I know this is not an official poll, but still. Probably just to give the illusion of choice. Andy has already received the call! 28 minutes ago, FameFatale said: if Kamala truly didn't know then her and her team's ability to hit the ground running as hard as they have makes me 100% secure that she would make an amazing president. 5

Communion Posted July 26 Posted July 26 Odd to see supporters of Shapiro and Israel erase Pritzker's Jewish identity in these weird campaigns. Feels eerily similar to 2016 and 2020 where progressive Jews often saw liberals deny their Jewishness. 2
Bamboo Posted July 26 Posted July 26 Them actually using the "Trump is old and weird" messaging is so 5

NausAllien Posted July 26 Posted July 26 So... worst VP pick would be Josh Shapiro because even though it might improve her chances in the Rust Belt, it'd alienate her young and progressive voters due to him being a Zionist (and comparing anti-war protestors to the KKK). It's a shame because I liked him at first, but I didn't know much about him to be honest. As a teacher, I'm super against school vouchers, he backed a GOP school voucher program. 2

N.M.K. Posted July 26 Posted July 26 Feel free to go through this thread and online where Shapiro is continuously singled out as the Zionist. You can object to his response to the campus protests or his hostility toward public schools. I don't like where he stands on education. But my point is the casual blending between the two and what that means. 1

Just as conservatives can be racist for claiming Kamala is a "dei candidate" while supporting Black and brown candidates like Ben Carson or Nikki Haley, progressives can be antisemitic for only choosing the use the word Zionist to describe the one Jewish pro-Israel candidate while supporting Jewish politicians like Bernie and Marianne.

Part of being someone working in defense of a far right apartheid state means you walk with the smugness to not realize these conversations have occurred at length already about this that saw lengthy discussions on how even Walz and Beshear are weak on holding Israel accountable. But that most people are calling Shapiro a Zionist before anyone else is because he's the only candidate to both openly ID as one and publicly and loudly support Israel online as far back as Operation Protective Edge. 2 1 1

I'm downvoting Shapiro sis and not you!

NausAllien Posted July 26 Posted July 26 8 minutes ago, N.M.K. said: So what does Zionism even mean then? Lmao I know most progressives might disagree with me, but I don't believe Zionism (understood as the idea that Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish state) is intrinsically bad. However, supporting Netanyahu's war crimes and crimes against humanity is indeed WRONG. It is also problematic to attack those who criticize his actions, provided that such criticism is not violent or anti-Semitic. Ultimately, we should all strive for peace in the region, seek an end to the bloodshed, and work toward a solution that satisfies both Palestinians and Israelis, enabling them to live peacefully. 2
