Fuck that, the way we should want MAGA to go after Kamala on the racial side to make MAGA look like shit in public we should want the same with a Shapiro VP slot. Not only is he super talented, but he will bring out the anti-Semitic MAGA base and make the campus left look docile by comparison. For me, Shapiro *is* the best pick on merit, but also because of the importance of PA in the race, that he can blunt any anti-fracking criticism thrown at Kamala, and that he'll bring out the MAGA anti-Semitism and shit-can the message that liberals are the anti-Semitic side when they're running a Jew for VP. He'll also absolutely wreck JD Vance in the VP debate. Nothing but pluses for me with respect to Shapiro. I love Pete and voted for him in the 2020 primary, but I think Shapiro is 100% the best choice here on a number of factors. Harris/Shapiro 2024 y'all!!!

Nah, I don’t want him shot by a crazed Leftist. Much more worrisome than MAGA.

There won't be a crazed leftist doing that. A crazed incel maybe, but not a crazed leftist. Crazed leftists go after SCOTUS justices and congressional baseball games.

That was true but now there’s Gaza.

I don’t make the rules, sadly.

The left also generally hate guns and suck at shooting so I'm not really worried about assassination attempts from the left who are scared of AR-15s generally-speaking, and the ones who aren't can't really shoot worth of shit anyway. I say this as a leftist who likes guns and *can* shoot lol. The fucking congressional baseball game guy was a lot closer to his targets than the Butler shooter and could barely make hits. I'm really not worried about that sort of thing, much more worried about crazy rightwing shooters.

I hope we are both wrong about all of it.

After Butler USSS is going to tighten up their game tighter than it already was. That makes me less worried too. All of these P/VP candidates are going to get the best protection details the government can foster from here on out.

I hope there’s a new agency head soon.

Yea me too. The deputy will be able to do some ship-tightening in the meanwhile but it takes a new agency head to really get the institutional ship to turn.
