Among some Jewish-American producers, agents and executives there’s a sense that — even if the V.P. pick was the result of electoral calculations — those calculations come with baked-in antisemitic assumptions about the electorate.

    Shapiro wasn’t overlooked. He was in the top 2.

    He’s got legal baggage and is too moderate. Walz doesn’t have baggage and is progressive.

    The choice was obvious.

    Having a religion is like having a penis. It’s ok to have one. It’s ok to be proud of it! It’s not ok to wave it in people’s faces or shove it down their throats (unless you get consent). This thread is you choosing to wave your religion around. Knock it off, that’s gross.

    Not everyone needs to blame reality on an invisible sky daddy.

      Walz is also the rare kind of progressive that gets others to join him being progressive. he might not be the most progressive, but he’s effective.

        If Karl Marx or John Lennon don’t join the ticket then I’m not voting for pseudo-progressive Harris.

            What?

            You don’t think my thoughts are reasonable?

            People are allowed to think differently, you know.

              No, I don’t think the particular thought you had was reasonable. Which is why I made the comment I did.

                  Well, I have never heard about the beatles singers version of communism. And looking through his wiki it doesn’t mention any political writings of that nature.

                  Can’t be against a philosophy that doesn’t exist. But if it did, it would get corrupted very shortly after being implemented.

                    So you aren’t against it, but you don’t think it would work?
