Some of y'all sound like single-issue voters. The worst.

It would be nice if there was a candidate that checked all the boxes for yours, mine, and everyone else's beliefs.

That person does not exist in the real world.

It seems like a lot of people are focussing on the issue of Israel with Shapiro.

Shapiro would be a mistake

I'm not blaming Shapiro for people who say questioning Shapiro is antisemitic. I'm only blaming Shapiro for saying the college protests -- including my participation -- were just an exercise in antisemitism. I bring up the you're-just-saying-that-because-he's-Jewish defense because the Democratic Party decided to coordinate calling progressives antisemites and they're still doing it. I'm not being conspiratorial, but these things don't just happen organically. Biden said it because he wanted to blunt the attack on his Israel policy, and the other luminaries repeat it in their own words to reinforce it. Shapiro was less nuanced than most (Kamala, insofar as anyone bothered to report on what the VP thought, seems to have done a much better job of both-sidesing the thing), but he and Adam Schiff were doing the same thing -- trying to protect Biden from criticism by progressives with ad homonym counterattacks. In that sense, my problem is with the moderat wing of the party and not any particular foot soldier. Harris won't be picking a progressive for VP and probably shouldn't. So I won't get satisfaction here. And I'll have to vote for her anyway. To be clear, I like all these guys just fine. I just don't like being called an antisemite.

If that's what's going on, it's the wrong approach. The Shapiro story is interesting though. Want to revisit this some other time.

Shapiro seems to have collapsed in the betting markets. Granted, the betting markets are 100% vibes and aren't based on any real insider info but its definitely an indicator of the general mood.

Walz quickly bounced up to ~60% and then quickly bounced back down to ~50%.

The bounce could be due to that "source" in MI (seems to originate from a Trump supporter) saying Walz got the nod.

They may be saving their better candidates for 2028.
