I don’t know much about him, but thank goodness she didn’t pick Shapiro.

And none for Joe Manchin, bye.

After learning Shapiro was an American who volunteered in the IDF I was so sure she was gonna pick him.

[skyler_white_yo]

I think Harris is smart enough to know that she has to fence sit for the time being. But I’m sure her true stance will be known if she gets elected.

[xdecadentx]

Fam her stance is known now.

Kamala Harris likened Israel’s creation to the US civil rights movement during a 2017 speech to AIPAC

She even claimed she donated to the JNF, Israel’s leading vehicle for land theft

Well it sucks but most US politicians are very Israel friendly. I hope at least she could push for a cease-fire, which is both her and Walz's stance right now.

Btw that tweet is rich comes from the "my pronoun is Trump/Russia" and "chemical attacks against Syria civilians by Bashar is false" guy lol. Huge hypocrite. (not saying this to you but that guy)

This reminds me of how there was a popular tweet going around saying something like “everyday I wake up hating Israel more” but the tweet was from Andrew Tate of all goddamn people

Why would you promote that pos even if he said something accurate /once/

[sassalicious]

i try not to know much about Andrew Tate but he seems like the kind of guy whose "i hate Israel" is based on hating Jewish people rather being angry about human rights violations and the Israeli govt's persecution of Palestinians. but i could be wrong.

[addicteddisplay]

i was like who tf volunteers for the IDF then saw his last name lol

Besides having moderate, white guy Midwestern vibes and being a really good communicator, he's also been very effective with only a ONE-SEAT majority in Minnesota. Since he's governor, he's brought in:

- free public college (under $80k)
- universal free school meals
- legal weed
- 12 weeks paid family leave
- 12 weeks paid sick leave
- banned conversion therapy
- red flag laws for guns
- universal background checks for guns
- automatic voter registration

- sectoral bargaining for nursing home workers
- carbon free electricity by 2040
- tax rebates for the working class up to $1,300 (making under $150k per year)

Wow

I hate to say this about totally normal things that should be totally normal, but boss shit.

[marywebgirl]

He and Big Gretch are putting on a master class for the party.

[syzygy09]

No politician in the US is actually liberal, but he's close.

I'm so thankful Harris chose him.

[jjazz59]

He's my Governor and I want him to stay that way. I do think he'd be a great Vice President!

[hallyujah]

If he wins, Penny Flanagan will be Gov. Idk much about her but the first Native American governor in US history would be pretty cool!

[lamppost1911]

Damn, thank you for this write up! I can already tell my ex friend who lives in Minnesota and claims to be liberal prob hates him and I am here for it, lol.
