Very predictable. Virginia too. Consequences. I absolutely love hearing wealthy New Yorkers in disbelief.

I’m moving back to Virginia too, unfortunately. Thankfully I’m able to keep my Florida registration for taxes and voting

Ladies and Gentlemen - the leading Democrat for the 2028 presidential nomination! If you don't vote for him you ain't black. If you are reading this - you also ain't black.

But Bishop has a black friend!

You right wing dudes are fucking morons. lol.

Trans lawmaker slams Republicans days after being called 'mister' | Fox News

America's first-ever openly transgender member of Congress, Rep. Sarah McBride, is calling out Republicans who are "obsessed" with culture wars.

McBride shouldn’t be allowed to use the word bizarre or weird. You are exactly that. You are a fucked up individual. And should be allowed to be in politics in my opinion.

The Austin Democrat’s win comes after a bitter primary that focused on which candidate’s political and electoral strategy would get the party’s first statewide victory in over 30 years.

Dude, your posts usually read like a PSA on noticing someone experiencing a stroke. I wouldn’t be calling anyone fucked up if I were you.

Terrible result for the GOP. Even if Talarico doesn’t pull it off RNC is going to have to spend serious money on this race now in a state Trump won by 14 points.

If Talarico flips this seat he’s the clear Dem front runner in 2028 right?

Him or Shapiro here in PA, but honestly I think Shapiro is beginning to hit his height IMO. Think he is a decent Gov in a purple state, likely many on the far left won't like his Jewish-ness and Israel stance.

I was hoping the crazy lady would win, but this guy has a lot of looney tune stances too. Six genders, Jesus was for abortion, and some bizarre religious takes. Depends who comes out on the GOP side. They are spending a ton to get Cornyn the primary and spend less to win or spend less to get Paxton the primary and way more to get him the win, IMHO.

No way a Jew is leading a party with a pro-Hamas caucus to a win. Sorry. I’m trying to think what Democrat scares me the most on a national ticket right now.
Probably Andy Beshear. Most democrats are going to have too much crazy on their record. He would be a similar counter to JDs narrative. He’s likely got the least amount of crazy quotable of your options and corruption. Newsom and Pritzker would be fun. Harris would be a hoot.

Hence why I said he is probably hitting his height, and will get reelected and that's about it. MAYBE the party has him challenge Fetterman in 2028

Lmao Shapiro being Jewish is the typical MAGA identity politics and the complete lack of understanding of how to separate the Israeli state from someone’s ethnicity. Just like we see on here about how all Muslims want sharia law. All MAGA sees is someone’s visible characteristics rather than their beliefs.

Typical lefty identity politics and lack of understanding . I’m not judging him or what he stands for. I’m saying your people will. It’s not the GOP that has a pro-Hamas caucus or leaders calling Israel an apartheid state. My point is that your people won’t look past it. Proof is that Kamala already passed over Shapiro, the popular governor of a must win state, for a loser governor of a sure thing state because they thought it would cost them Michigan.

Why did they think it would cost them Michigan? Explain the MAGA influence on their analysis in your answer and dumbass reply, please.

What a state the left has gotten to that the top thing they have to look for in a potential candidate is which one has said the fewest crazy things and had the fewest wacko crazy positions.

Whether he wins or not, the result is better than having her take up a seat.

You are though? I haven’t seen anyone on here say that Shapiro is a bad candidate because he’s Jewish. This is a made up issue that MAGA is pushing.

There is no pro-Hamas caucus, that’s just more identity fear mongering from the emotional Right. Israel is an apartheid state? Am I Islamophobic for saying ISIS is fucking insane? No, because an adult can separate state actors from religious/ethnic backgrounds.

We’ve gotten to the point where you just laugh react and post pictures when shown your own posts. Pretty sad. If I disagreed I would clarify the point and say I was wrong, but you do you.

 

[RDU Irish]

Shapiro would stand a better shot at POTUS running independent or Republican than as a Dem. Love watching people living in glass houses throw stones.

Are you claiming Harris didn’t pick Shapiro because of his religion for VP?

 

[NDVirginia19]

I feel like we are being gaslit by Toronto into thinking we imagined the discourse that Shapiro’s perceived softness on Israel was based on anything other than his devout Jewish faith

Correct and that we did not see left wing lunatics targeting Jewish college students and creating little Gaza’s on college campuses. We definitely did not experience that. It was MAGA in Michigan that scared them from picking Shapiro…

There’s not a newspaper in Dothan this misled.

 

[TorontoGold]

No? He didn't get picked because he didn't bring anything, being a moderate Obama cosplayer doesn't exactly rustle the jimmies. Your role model, the guy who's brain ain't quite work so good Fetterman even told Kamala not to pick him. He's full throating everything Israel. So is he an antisemite?

lmao tying his faith as supporting the actions of a state is technically antisemitic, as if all jews must be held responsible for whatever the Israeli state does. Josh Shapiro's actions and ideas surrounding Israel have been concerning, but he's 100x better than any GOP pick. His anti-BDS stance is a chicken shit position, and one that I thought a lot of capitalist free speech lovers would take offense to, but I guess when people only see him as a jewish guy, well that's where the analysis ends.

I don't think his faith means he supports the state of Israel, but psycho radical leftwing protestors in America do think that way.

have you heard of Pennsylvania?

 

[NDVirginia19]

Incredibly popular governor of the most important swing state? No, doesn’t add anything to the ticket.

 

[GATTACA!]

Harris didn't pick him because she has the political instincts of a medium sized house cat. I'm surprised he even threw his hat in that ring.

Being Jewish will be held against him for many younger voters across the spectrum. There are as many people on the right complaining about Jews controlling the weather and Hollywood as there are Palestinian sympathizers on the left.

Us going to war with Iran at Israel's behest isn't going to help things either.

Would say his history of being anti-BDS is what’s being held against him from the progressive side.

Being antisemitic is really a lack of intelligence thing. The fact that no media outlet even challenges a war criminal like Bibi when he says shit like “All Jews support Israel” makes it so easy for anyone who isn’t even remotely curious to assume that means criticism of Israel means criticism of Judaism. Fucking insane that he’s just allowed to commit war crimes carte blanche and criticism is just responded to by some guy from Nowheresville saying “hmmm kinda antisemitic don’t ya think??” Meanwhile RFK says shit like Ashkenazi Jews were ethnically targeted to be spared from COVID. Just a complete lack of intellectual curiosity.

You’re running a guy with a nazi tattoo for US Senate.

Not sure I'm running anyone?

Watch this, I hope he doesn't win and having a nazi symbol is disqualifying and abhorrent. You see how I did that? No "whataboutisms" or "well in 2007 this random congress person said X". You think you could ever do that?

Now compare that response to when no one that's part of IE MAGA could even say Trump sharing a meme showing the Obamas as apes was racist.
