Walz vs Shapiro, compare them on the issues that matter:

Edu: Walz was a public school teacher, Shapiro is pro-vouchers

Bernie, Pelosi, and Manchin are backing Walz for VP, while Fetterman has come out publicly against Shapiro for VP.

If you can build a coalition like this to oppose you, you’re definitely not the right candidate for the job.

@KamalaHQ is on Truth Social, but not Bluesky.

If we want to replace Twitter for good, we’re gonna need accounts like this on Bluesky.

I am once again asking the Democratic Party to embrace the most basic populist positions that poll well across demographics.

As AG, Josh Shapiro threatened to punish Ben & Jerry’s, a company founded by Jewish-Americans, because they refused to sell their products in illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

Anyone who supports the widely-condemned Israeli settlements should be disqualified from VP.

If the Democratic Party and Harris campaign want to do more than win in November, they’d pick Walz or Beshear for VP.

Both of these accomplished Democrats can make the case to rural and Republican voters, without comprising on any progressive policy positions.

Here’s a list of some of the worst Democrats on Capitol Hill.

At this historic moment, when the party is uniting behind Kamala’s campaign, these ghouls decide that now is the moment to pressure her and the party to start supporting #crypto currencies, and deregulate the industry further. #politics
