I haven’t yet seen what CNN, MSNBC and the rest are saying about Kamal Harris’ VP pick, Tim Walz , as it’s only just happened, but you know it’s going to be wildly supportive. Just as Kamala herself went from being a dodgy untalented Veep to the Second Coming of Barack Obama, so Tim Walz will be lauded for his progressive views.
So that’s a given. For a conservative view, one that won’t be seen in MSM, there’s Shapiro above. I know many can’t stand Shapiro if only for his voice. And I find him hard to take quite often. I don’t agree with a lot of his rather right wing views. Bit I do respect his smarts and we know that the GOP does take note of his views. Given that his Daily Wire company is the largest conservative news and content company in America.
Short Ben: Tim Walz is a radical pick. Partly chosen because he’s not a Jew, as was the expected pick, Josh Shapiro (no relation to Ben). This choice gives the GOP a new attack vector.
Many moderate Democrats, the likes of talk show host Bill Maher say they haven’t left the Democratic Party but that the Democratic Party left them.
Whatever side you’re on during this fascinating election, it’s worth a bit of both-sidesing, in the sense of getting both sides to a candidate, views from the MSM, inevitably Left, and from the Right of the pod-sphere.
A view from a an independent. One of the commenters there: “Team Harris is now Team Hamas”.
And Megyn Kelly here.
ADDED: In the video at top there’s a clip of Josh Shapiro talking of the 2-State Solution. Hoping for “two states living side by side in peace, respecting each other’s rights, worshipping whoever they wished”. Right. And that was the hope for the whole well-meaning world. Until we realised: (1) Palestinians rejected every single proposal for a 2-state solution since even before 1948 and up to 2022. And (2) the Palestinians never even wanted a 2-state solution. They’ve said so repeatedly, though we’ve only recently come to believe them. Consider this: there has never been a proposed map of what the 2-states might look like. Only proposals from the Israeli side.
