidates (Kelly/AZ, Shapiro/PA) are the wrong strategy IMO. We need a larger movement with a farther reach and Walz has already effectively provided a rhetoric and background that will win.
  10. Walz is absolutely the best option and I'm glad they're taking that seriously. Obviously needs to be vetted but I doubt there are any skeletons.
  11. FYI Pete and his family now reside in Traverse City. He will help win Michigan.
  12. I go to lunch with my dad and uncle almost every Friday. We talk politics/world affairs a lot. My dad is a Trump apologist, my uncle likes to play devil's advocate and has defended Trump many times. I have respectfully and patiently argued against Trump for 8 fucking years and it's fallen on deaf ears. At lunch today my uncle admitted he never voted before. But declared he's excited to vote for Kamala in November. I was shocked. Something is happening.
  13. He would just blame it on somebody else. He doesn't care about protecting anyone but himself. Don't overthink it.
  14. His last point in this clip is a great observation.
