The strategy is going to be "We get to do what we want, and you leftists will just have to fall in line or you will be blamed for fascism taking over." That's what they've done since Clinton 2016, and it's worked for them. 2 1 1

choerry Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Praying we get a tweet saying Beshear is on his way to Washington D.C. If Shapiro made it this far into the vetting process, there's no reason Beshear shouldn't have.

I saw someone suggesting we'd soon be going to war in Iran based on Google search results that showed DC pizza places busier than usual at 9 PM / DC gay clubs not as busy etc and people trying to brand them as "rules" for predicting things.

Communion Posted August 4 Posted August 4 This is something interesting of note and why the primary process is so important to make centrist politicians aware of progressive voters. In comparison, Shapiro ran unopposed in PA after he became such a nuisance that Fetterman offered to not run against him for governor if he stopped obstructing issuing pardons as part of the same board he and Fetterman sat on. 1
shelven Posted August 4 Posted August 4 The Wikipedia thing seems like one of those political pseudoscience things that's right once in a blue moon but mostly irrelevant. I've said in here twice today that I ultimately think it'll likely be Shapiro, but I don't think the fact that a Wikipedia page is being updated for a prominent politician who's had approximately 7 different scandals come out about him over the last 72 hours is proof of that 32 minutes ago, Communion said: but weeks ago, PA was the tipping point. It's now back to Michigan being the tipping point This hits on another major issue with the "pick Shapiro because PA's the tipping point state" logic: the argument assumes that tipping point states can't change Like if Shapiro is picked, PA probably leapfrogs over other swing states, meaning a different swing state will now become the tipping point state. And if Shapiro can't help with that new tipping point state (or, worse yet, is actively damaging for it), then what exactly did you accomplish in the first place by picking him? That's why they really should be taking a "high tide lifts all boats" approach to the VP and try to find someone who can marginally improve things across all swing states. Hyper-focusing on one swing state only makes sense if you only need that one swing state to win, not if you still need 2-4 other swing states on top of it 5 6

Blade Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Although it's been made clear that the electoral boost in a state is not the SOLE factor that will be considered when making the pick we can still go that route: Shapiro Helps: PA (possibly guarantees PA it if the state is close) Hurts: MI Neutral: WI, NC, GA, AZ Walz Helps: PA, MI, WI, NC, GA (although it will be marginal in all based on flipping more moderate midwestern and southern voters who respond well to the way the way he presents progressive policies) Neutral: AZ Beshear Helps: PA, NC, GA (same as Walz but slightly less broad appeal) Neutral: MI, WI, AZ Any feel free to disagree or weigh in
ClashAndBurn Posted August 4 Posted August 4 Idk, feels like the more bad info comes out about Shapiro, the more likely he is to be picked purely out of spite. 3
