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.

    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.

          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?

                Interesting choice to defend at minimum their homophobic attacks against the first openly gay candidate as “civility handwringing”.

                  Pretty standard of chapo haters to only see the most surface-level reading of anything they post on social media.

                    Ah, so they’re just a collection of Schrödinger’s douchebags.

                    That’s not better.

        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.
