  1. If we are forced to only talk about VP stuff in one specific thread, then I humbly suggest that the title of that thread have some indication that it is for VP discussion…. Because it currently does not.
  2. I love Walz and think he'd be a great pick, but as an American Jew it is really hard to swallow that we are going to pass on an incredibly popular swing state governor purely because his views on Israel, which are essentially shared by every potential VP candidate, have been singled out FOR SOME REASON.
  3. I'm no finance bro, but it sure seems like the market panic last night/this morning was basically just wishcasting from right wingers?
  4. “Everything bad that happens anywhere on the planet is the direct result of the local political party I oppose.” ALSO “Y’all need to stop being so gullible.”
  5. He’s never been a serious candidate so the minions haven’t felt the need to pull up his college homework yet.
  6. The truth is she has 5+ exceptional options, but the evolution of the dialogue is a good example of why anyone who was hoping for a mini-primary to choose the candidate does not understand how politics works in 2024.
  7. I’m a firm believer in the power of good nicknames, and “Baruch Obama” might single-handedly raise Shapiro’s approval by ten points.
  8. Not to derail the thread, but she’s not even transgender! She’s a biological woman. The “there’s only two genders!” folks are now saying that someone born with a vagina and has never identified as anything else is a man. It’s insanity.
  9. Not that any of this really matters, but can anyone point me to places where Kamala proudly goes around claiming she’s Indian? She obviously is and it’s not like she is trying to hide it, but all of the stuff cited by Republicans in the last 24 hours has been news headlines (“first Indian-American senator”) or other Indian celebrities pointing out that they have a shared heritage. I have heard her, however, proudly claim multiple times that she’s a black woman. Again, not that it matters, but the claims of her “flip flopping” seem to be more about how others describe her and not necessarily how she presents herself.
  10. Couldn’t disagree with this more. It doesn’t need to be the new focal point of her campaign or anything but this a gift that she, personally, should jump all over.
  11. My humble suggestion for his meal:
  12. She'll be able to swat this away in one speech. "I am a proud Indian American and I am also a proud Black American. I feel honored that my diverse background matches the melting pot that is this country, one that allows a man from Jamaica to marry a woman from India and raise a child who gets to experience the magic of multiple cultures and then run to be your next President."
  13. Guarantee that most of the dumbasses in that crowd who claim to not understand mixed heritage are able to fully grasp it on St. Patrick's Day.
  14. He's really doubling down on this.
  15. Lucky for Trump, there isn't a must-win southern swing state that basically depends on his ability to win Black voters over or that his polling leads were based on a historically unprecedented increase in minority support.
  16. Objectively funny that he said "a lot of the journalists in this room are black" to the fucking National Association of Black Journalists.
  17. "Is she Indian or is she black?" - direct quote from Trump, holy shit
  18. Admittedly, I am all over the place this morning. Re: immigration - "the same thing that didn't work for Joe Biden" = winning the Rust Belt? Re: Shapiro - as the article I posted asks: why is Shapiro the only target of said Uncommitted movement?
  19. What the fuck does Israel have to do with this immigration discussion? The "goal post moving" accusations appear to be correct. Regarding immigration: swing states have a conservative view on it. Period. I'm sorry if that makes your group chat sad, but it's the reality. Catering to the far left on the ONE policy issue that Republicans might have footing to attack Kamala on is a death sentence being requested by the politically stupidest people in the country.
  20. This is all true, but this new forecast is notable because it is a significant improvement in Democratic odds from his previous model runs. The momentum here is clear and undeniable.
