I hope #KamalaHarris selects #JoshShapiro as her VP.
Not only is he an excellent speaker who has done an amazing job as Gov of #Pennsylvania, but he was a fierce defender of the #2020election / #democracy as PA #AttorneyGeneral.
Also, as a fellow prosecutor, he KNOWS #Harris. They have an actual relationship.
Shapiro’s stmnt endorsing #Harris included the following, “I’ve known Kamala Harris for nearly two decades”
#JoshShapiro just made a speech in Pittsburgh w/administrator of the #EPA, Michael Regan, to announce new investments strengthening #manufacturing that reduces #pollution & during Q&A very politically did not answer whether or not he was “interested in the job” of #VP.
Boosted a previous post about the non youth democratic mind citing my mother as an example.
Just texted her my hope for a #HarrisShapiro ticket, she replied:
“That would be nice but i think a better bet will be a white male who may be part christian or non religious & heterosexual. “
Had to tell her #JoshShapiro is hetero (IDK why she assumed otherwise) who married his HS sweetheart & has 4 kids.
Her reply?
“Being a parent is probably important”
I’m a nonbreeder - welcome to my life.

Gov #JoshShapiro: Y'all go crack open that whole #Project2025 thing.… Hold on I’m gonna repeat it, these are not my words, they’re the words of this guy here in the front row, “That's some scary shit right there.” It is an agenda to take away more of your #freedoms. It is an agenda to use the #police & the #military in this country to settle scores with his enemies. It's an agenda to #pollute our #air & undermine #PublicSafety.
@Nonilex Perhaps it's the "may be part Christian" part. Hope she doesn't object to his Jewishness.
@not2b her reply was hella coded belief that a Jewish person couldn’t win. She said the same thing when I said Jamie Raskin.
@Nonilex I guess winning election to governor in the largest swing state doesn't count?
@not2b stopped trying to figure out her motives about 2 years ago (it took me that long though)
@Nonilex Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear.
@Nonilex I feel your pain but I have to tell you a big tall white guy who middle America sees as just that is what Kamala needs on her up hill ticket. Beto would be perfect. He pulls Texas. He’s as tall and white and boyish as you can get, and they have great chemistry. #Harris2024 #USPol #Beto
@Pineywoozle @Nonilex I like Beto a lot but hasn't he lost three consecutive elections? I don't necessarily see her winning Texas with him as a running mate.
@TerpieCat @Nonilex He lost the last one in a squeaker. Honestly, I think he would pull Texas given what’s going on there. But more than anything it’s about how they look together and how disgustingly white middle-class, intelligent educated at Cetera he looks. She needs that on this ticket.
@Pineywoozle @Nonilex I really like Beto.
@WJBL I like him for this ticket more than anything else because he brings something to it. He brings her humor and still tempers it a teeny bit. He brings that wide swath of white middle-class America. He’s bright he’s funny and he cares about women. I just haven’t seen anyone else stand next to her ever that worked as well. #Harris2024 #USPol @Nonilex
@Pineywoozle @WJBL @Nonilex
I'm also a big fan. I'm good with about anybody she picks and they need to be President ready for 2032.
@WJBL @Pineywoozle @Nonilex Beto's got too much baggage, people have negative associations with him 'he will take away our guns' etc
@Pineywoozle @WJBL @Nonilex I like Beto, I like Pritzker, my personal favourite is Swalwell, but I realize he probably won't fly. I'm sure people are buzzing like busy little bees drawing up shortlists and weighing up pros and cons of candidates.
@Tharpa @WJBL @Nonilex Neither of those two make her seem presidential and I like both of them but I don’t like them with Kamala when I visualize them. I don’t see their styles meshing or being complementary. I honestly think if Hill had picked someone with the charisma of Sherrod Brown, she might have beaten, the odds. It will be interesting to see who Kamala pics.
@Pineywoozle @WJBL @Nonilex I hope she puts a lot of thought into it, for picking the wrong VP could spell disaster, but this goes without saying. I'm sure the combined genius of experienced statesmen, and advisors will steer her around the jagged rocks of error, until the haven of safety is reached at last.
@Tharpa Oh man I hope so.
@Nonilex "I want things to be more white, male, Christian, hetero, and breedy"... Has your mom heard the good news about Project 2025!?
@Nonilex Do you have pets though... I find if you do this fills the gaps lol
@Aviva_Gary of course. The more people I meet, the more I love my dog. I’m a proud rescuer of critters. You can check out my #BabySquirrel rescue by clicking the hashtag.
I've been meaning to inquire about Ramone. Do you get any updates from the rescue org?
@MarkRDavid @Nonilex So cute
I too would like to know about Ramone...
In which case tell the elder/mom that you already gave them a grand puppy... what more do they want?!
@MarkRDavid @Aviva_Gary unfortunately no updates since handling my sweet #BabySquirrel Ramone off. They had a lot of squirrels & said it was difficult to be certain which was which.
@Nonilex @MarkRDavid Then they are all Ramone and I hope the Ramones are doing well
@MarkRDavid @Nonilex yes... this is the way
@Nonilex
The government's red ink is the people's back ink.
@Nonilex
I trust she will make the right pick.
There are many excellent candidates. I don't see a clearly superior candidate. They all have many pluses and few minuses.
@Nonilex "Ok, my foul-mouthed friends!"
@Nonilex I just love Whitmer, she does not wither but comes back at them stronger. She is the vision of leadership
