Man, there's a ton of people on this board with egg on their face because they were dooming and certain Dems would "fuck it up" and go with Shapiro.

I hope the supply of humble pie was fully stocked before the announcement.

Anyways, now that my pettiness is out of the way, I'm super excited it's Walz and I can't wait to see the Harris donations and poll numbers go up, as he's the best pick and I think he'll help her get PA and other swing states.

I was kinda hoping it would be Shapiro, but everyone here seems to like Walz, so he must be pretty good!

He's the most progressive candidate and has done amazing things for Minnesota. Great background, you should look him up and listen to him speak, he's great.

To be fair, Walz looks his age, but Kamala looks maybe 10-15 years younger than her age.

Good on the ones who do, I've done it in the past when I had to, however not everybody has that level of integrity/tolerance for embarrassment.

Last night part of me wanted to record all the "totally gonna be Shapiro cause Dems suck" posts, but A) That's a little too petty and B) There were far too many of them

As long as they realize they're not clairvoyant and can't actually predict the future like they thought they could, that's good enough.

Nah they don't age until a certain point and then it hits them like a ton of bricks.

I was team Walz, but my biggest fear was that if she picked Shapiro, Beshear, or Kelly, they'd pull her towards the right. Walz pushes her to the left even though he's not exactly Bernie. But you look at what Walz has done and compare it to Shapiro or Beshear, and he's heads and shoulders above them in terms of common sense progressiveness. Beshear doesn't really have a shot at doing anything, due to Kentucky, but Shapiro and Pennsylvania have I believe a Trifecta and haven't really fully taken advantage of it like Michigan and Minnesota has.

I mean look at the right reacting to free student lunches and tampons. He was clearly the right choice.

Many Republicans, including Trump, are attacking him for wanting convicted felons to vote.

Which is, uh, ironic, to say the least, considering they want a convicted felon to be POTUS and obviously think he should be able to vote for himself.

They have no idea how to touch him because there's no real dirt or baggage other than the tired old attacks. They never learn new moves.

JD Vance hit Tim Walz as a "San Francisco-style liberal" during his remarks in Philadelphia a while ago.

A key irony there: Vance spent about four years living in SF between 2013 and 2017 as a venture capitalist.

Walz visited SF for the first time *just last month.*

They have no clue what to do about Walz. I bet they assumed it was Shapiro.

As much as I think she won the genetic lottery harder than most others, I actually make it a point to not comment on her physical appearance. Ever since she joined Congress too many people have been really weird and creepy towards her regarding her looks. Ranging from Republicans/right-wingers who clearly want to hate fuck her to left-wingers/Dems/liberals who want to respectfully fuck her to people dismissing her political acumen because of "you guys don't actually like her as a politician, you just want to fuck her" accusations dismissing her insightful political instincts and scathing rebukes of Republican chicanery.

I genuinely think she's one of the best people in politics and it's sad how so much focus has been put on her looks, because yeah gurl got it going on, however far more importantly so mentally given that she's in Congress and not a model.

Almost like a new or fresh face can energize a party.

From what I understand, the party of New Zealand's Prime Minister was down bad in the polls 6 weeks before the election. They brought her in, flipped their fortunes and now control the government (at the head)

All it took was a fresh face to energize the base, get out there and attract new interest in the party or shake off what made voters hesitant/apprehensive and bam, they're winning.

The reason why Americans were so apprehensive about Biden being replaced is the amount of chaos it could sow.

Dems did the same. Shook off Biden (his age was the reason why Trump was gaining in polls, not Trump's appeal), Kamala for intents and purposes is a fresh face (i know, VP, but she was very good at keeping her face out of the spotlight) and bam, energized base, money rolling in, strong and motivated GOTV ground games and renewed interest all around in the party.
