Not in the state that matters. You don't seem to see the "big picture": "More than 650,000 Democrats voted against Biden over the last four months by choosing options such as “uncommitted,” with others protesting in other states through write-ins, blank ballots, votes for other candidates and other means." "The protest votes were often from areas that voted for him heavily four years ago, including among Arab American voters in Michigan and among young voters on college campuses across key battleground states." "But the risks are enormous for Biden if even a small segment of the coalition that powered him to the White House stays home or chooses a third-party candidate instead." "But there’s a stubborn, nearly 10 percent slice of the Democratic electorate that keeps voting “uncommitted,” including in New Jersey (9 percent) and New Mexico (10 percent) on Tuesday." "A week later, “uncommitted” got 19 percent in Minnesota, driven by strong performances in the Twin Cities." " In Wisconsin, a handful of precincts in Madison around the University of Wisconsin saw at least 40 percent of voters cast their ballots for “uninstructed.” In Washington state, the “uncommitted” vote won two delegates to the Democratic National Convention...." www.politico.com/news/2024/06/05/biden-uncommitted-primary-vote-00161700Those were the ones who bothered to protest...I bet another couple million just stayed home and didn't vote.... |

I see the big picture. But there's literally no path if Harris doesn't win Pennsylvania. The current map with tossups is 251-226. If Pennsylvania goes Republican, Trump gets to 270. Harris could sweep the remainder of the board and she still gets to only 268. I know you're hyper focused on Gaza. Winning Pennsylvania is the only thing that matters. |

And while I'm at it, "equitable treatment is that we all end up at the same place"...We want equality of outcomes NOW! Can't wait to see the policies that make that happen.

Again, doesn't matter without Pennsylvania. "Given this math, it may seem like a no-brainer to pick the governor who boasts a 60 percent approval rating in the single most valuable battleground state. But there is one flaw in this reasoning: There is virtually no evidence that picking a vice presidential candidate from any particular state actually increases a party’s support in that state. Shapiro might nonetheless be Harris’s best option. And it’s conceivable that he could marginally improve her support in Pennsylvania. But if he did, he’d be an exception to the rule. Harris would be well-advised to give more weight to other considerations when making her selection." www.vox.com/politics/363899/kamala-harris-vp-pick-josh-shapiro-walz-kellyClearly the definite downside of picking Shapiro is greater than his unlikely potential upside...especially with the baggage he is carrying and the inter-party disenchantment with him and/or his policies...why make the move on such a controversial person over a safer pick? |

Stay woke people (can I say that still?)...anyway, we have to... To be woke means to be conscious, alert and aware of ones' surrounding...the only ones wanting a person asleep are child abusers, burglars and MAGA...they want everyone unconscious, inattentive and unaware...they don't want resistance to malfeasance they do....STAY WOKE!! |
