    I saw maga attempt to call him Tampon Tim and was making fun of him for waving his hands around unlike a real man yesterday.

    Maga dies in November. They got nothing.

    Yeah the "Tampon Tim" thing is interesting. The magats are spinning it as him requiring tampons be placed in boys restrooms in schools for the trans people. Totally untrue...the bill required no such thing. It required feminine products be made available to whomever needed them in schools.

    Someone from MN had mentioned that some schools DID place those items in certain boys restrooms/locker rooms only because sometimes opposing teams (female) would use those locker rooms, etc., when visiting the school to play the local team.

    A good example of how morons just jump to conclusions without exploring the topic.

    Then Walz was probably the worst choice on the list for VP. 
    I think the reality is that the right is disappointed it isn't Shapiro because he would be an easier target for them. As a Minnesotan, I was hoping it wouldn't be Walz to keep him here, but he's a decent person who's dedicated his life to serving (military, teacher, politics) and isn't an elite. Shapiro has an elite edge to him that I don't think people would identify with as much here in the Midwest. Walz has the backing of unions and has shown he's for giving people of all backgrounds access to services to help promote equity across the board. What type of person is against giving women a right to choose, providing food for all children in need, lower med prices, infrastructure improvements and background checks for gun owners? Apparently you are.
    You forgot how Waltz let the local community express their frustrations for that bust-out George Floyd by not stopping the burning and looting sooner w/ the National Guard  in Minneapolis….Lori Lightfoot used the same reasoning in Shicago when the Guard was offered and passed and let that shitty burn.     Keep on voting Democrat, there will be nothing left for the tax payer….This DNC in Shitcago is going to be something

    Seems there are two scenarios why right-wingers show up here. Either to gloat, when they have a perceived victory; or to mock, when they're scared. It's nice to see so much mockery from the right on here these days.

    "guy's jewish, you aren't allowed to insult him any way, lest you be anti-semitic". why is every bad trait considered anti-semitic, by the way? legit question. it seems that every insult imaginable is a "trope"
    The sneaky, disloyal, backstabbing jew is one of the oldest tropes out there. I'm an atheist and I know this. Study history, my friend. 


    I know history, thanks. but just because the guy's jewish, doesn't make it automatically a jewish trope, my friend. 
    Then just say ya don't think he was a good fit. It's a very specific criticism given its history and S_C might want to reflect on that. 

    Zero need to be divisive. I understand it has little impact on either of you as non-Americans, but it's important for us
    he can say it how he wants. it's not divisive. yes, I get it that some criticisms are more specific than others, and have a deep-rooted history of anti-semitism, but my god, we have gotten to the point where ANY criticism is claimed as such, and it's gotten fucking ridiculous. 
    I think we've drawn enough attention to it and I respectfully disagree. 

    It was an ineloquent, insensitive comment, something I might expect from our former president and not an adult. Don't like his policies or history? Say it.

    I'm with you, however I think it was likely inadvertently insensitive, not intentional. I'd be curious to know from SC what makes him perceive Shapiro as untrustworthy, which would help clear this up for good.

    I don't know why the Swede is bashing Josh Shapiro. He's been a really good governor, working with the nation's only divided state legislature. (And that State Senate is highly obstructionist - they won't even pass a bill to prosecute child abuser clergy.) He recently secure almost $1B in additional public school funding. He has a couple of view points that I don't necessarily agree with, and I guess rubs some people the wrong way (Fetterman seems jealous to me - after his election was outshined by Shapiro's blowout). I mainly didn't want him to be the running mate so he would remain our governor. We have had a series of useless governors from both parties, just doing the bare minimum. I want Shapiro to build up a resume like Tim Walz has. I feel like he's just getting going. I'm right here, not across an ocean in a country that already has so many of the things that we need here. Governing PA is nothing like governing Sweden, I imagine. We've got huge swaths of territories that are hostile to Democrats, and Shapiro did fairly well out there running against a rabid Christo-Nationalist.

    yep. they got nothing but grievance. and grievance does not play well with the regular, non maga people they need to vote for them.

    love to see it.

    the fact that someone is jewish does not make them absolutely immune to any kind of criticism either, no matter how benign.

    i like shapiro, but i disagree with some of his statements, and that gave me some concern about what he might say or do as vp. 

    if harris is 100% in the bag for bibi at this point in the campaign, then the young who are paying attention to what is happening in gaza may stay home, handing the election to trump. it was a strategic pick, and in my opinion, the correct pick.
