103. Bascially, you are hinting that given the political situation, we can't have a Jewish VP nomminee.

And Shapiro has nothing to do with Israel...would it surprise you that the only casualties of this political situation thus far are Jamal Bowman who lost his primary and Cori Bush who is down by six in her primary. Both supported the Palestinian cause and both were in political trouble for it...bowman lost his seat and Bush will likely lose hers to her primary opponent.
