It’s gotta be Walz, right?

If it's Walz, we are very likely to get legal weed.

Hey if you criticize Shapiro, you're antisemitic. Yep we've reached that phase.

God I hope so. I don't think I've ever been so invested in a VP decision before.

Jewish Democrats race to Shapiro’s defense: Attacks are ‘clearly antisemitic’

Not Jewish... It starts with a Z! Zion...

There is a very good reason I avoid that word. With how it is used, far too often it be used instead of jew or jewish. And I dislike it being used so openly as a insult.

Would you feel more comfortable with Neo-Zionist Fascists?

Bernie is still popular with progressives. Maybe they don't know he's Jewish.

A lot of the Shapiro criticism is rooted in veiled antisemitism. Yeah, I really don’t like Shapiro’s support of vouchers either.

But if he is chosen as Madame VP’s running mate (still a tossup) and she wins, he won’t be in a position to push that. He’ll be casting tie breaking votes for Senate confirmation votes, doing international diplomacy trips, doing everything that she is doing now.

[Iceman]

I hope those sources know their stuff! Pick Walz and be done with it, and hopefully we see a boost.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Now we build the Walz.

I’m ok with it being Walz. Wish it was a swing state Democratic governor instead.

I get what you are saying, will say Walz if true could appeal to those swing states, i get Shapiro would almost guarantee Pennsylvania but he hasnt really made much a difference there now helping Biden or Harris, last i saw Harris was trailing in Pennsylvania, so would he have really helped her there? Walz at least appeals to people in Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Indiana, I am not saying he will help Kamala win Ohio, democrats will not win this state, but maybe he helps her get more votes here and makes it close

Oh man, LFG!

Walz it is! Hell yeah
