Josh Shapiro Is a Terrible Choice for VP

Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro is perhaps the top contender to be Kamala Harris’s running mate. But Shapiro would be an awful selection, with a history of alienating and antagonizing core party constituencies and caving to pressure on major issues.

      Opponent of universal healthcare, anti-union centrist who is directly responsible for the failure of the PRO Act, and Israel stan, Mark Kelly, wow much progressive.

      He might as well be a Marxist!

        Richard Wolff isn’t on her short list.

          I think there’s a happy middle ground between them that will scare the libs the right amount

    Can we just not start giving the undecided voters reasons to doubt Kamala at this point? She hasn’t picked anyone yet and there’s already news like this that can hurt her

      Being vocal just got us a better top of the ticket…

      So we should shut up and take whatever they give us for the other half?

      Why?

      Why shouldn’t people discuss so the party has a chance to see what they want?

        Yes. It was surely us complaining, and not an international bait & switch by a guy who said he was a 1 term president. Go us!
