Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has narrowed her search for a vice presidential running mate to two finalists, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, three sources with knowledge of the matter said on Monday.
Harris, the U.S. vice president, is expected to announce her selection by Tuesday, ahead of her first scheduled public appearance with her running mate in the evening at Temple University in Philadelphia.
Walz has Bernie’s seal of approval
That’s all I need to know
indeed. Bernie remains a reasonably clean and reasonably clear assessor/signaler. he makes complex political decisions that much easier for voters.
going to miss the golden yardstick of his judgment when he finally bows out.
Unfortunately we’ll probably never see the likes of him again
AOC is an excellent standard bearer for the Bernie style progressives.
Warren is also excellent and we have a number of less popular policy wonk politicians around who are extremely driven on specific topics - Whitehouse, as an example, is excellent on climate change.
My sole problem is Bernie as the Oprah of politics. He enabled quite a few people/trolls who were pretty toxic, the worst of the Bernie Bro/Chapo Trap House dirtbag movement, Briahna Joy Gray, and David Sirota off the top of my head.
What’s wrong with chapo?
Rather than me typing a bunch out, this is a good summary.
So your objection is with fans of the podcast legitimately calling Warren a snake for withholding her endorsement until after Biden had solidified the Dems against the left? I can’t agree with that; it was a fuckup on her part and if she was a real left wing politician she would be have thrown her support behind someone who actually believes in what she says she stands for, rather than waiting until the moderates in the party had a fait accompli. I’ve never forgiven her for that.
Was that all the farther you read, or just felt like cherry picking that one only?
What else is there? The rest is just civility handwringing.
Interesting choice to defend at minimum their homophobic attacks against the first openly gay candidate as “civility handwringing”.
what a braindead excuse for a criticism
Bernie was and is a great senator, I voted for him in the primary in 2016. However, the people you chose to surround yourself with say a lot about what you value.
My friends in Minneapolis are pretty enamored with Walz. I don’t think they’d be thrilled to have to share him haha
Bernie never won a national race.
True but not because he wasn’t the best candidate
That obviously is a minority opinion.
I appreciate the irony of you getting ratio’d with this comment 😂
The truth gets ratio all the time here. It’s so easy to rattle the chain of Bernie believers.
Again, Bernie Sanders is very much a real person
Met Bernie. Nice guy.
