[@JamesFaction]

@@TheRogBG just the state he comes from isn't enough. Walz is far more everyman. Shapiro doesn't need to be VP to help carry PA - and historically picking a VP hasn't helped carry a state so that's not a good enough reason. Walz is much more approachable, matter of fact, and better at a turn of phrase - he came up with "they're weird" that everyone else has followed

[@TheRogBG]

@@JamesFaction walz is from a state that leans blue Shapiro is from PA which is about as purple as you can get. This means Republicans even voted for Shapiro which about as everyman as you can get which is what Kamala needs to win

[@JamesFaction]

@@TheRogBG doesn't matter. That doesn't really prove that Walz is less electable. Look at what Walz is like, how he comes across. He is actually just like most people. Look at Walz' record of achievement: a hugely progressive list of policies passed, with a 1-seat majority. Shapiro compromises, Walz gets things DONE. Walz is a better speaker, and a better doer, and is better at coming across to the common man. Shapiro's speeches are Obama impersonations. Just put a photo of Obama on the screen while you listen to him. It's uncanny... but also kinda lame. Walz is himself. Walz for VP.

Kamala does not need to make Josh Shapiro her vice president in order to bring Pennsylvania on board, since she is now leading in Pennsylvania. Shapiro’s a divisive figure and fanatically pro-Israel with a great deal of baggage, he CANNOT unite the Party across ALL age groups and ALL sections. Kamala needs to send a strong message to Young People, Uncommitted, African Americans, Palestinian Americans and Arab Americans that she WILL continue to see Palestinians as human beings, with a right to self-determination and the right to live without fear. She WILL NOT remain silent. She WILL pursue the 2-State Solution to its conclusion and not be a Netanyahu walkover like Biden. I also believe Shapiro is highly ambitious. I do NOT believe he will fully support Kamala over the next four years, but he will be competing and trying to outshine her for ultimately the top job, instead of unfailingly supporting her. John Fetterman is RIGHT, Josh Shapiro would be the WRONG choice. Kamala must not spoil things now she’s on an upward trajectory to victory.💪 ON TO FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY IN NOVEMBER.

I agree with your point but she could also lose some Jewish votes to Trump if she takes too sympathetic a view to Gaza.

[@765infinity]

​@onehappybuddhist I agree with this, but Shapiro does carry baggage IMO. I assume she's not stupid so she'll make a choice based on she feels she can best rounds out the ticket, but Shapiro is not weakness free, being staunchly pro-Isreal, pro school voucher, and a less than squeaky clean environmental record may leave the Democratic base less than comfortable, and he does have some sexual assault allegations which could be problematic. However, he does have the ability to bridge to moderates/independants that could be the decider in this election which is a game of inches. I'm sure her and her campaign advisors are aware of all this political calculus and will make the decision they view as best for the campaign. If I had my preference, I'm still in the pro-Scott Kelly camp. But no choice is ever going to be perfect, you just have to pick to maximize to the best of your ability electability and pragmatic ability to do the job.

I trust the pro-Palestinian, anti-Gaza war voters are not single issue people that they’d ignore many other major issues in this election and risk either not voting or voting the other way and allow a hard line, Islamophobic authoritarian regime to take over America. That regime totally supports Netanyahu’s extreme right wing policies in Israel and the tragic Gaza conflict. The people of Israel and Jews abroad are divided over Netanyahu and his policy in handling the Palestinian conflict. He does not support a 2-state solution. Shapiro’s is openly critical of Netanyahu’s policies and he support a 2-state solution as many in Israel and abroad do-which puts him in the camp of the pro-democracy faction in Israel. His moderate policy positions and effective governing style is the reason why he’s won over independents, moderate Republicans in PA…which will appeal to similar voters in neighboring Michigan and Wisconsin and blunt Ohio’s Vance’s appeal in the region.

