Kaiser Schnitzel posted:Yeah 25 years in the national guard, high school teacher and football coach, good midwest Lutheran, seems like a real salt of the earth guy who balances attacks against Harris of WEST COAST LIBERAL!! But turns out he's actually much further to the left than Harris, he just seems like the normal one! Beshear brings alot of those same qualities in terms of 'not a scary minority lady from the Democratic People's Republic of Kalifornia', as did Roy Cooper. I get the same feeling. Shapiro gives off "professional politician dork" vibes to me similar to Mayo Pete.

Someone here mentioned it was a really bad idea for Donnie to use the same venue as Kamala did and well... yep! https://x.com/KamalaHQ/status/1819890055957057634?t=RGftMih-Vk9JApGmCFVJOw&s=19 Also, they hosed up the print on the signs they handed out, so the "Kamala Harris" looked like nothing in the glare.

There was also all the confusion generated by the Philly Mayor's endorsement of Shapiro as VP. So how many of those edits are fueled by misinformation based on that? bird food bathtub posted:I don't remember exact dates but they are coming up on deadlines like paper work filing and "we already printed ballots for the entire state".

It's an interesting indicator, though it's worth noting that Harris still hasn't met all the candidates in person - so while they may be leaning one way, they probably haven't yet made a decision.

Naramyth posted:Nothing can get printed until after the democrats convention and the lock on who they are running. Each state has its own schedule. The earliest one was Ohio, which may or may not be August 7th. The next batch are August 31/Sept 1. Then there are some late September deadlines and a few beyond I think.

Naramyth posted:Nothing can get printed until after the democrats convention and the lock on who they are running. Mostly true. Ohio used to have a deadline of August seventh, but the legislature fixed that in May. After the debate, various Democrats made noise about having the delegates vote remotely, ahead of meeting in Chicago, ostensibly because they can’t trust the Ohio legislature to act in good faith, but also to lock in Biden as the nominee. At this point, the Democrats are still going to do the remote vote, but the earliest actual deadline as of Ohio fixing their poo poo is something like the twentieth.

You absolutely cannot trust the Ohio legislature to act in good faith, they're a bunch of ratfucking shitheads of the highest degree. I was looking up the vote by mail ballot application last night and they won't even process requests until October, which is a month later than they did in 2020. They also no longer let you request VBM ballots for every election in the year (primary+general) like they used to, you now have to send a request for each one. It's not quite as bad as Georgia's "enter the name of the voter you wish to purge" website but they're definitely doing their best to enshitten the process.

Wingnut Ninja posted:You absolutely cannot trust the Ohio legislature to act in good faith, they're a bunch of ratfucking shitheads of the highest degree. I mean I agree, insofar as the Democrats have more to gain than to lose by holding an early remote vote for Harris. The Republicans though can probably ditch Vance as late as the twentieth and still get someone else printed on ballots. Ohio will not ratfuck the GOP.

Oh right, the convo was about dropping Vance. Yeah, I have no doubt that Ohio would bend over backwards to the max extent possible to accommodate Republicans in that case.

Platystemon posted:Another hypothesis is that it’s Shapiro’s people cleaning up the article to make him more attractive to people lobbying Harris. Yeah it's this. Shapiro's the current hot topic because of his baggage while everyone else isn't: https://x.com/politico/status/1819910315489837233?t=DvsUJuwODPXWWCZvsBI_Vg&s=19 Walz et al aren't getting criticized by extremely online lefties/progressives, it's just Shapiro catching a lot of that flak due to the weird (it is) IDF volunteer work and various other "Straight Mayo Pete" vibes he's giving off. Also how obvious of a pick he'd be when home state VP nominees could get you +2% and PA is very close to the whole ballgame.

Shapiro clearly occupies the best office. It’s the man himself that makes it anything other than a shoe-in. The other governors are neutral. People draw a distinction between the blue state and red state governors over perception of liberal/moderate bent, but in either case, the selection of any one of these governors would not be a factor pushing their states over the line. Kelly is actively disadvantaged by his office. Democrats do not want to see him leave that Senate seat. I was going to put a joke here about cloning him, but he actually has an identical twin. The problem isn’t that cloning is nonviable, but that politics doesn’t work on anime rules. Oh right. Buttigieg exists. I think that he would be a bad choice and that his office disadvantages him. Buttigieg was the public face of some less glamorous events in the Biden administration, and he’s vulnerable to attacks about what he knew about Biden’s condition. Harris herself already faces these issues; a second helping is not advisable.

Everything else appears to be legal poo poo, like if the medical examiner can be overturned, how that matters for estate stuff, and the "who decides" in questionable circumstances.

RFK Jr. does not have a healthy relationship with animals.https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/04/politics/rfk-jr-bear-central-park/index.html posted:Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a social media video on Sunday that he drove a dead bear cub carcass from upstate New York and placed it in New York City’s Central Park 10 years ago, sharing the story in what he said was an effort to combat a forthcoming New Yorker article he predicted will be “a bad story.” It would make sense that he got the brain worm from the bear meat, but the deposition where he claimed the worm predates this incident.
