    Shapiro wasn’t overlooked. He was in the top 2.

    He’s got legal baggage and is too moderate. Walz doesn’t have baggage and is progressive.

    The choice was obvious.

    Having a religion is like having a penis. It’s ok to have one. It’s ok to be proud of it! It’s not ok to wave it in people’s faces or shove it down their throats (unless you get consent). This thread is you choosing to wave your religion around. Knock it off, that’s gross.

    Not everyone needs to blame reality on an invisible sky daddy.

      Walz is also the rare kind of progressive that gets others to join him being progressive. he might not be the most progressive, but he’s effective.