@@briandubois-gilbert8182 why needlessly antagonize them? you want to motivate voters not discourage them. shapiro would discourage and suppress the youth vote, the pro-justice, pro-palestine, peace in gaza constituencies. choose anyone but shapiro. and NO, HE IS NOT critical of bebe. i don't even recall him saying in anything but the most tepid way that israel has gone too far. if anything he's stopped short of even that milquetoast assessment. yes, while his op-ed of 30 years ago was/is concerning, it is difficult to see that his view has changed. btw, in a lot of ways i think the reflex to say, oh, it's because he's jewish, ie. it's anti-Semitic, is a bit disingenuous, and ignores the details--- a common tactic when weaponizing the term. it's the same tactic that zionists use. rather than acknowledging that one can be pro-jewish, but anti-israel, and it's war crimes, to even speak up against it in anyway is called anti-semetic, when it is NOT. in fact, this was a tactic that shapiro himself used, when he THREATENED BEN & JERRY'S for refusing to sell their ice cream in jewish settlements... in 2021. a mere THREE YEARS AGO. referring to B&J's BDS policy-- boycott, divestment and sanctions-- a non-violent tactic to pressure israel to stop some of it's racist policies-- shapiro said BDS was, quote, 'rooted in anti-semitism.' essentially smearing a company that was founded and lead by jews. so clearly he isn't above weaponizing anti-semitism, even when it's non-violent. then there's this: " After the horrific Hamas attack of last Oct. 7, several dozen Pennsylvania-based Muslim groups wrote a letter protesting Gov. Shapiro’s one-sided comments: “Not only did you fail to recognize the structural root causes of the conflict," they argued, "you chose to intentionally ignore the civilian loss of life in Gaza.” Responding to the letter after Israeli bombs and missiles had killed more civilians in Gaza than had been killed by Hamas in Israel on Oct. 7." a comment that shapiro didn't even think justified a response, instead leaving it to a spokesman, who of course, did little more than defend israel. :or this: "Last December, after he amplified the Capitol Hill demagoguery of Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., a MAGA loyalist, Shapiro contributed to the firing of the University of Pennsylvania president. Shapiro said of Penn's leader: “I thought her comments were absolutely shameful. It should not be hard to condemn genocide.” By then, after two months of Israeli bombing, more than 17,000 Gazans had been killed, most of them women and children. Later that month, Israel was charged with violations of the Genocide Convention in South Africa’s filing at the International Court of Justice." yet, he remained AND IS STILL utterly silent on the Palestinian genocide that continues to this day. btw, i personally don't think shapiro's comments re: the protests *were* justified. most of the protests had nothing to do with anti-semitism, and often went to great lengths to distance themselves from it. the problem, is that rabidly pro-zionist news outlets like NYT, assumed the protests were anti-semetic, before even sending correspondents. there was actually a memo that talked about how there was an editorial meeting at the NYT that talked about how they decided to cover the protests, with the slant being anti-semitism. there are a lot of topics i will trust the NYT on, but covering anything that hast to do with israel is NOT one of those topics. especially after their HORRIBLY INACCURATE coverage of october 7th with it's numerous fabricated stories of atrocities. their willingness to believe anything Zaka-- a zionist propaganda organization known for fabricating stories out of whole cloth-- should be a red flag for anyone who follows anything happening in israel or the occupied territories. or this: "In early April, after Democratic governors in other states had called for a ceasefire in Gaza, Muslim leaders in Philadelphia criticized Shapiro for his refusal to do so." and he still refuses. all of these things have happened in the last 3 years. so you see, there's a bit more than "it's cos he's jewish." it's because like so many, he refuses to be an honest broker where israel is involved. it is because he happily weaponizes the term anti-semite to further the injustice that israel is perpetrating on lands it occupies. it is because he looks the other way, and is silent while civilians are killed..... unless they are israeli. considering the ongoing israeli apartheid, the starvation in gaza, the collective punishment of paletinians, and confiscation of land in the west bank for jewish settlements, in discriminate bombings of civilians, journalists and NGOs this is an issue for those of us who care about the lives of palestinians, and the injustices they are being made to bear.
