What? Shapiro is no slouch, hardly a dick punch if the dems go that way

Shapiro is just as good. He had a bit more charisma kind of like Obama.

Both look to be great choices.

"White Dudes for Harris" group had a big Zoom call and raised 4 Million.

Free speech absolutist Musk was so triggered he banned their Xitter account. No reason given yet, I guess it's possible that they did something against the site's policies.

Musk lies and displays nearly as much hypocrite as Trump, they are fine pair.

Looks like the account has been restored, maybe just a "technical glitch" that just so happened to occur in the middle of their fund raising call.

"Technical glitch" gets fixed after public and media uproar. Funny that.

I do wonder what it will take for people to finally stop relying on Xitter for anything.

I mean suspending an account for evading a suspension is totally legit, if they created an account to do that then it should be suspended.

Doesn't explain the original account suspension though which couldn't be for evading a suspension by definition.

Needs to be a balding, slightly overweight, older white guy like Walz. Reminds the whiteys of their dads.

Shapiro is a vocal Zionist. In this current climate, I do not see his nomination happening

More or less the entire case for Shapiro is made right here.

Democrats are fairly evenly divided on the issue. 34 per cent say Biden’s administration leans too far towards supporting Israel, 29 per cent feel he’s striking the right balance.

It’s best for the party just to avoid the subject altogether in the coming months.

Which they absolutely won't be able to do if they nominate Shapiro, at least in the short term the "nomination" news cycle will be partially eaten up by "but what about Israel / Palestine". There's no avoiding that.

If she wants Shapiro she should nominate him ASAP and get all of that out of the way before the convention.

I didn't know this, but if this is the case, adding Shapiro to her ticket would not be a good idea for the young vote they are coveting as polls have indicated that the vast majority of the 18-30 group are against what Israel is doing in Gaza all things considered.

Pretty great speech overall by Biden. Without the pressure of running and a looming second term (hopefully one with the torch carried by his current VP), he seems pretty free of the stress. Don't know how much can get pushed through, but certainly going out in a blaze of glory with SC reform and constitutional amendments.

I think it was Dubya who called Trump weird, or something along the lines of his inauguration being weird ####.

The the heck happened to the Republican Party. They always had some nut jobs, but this isn't the same party like Bush and McCain, heck even Romney was normal.
