If you were Kamala Harris, who would you choose to be your VP

Pdox forums like it.  The Euros are relieved that there is no Jews on the ticket.

Well, Kamala's husband...

Is on the ticket?

No. But still I don't think this ticket is the sort of anti-Jew indicator Paradox seems to thi k.

Is that the actual sentiment on Paradox, or is it Raz's interpretation of the sentiment on Paradox?

Probably Raz's interpretation. Besides the only Jew to ever be on a major party Presidential ticket was Joe Lieberman, AFAIK anyway, so being relieved to see a Jew free ticket is rather odd.

But I don't know. The internet has surprised me with the extent it hates Jews in the past.

[Razgovory]

My interpretation.  You can't say you don't like Jews on Pdox.

I was thinking it would explain a lot if true

Several posters expressed their relief over the pick.  I don't think they were worried about the astronaut getting it.

[Sheilbh]

I like him a lot

My one slight concern is whether he's a bit of a frothy online pick (hence why I like him).

Really happy we got a midwestern type Union guy on the ballot. That will not only really help with the midwestern vote but also signals the return to focusing on working people by the Democrats, which is really important in this age of populism.

I thought we were supposed to get that with Biden.

And we did to some extent, that was the key to his popularity to the extent he was popular. He had a long career associated with third-way policies working against him though.

Did we?  I'm not aware of any polls showing movement of high school educated males moving to the blue column.  I am aware of polls showing senior citizens defecting from Trump because of his dysfunctional handling of covid.

I worry that Democrats tell themselves if they support unions and raising the minimum wage this will equate to "fighting for the working man."  The blue collar guys I know aren't crazy about unions, often see them unfairly pampered competitors, and aren't affected by the minimum wage.

May be true, Yi.

That said, at the same time I've read a fair bit about how a good proportion of white-dude union workers have gone MAGA over the years. If true, it would probably be useful to win some of those back.

It was supposed to be useful for Biden to win them back.  Why would Waltz do better?

Presumably their votes are still being contested, so having someone that appeals to them is better than not.

I can't tell you why Walz would be more (or less) effective than Biden, though.

I just saw Shapiro's speech in Philadelphia.  The guy is a fantastic speaker.
