Took Fox all of 9 days to be in lockstep with Trump's racism...
Sigh. Expected, yet still disappointed.
Well she's either black or she's Indian or she's black... which is it eh? EH? Because she can't be both*
How the hell can anyone argue that Kamala Harris isn't partially black given this is her dad?
Her dad was born Jamaican ffs.
That's actually being nasty to scum. he's way lower than that levelThat guy is pure scum.
Assuming this is true then I'm a bit surprised that someone currently riding a wave of good will and indeed party unity would choose to start a fight in her base like this. Anyone else and those who care about Palestine would've largely shrugged, I think, but her choosing the guy seen as the most rabidly anti-Palestinian of her options is certainly gonna energise those who believe the Democratic party are currently too complicit in genocide to vote for.The announcement is also in Philly apparently. Sounds like its moving in Shapiro's direction.
Won't make a difference at all.

Careful with the reach, might strain something.I think most on the Dem side will have comparable views on Israel-Palestine, so Harris selecting Shapiro won't really have any effect on the long term Dem orthodoxy of generally being supportive of Israel, condemning Hamas, while also calling for a two state solution - particularly in light of the fact that Harris will be the one formulating policy, not the VP.
Harris will also want to be careful to not be perceived as disqualifying Shapiro for having similar views to all the other VP contenders, at which point she would be leaving herself open to criticism that she's not selecting him because he's Jewish in order to placate a small faction in her own party.
Welp his rally getting hyped up on the racism. Expect he will continue it. Guess they really have decided full on racism is the way to go here

Soon the grift will end and an OF career will begin.
Trump has resurrected his birtherism tactic to take down Harris? He has zero imagination or political acumen. Incredible how successful he's been despite that.
Picking Shapiro is a mistake. If he doesn't deliver Penn on a platter it's going to go down as a big mistake not going with someone like Walz who is far more likeable with middle America appeal. I wouldn't be surprised if this costs Kamala the election because it's going all in on guaranteeing Penn.
With today's conservatives? Nah, even if Trump loses in November, he will have his party's undying loyalty to the day he dies.
Can they get more energized? They're already proclaiming him the new Messiah. He has to be careful not to bleed independent voters at this point.It will energize his base, so there is that.
Was referring to Habba, not Trump.

Ultimately its all about winning and having a comfortable working relationship with the VP. How likable a VP is to the general public will generally be less meaningful after the election given how VPs usually fade into the background.

Yes, I think she's prioritising picking someone she herself would get on with over picking someone who will improve her chances of defeating Trump.Ultimately its all about winning and having a comfortable working relationship with the VP.

They'd take issue with Beshear, would they? I can't say I know much about him.I think it's more she's picking someone corporate are comfortable with.

I don't think he does.
I think he believes he is making a valid point.
fr frThis isn't the hypernormalisation thread mate
They are making their case to the black voters that they shouldn't identify with her.Republicans are attacking the origins of the candidates not her views. They then tell you that we shouldn’t talk about race, ethnicity or gender.
Let’s say that she Indian, not black. So what?!
Good luck with that.They are making their case to the black voters that they shouldn't identify with her.
