“Palestinians will not coexist peacefully,” Shapiro wrote. “They do not have the capabilities to establish their own homeland and make it successful even with the aid of Israel and the United States. They are too battle-minded to be able to establish a peaceful homeland of their own.”
Dude is just a fuckin racist. Of course he'll be the VP pick lmao.
Love the huge effort to say there's two sides on the issue with valid opinions. I'm a dick for "wanting fascism" (because pointing out liberal flaws means you support DJT) over a "disagreement on one issue"
Truly think some Nazi scale shit is going to happen in my lifetime and we will hear about how "it's complicated" and "context is important" about ongoing genocide
It will be a tremendous self-own if Harris picks Shapiro as her VP nom. Although Harris is probably not going to change any policy on Israel/Palestine, she has plausible deniability with those libs who are rightly appalled with Biden over that policy, because she has no record of her own, and can say some nicer things. Picking this guy would kill her plausible deniability.
It's like how Clinton needed to pick a soft progressive VP in 2016 to appease Bernie voters, but doubled down and picked Tim Kaine. The VP slot is supposed to protect your turnout by shoring up where you're weak.
They're more worried about swing states and he's from a Trump voting state I believe, but still managed to win the election. The hope is probably that he can bring those voters to the ticket to win the state.
