"No Genocide Josh" campaign doubles down as Shapiro VP speculation grows
A grassroots movement in Pennsylvania aims to keep Shapiro from being picked as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate.
You're viewing a single thread.
Yeah, lefties just hate how Shapiro called Netanyahu “a dangerous and destructive force” and “one of the worst leaders of all time.”
This is all just attacks from the people who can't attack Biden anymore but know they'd look bad saying Kamala isn't left enough. They prop us Walz because they know he won't get picked, even though he's been just as bad as Shapiro on Gaza. Shapiro has been explicit when he's said Netanyahu is an obstacle to peace, something Walz has not said afaik.
Make no mistake: there's a reason the person who posted this is known for spamming anti-Biden content.
No other potential nominee has been as bad as Shapiro on Gaza. There's a specific complaint about how he's worse right there in the article.
"[He] was unique among the top VP picks in his willingness to deploy the National Guard on peaceful protestors. He even went as far as to compare peaceful university protestors to KKK ralliers."
When Biden dropped out, I asked r2o in a number of their threads if they were going to cool it with the source-agnostic concern troll spamming. Never got an answer. It was pretty obvious where this was going.
"anything critical of Democrats is trolling!"
Yeah, no. I even said I'd still post critical news articles as well as positive news about Biden/Harris/Dems.
They're lost.
Not that I'm agreeing with OP or the "lefties", but if that's why you think they're talking about it you're missing a lot. It's just not that simple, and putting it into terms like that certainly isn't going to get people to think the same way as you.
Again, not trying to start a shit slinging match. I honestly will vote for Kamala either way, because that's who my vote is for.
Preemptively labeling him "Genocide Josh" is no less reductive or divisive. Them putting it in terms like that isn't going to get people to think the same way as them. Yet here we are, with them being given a giant megaphone and the party having to cater to their self-defeating absolutism.
I agree. Which is why Jeff said what they said. But doing what they're doing because they did it first probably won't help either side.
Once again, I am not taking a side or trying to sling shit. It's not going to matter for me either way. I'm still voting for blue no matter who.
Neither will the "movement."
That's exactly what I just said. Am I going insane here? Neither of these things are good ways to deal with it. We need unity on the left, not infighting and misleading. It's okay to call out BS when you see it, but name calling and misleading comments should be left out of it.
Tell OP. We've been trying to rationalize with them for a year, to no avail. Same old petulant bullshit, day in and day out.
I don't love that he volunteered for the IDF, but I can also acknowledge that I'm a different person than I was 20+ years ago.
I'd prefer Kelly, personally.
I have the luxury of not growing up influenced by shitty adults, so maybe it's easy to cast judgement, but his college statement was pretty seriously racist. And it wasn't just quietly racist, but actively sending it in to the opinion section to have it broadcast to everyone at his school. I'm willing to accept that people can grow out of racism, but I'd find it pretty reasonable for the targets of that racism to strongly object to someone who went out of their way to write a racist opinion piece in college. And like, we could just choose someone without that stain.
Whose?
??
Whose college statement are you referring to? Shapiro's, or Kelly's?
Shapiro's.
He did a school project on a Kibutz doing something there. It happened to be facilitated by the IDF but I believe was arranged through his synagogue
Kelly is no better on Gaza policy
I didn't say why I'd prefer Kelly.
Reportedly Kelly is out at this point and it's down to Walz and Shapiro. Source: AP, CBS within the past hour.
And yet......
And yet.
Who was wrong about Walz.
Why do you think you were wrong?
What was I wrong about? Shapiro was the frontrunner.
