To me this just feels like a far left, I'm going to piss in the pool if I don't get exactly my way on everything situation. There's a lot of hemming and hawing going on in that article, and speculating that that many circles won't like Shapiro's stance on Palestine is certainly valid. But it's the same as certain posters here who were saying the bloc in michigan was going to doom ______________________ becuase _______________________ for weeks. Or the people here and in congress who were insisting dropping Biden was literally suicide, and that includes the likes of AOC.
Sure, you would *think* that these people would understand their options versus a Trump regime in charge, for palestine, but I had a very spirited interaction with some progressives in a group chat this week, where I basically pointed out they were fucking children who look out for any excuse to not participate unless it's their actual dream candidate and they love nothing better than to take their ball and go home. Bernie Bros got fucked over in 2016, for sure, but they also stayed home and helped Trump get elected. So I have zero belief that many voters can do an analysis of which platform progresses their overall worldview further.
In short, I don't think anyone can say anything with certainty, but if you lock up PA, you have to seriously, seriously consider Shaprio. I'm not saying he's got to be the guy, but you can't dismiss him becuase maybe he's not some folks first or second choice. PA is the ballgame.
