Seems more like a realistic appraisal of the risks associated with choosing Shapiro. maxsolomon Aug 2024 #6

It would be one of the most stupid political moves pro-Palestinian groups could make to tip a state or the election lees1975 Aug 2024 #11

I'm guessing they don't want anyone who doesn't think Mountainguy Aug 2024 #140

Why they would "react negatively" to a Shapiro nomination? Just because he's Jewish? PeaceWave Aug 2024 #12

Not just because he's Jewish. maxsolomon Aug 2024 #13

You do understand that zionism means Israel has the right exist and Jews the right to live there? Demsrule86 Aug 2024 #18

I think Shapiro will be the VP...it give us an easy win in PA... Demsrule86 Aug 2024 #100

That's one way of looking at it. Other views may differ and think it makes it harder to win. brush Aug 2024 #102

Can you imagine if this was a bunch of Jews?! Behind the Aegis Aug 2024 #8

Who is the Muslim being considered for VP? SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #9

Sorry.... Mossfern Aug 2024 #10

The point is that any other group targeted as Shaprio has been would caused an uproar...but why does it Demsrule86 Aug 2024 #22

I've never seen Bernie Sanders targeted for being Jewish SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #23

He had a brief run for POTUS Mossfern Aug 2024 #25

He had two runs SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #35

Besides Bernie none ran for POTUS Mossfern Aug 2024 #48

I don't disagree SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #51

Oh, for sure Mossfern Aug 2024 #54

The concern about Bernie centered on his policies whathehell Aug 2024 #92

He supports the pro-Palestinians protestors and has all along... Demsrule86 Aug 2024 #30

So it's more about positions on issues SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #38

Nope, if it was issues than Shapiro would not be single out. Demsrule86 Aug 2024 #74

And may those issue are what will allow us win PA...he won by significant vote in PA. Demsrule86 Aug 2024 #31

So there is no way to win Pennsylvania? SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #37

We have to win PA...I think Shapiro given his popularity wins it for us. Demsrule86 Aug 2024 #77

Yes we do SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #84

Of course there is...I think Shapiro give us the best chance though. Demsrule86 Aug 2024 #79

We need to win PA more than bolster pro- Palestinian protestors . All of the VP candidates have same the view -you know Demsrule86 Aug 2024 #21

I have seen no conclusive evidence whatsoever that we will lose PA if Shapiro is not the VP. Celerity Aug 2024 #42

This is a hit piece. The commonwealth of Pennsylvania employees 80,000 people... PeaceWave Aug 2024 #49

It's still a concern SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #52

It IS a hit piece because it makes it sound like Shapiro was somehow complicit. He was NOT. PeaceWave Aug 2024 #55

He wasn't complicit SocialDemocrat61 Aug 2024 #58

However Mossfern Aug 2024 #34

His stances/actions are not the same (in re Israel) as most all of the other candidates (including Pritzker, who is also Celerity Aug 2024 #75
