  1. Right on. I’m a 2A supporter, but not a 2A absolutist. And one thing that has confounded me about my former party is that as often as they say, “It’s not a gun issue, it’s a mental health issue,” they’re almost never willing to fund mental health. I’m no socialist, but supporting community mental health is money well spent, not another government give away. So I am very interested in a candidate who supports sensible gun safety law and also helping our communities look after their own. If that’s not conservative, I guess I’m no longer a conservative.

  2. I joined a stream of some lefty guy who was bitterly disappointed by Kamala’s pick. One of the things that he felt should have disqualified Walz (or at least given pause) was that Walz had a DUI back in 1995. The midwesterners in the chat found this hilarious. They found a 30 year old DUI to be almost a prerequisite for political office. It was one more thing about Walz that made him “one of the guys”. I will say this about Shapiro. He swallowed his disappointment and went right into campaigning for Harris/Walz without hesitation.

  3. This might sound weird to say about a master sergeant, but he brings a softness to the ticket. He’s maybe had his own hard edges worn down a bit. He’s like a boot that’s already been broken in.

  4. If he wants, but does he want? If he has his own presidential ambitions, a governorship is a better launch platform than a cabinet position.

  5.  @M0J0-RL236  relatively better than the vacuity of maga, which is either Christian Nationalist or no policy other than loyalty to Trump. So yes, democratic policies are superior to republican policies. But I would not call them superior, as in “best possible”. That said, I think both Harris and Walz are not doctrinaire liberals. They know how to work with others and work out compromises.

  6. It’s really unfair, as funny as it is. They should instead be picking on why in the world a straight white male conservative Christian Nationalist uses eyeliner.

  7.  @Edward-cv2gw  You look at policies? 😂 shtaup!

  8. Let’s put it this way. If Shapiro and Walz were neck and neck as finalists, you pick one over the other based on an intangible like “chemistry”.

  9.  @sharonharris9782  focus on the battleground state polls, not national polls.

  10. I don’t want to judge a man for wearing cosmetics, to each his own. But I still scratch my head over a straight white conservative Christian nationalist male wearing eyeliner, and nobody in his party saying anything to him.

  11. Are Walz’s and Harris’ positions on Gaza any different than Shapiro’s? Or are they just perceived as different because they are not Jews?

  12. Give Pelosi credit for solidifying the support for Kamala so quickly, making her the presumptive nominee.

  13. There’s more than one kind of weird. If this was just the mean girls picking on the unpopular kid, that would be one thing. Nor does it mean the positive and charming eccentricity of the neighbor down the block with a waxed handlebar mustache who keeps a pet crow. The weird we are associating with maga, Trump, and Vance is the uncanny feeling you’d have upon learning that one of your coworkers was John Wayne Gacy.
