Maybe it'll come into play when Shapiro's running for reelection. Assuming he isn't made Secretary of State, AG, or… dare I say, Ambassador to Israel

It seems like Kamala's camp was not a fan of his tactics with the video so I don't think so but we'll see.

Wasn't Shapiro literally in the video?

 

I wonder if the leak was sabotage. 

I think they were trying to pressure Kamala by testing the waters and it backfired gloriously.

We LOVE a unifying pick for our party, even though we hate this ghoul 

Walz uniting the right wing Blue Dog Dems like Manchin, centrist Dems like Pelosi/Obama/Biden, and leftists like Bernie AOC and Omar

 

OH TIMOTHER

FWIW my roommate (Jewish liberal) is fuming and says anti-semitism is the reasoning behind Shapiro's veep campaign falling apart and is reconsidering voting this election. I wonder how widespread this sentiment is, and whether those antisemitism attacks will land and have any impact on a traditionally very reliable voting block. I can't help but feel that Kamala will have no choice but to align herself towards the center/right on Israel to combat those allegations and appease them  

Sounds like a petulant man-child having a meltdown for not getting his way.

They're actually having a blast because they think this is the mistake that will cost Kamala the election!

 

Tell me you don't interact with Conservatives and MAGA without telling me you don't interact with them... 

You're from ARGENTINAAA

It is VERY widespread among American Jews. I've seen dozens of tweets expressing that sentiment.

 

But of course, the chronically online echo chamber dwellers here will deny it 

 

AIPAC's been boosting their messages with bot farms for the past four weeks, says the progressive Jew I just spoke to about it yesterday I used to intern with on Capitol Hill.

 

Sit down. Argentina's got a ton of its own problems and I'd recommend focusing on them first.

If I had to say it, Nancy Pelosi is going to go down in the history books as one of the greatest politicians of all time. She is ruthless and does not start a battle she cannot win.

I've seen tons of Republicans already attack Walz for her handling of the BML "fiery but peaceful" riots:

 

 

With Walz on the ticket, Republicans now have a great line of attack. It will be easy for them to create a caricature of Walz and turn off independent and low-information voters. They were struggling to find a way to attack Kamala, but with Walz, it is pretty easy. This is as bad as Trump picking Vance.

 

 

You're coping and seething so hard right now.

 

"As bad as Vance" is the dumbest **** you've posted in a while.

Not to finally take the conversation there but how liberal can someone actually be if they believe their ethnicity has a divine right to dominate others? Zionism at its core is just Jewish Nationalism in support of a Greater Israel and there's a reason why we cringe when even someone as progressive as Dua let's those "Greater Albania" feelings pop out. 

 

There is no material basis for the argument Democrats somehow let down Jewish voters or do not address their needs and they're frankly gonna have to suck up this privileged white nonsense at this point cause an arms embargo on Israel is probably the final home run hit Harris is gonna need to really seal the deal and go "See! I did my part! Your tax dollars aren't going to weapons that kill people at least! Now pay no attention to Israel and Iran duking it out and go the polls!!".

[Graves]

There's something homophobe coded about the way Manchin says "normalcy".

 

[hausofdave]

now why does the guy looks like a slightly older version of Waltz 

 

[shelven]

Having spoken to several of my very pro-Israel Jewish relatives about the veepstakes, the impression I get is that they were expecting Shapiro to be passed on because they think "the US isn't ready for a Jewish VP", not because they think Harris herself is antisemitic. Also they already dislike Harris anyways because they're mad she "boycotted" Netanyahu's speech  

 

So this "Harris is antisemitic by snubbing Shapiro" point might be something that non-Jews try to jump on, but I don't think it reflects what pro-Israel Jews are actually feeling. They're annoyed with the Dems general, but I don't think picking Walz will increase that (and frankly I don't think picking Shapiro would have decreased that because he probably would have ended up taking public positions that they view as too sympathetic to Palestine anyways )

This seems like stale tea tbh, talking about BLM riots  I don't think it will work on anyone but Republicans

You're getting your "sources" about American politics through Twitter, and then have the nerve to lecture what the American electorate is actually thinking….

I can guarantee you I've spoken to more Jewish people literally today than you've probably met in your entire life. I know your entire shtick is to claim you're the sole knowledge-bearer of what every type of voter is thinking, but you might want to sit this one out before this starts getting perilously close to ZTP violation type of commentary.

I'm guessing Walz's first official act as the VP nominee will be to change his phone number  

[Sannie]

"Republicans are attacking him so this means it's a bad pick!" Like, do you not realize how stupid this logic is?  

 

Meanwhile, the Democrats are more excited and engaged than they have been in over a decade. Republicans don't vote for the Dem nominee, Dems do. Enthusiasm is what wins elections.

[khalyan]

@NausAllien while I think a lot of different voices should be able to express their views in this thread, if you are going to purposefully try to provoke our members with some of your posts I will need you to stop reporting their responses.

Hive get in!
