He's an AIPAC stooge. Fuck him.
- It would be hilarious if Democrats lost the election because some ignorant 20-somethings care more about Gaza than America.
  
  It would be tragic if Democrats lost the election because some corrupt boomers care more about continuing to enable genocide than America. Particularly after we finally had some goddamned hope.
  
  because ~~some ignorant 20-somethings~~ people of all ages with principles care ~~more~~ about human rights in Gaza ~~than America.~~
  
  Fixed it for you.
  
  I find it interesting how the agency and duty is always with the voters to swallow a turd, rather that with the politicians to offer non-turds.
  
  If the Democrats were supporting a Genocide by the KKK in Detroid would that prevent you from voting for them?
I want Mark Kelly
- Not a terrible pick, but Tim Walz makes so much sense.
  
  Can you give me your reasons why you like them?
- I want the senate
  
  I am the senate!
- Hes the smart pick, but money overpowers smarts
  
  Captain Spaceman wants the astronaut. What a surprise.
I'll vote for Kamala Harris regardless of who she picks for Vice.
Do any of the candidates for VP not have this issue?
Let's go Andy Beshear!
Please please please, now is not the moment for an additional new minority to make the ticket. It's already gonna be hard for many people to vote for a woman, and an Indian. We need the most vanilla white christian male to be Kamala's running mate.

  That's what Hillary did with Tim Caine and we all know how THAT turned out..
  
  Hillary picked Tim Kaine as a "Fuck you" to progressives.
  
  Hopefully Harris is smarter than that.
  
  EDIT: Shouldn't have followed your lead. It's spelled with a K.
  
  I can remember most President/VP tickets, but didn't even recognize Kaine at all... I must have completely tuned out after she screwed Bernie.
  
  You think Hillary's VP's demographics had anything to do with her losing? No, that's not correct.
