I'm shocked, honestly. Shapiro is the canonical post-Clinton Democrat, all the consent manufacturers were clearly pulling for him.

As one of the leftmost members of the D voting coalition its a strange feeling to not be getting continuously shat upon.

Yeah well lets hope this all true. All the articles are saying "sources close to " I want to hear it from her mouth. Regardless I am excited about voting for the first time since 2016 when Bernie first ran. Lets fucking go! Only thing stopping us now is if the GOP cheat which I hear they already planning a coup using the courts so lets make it such a huge landslide they can't win that way.

No way in hell they would have picked Shapiro. People would get him mixed up with Ben Shapiro. It's absurd he was even in the running.

Well then every gd progressive who says there are so many better get off their asses and vote then.

Not upset about the pick in the least but this is progressives time to shine.

Edit- you all act as if Im rooting against that. I actually want a ton of normal non-voters to actually come out and vote for Harris-walz
