I like both Shapiro and Walz, but choosing Shapiro would send a good message that Democrats won't let their party get taken over by extremists the way Republicans have.

Harris shouldn't worry about the far left: they'll find some minor issue or stance to be outraged over and refuse to vote, anyway. They're the loudest wing of the Democratic party, and the dumbest, but they're in no way the majority.

I'd like some of whatever you're smoking. Such delusion must be drug-induced.

The party that backs Hamas and Iran, whose Socialist wing openly supports the eradication of the Jewish people, that believes there are hundreds of genders, that men can have babies and women can have penises, that believes you can cut crime by defunding police, that believes that going soft on minority criminals will make them less likely to commit crime, that encourages mentally ill and violent homeless people to destroy our cities, that allows ten million unvetted immigrant to pour across the border solely for the purposes of changing the electorate (Yes, white replacement is real), that diverts billions of dollars to help said ILLEGAL ALIENS over citizens, and thinks abortion should be allowed up to the moment of birth (hey, I'm pro-choice but even at that I have my limits), that thinks that public schools can encourage kinds to undergo sexual mutilation without telling parents - and WE'RE the extremists?

YGTBFKM.

Yes, nothing proves you're not the extremist like an unhinged rant of conspiracy theories.

It's really, really weird to see folks read that list and call any one of them a "conspiracy". You don't truly believe that, I know you don't. We don't have to agree politically, (and we obviously don't), but even my most hardened liberal friends can easily see the above list as legit - and admit a large faction of regressives have highjacked their party. Again, seeing anyone call that a "conspiracy" .... wow ..... it's like zero (absolutely ZERO self awareness).

Your reply reads like a cry for help

After reading your posts here, the best I can say about you is that I could walk into a psychiatric ward at a hospital, pick a patient at random, and odds are that patient would have a better grip on reality than you.

If you walked into a psychiatric ward, they'd never let you out.

LMAO .... classic regressive projectivism. Not at all surprising.... The only thing "crazy" here is that you and your type don't yet realize this charade doesn't work.

Are you mad at Eric or me?

I'm not mad at either of you, I just posted to the wrong comment as you both were talking about psych wards. But trust me, Eric and I would be the orderlies, dressed in white, looking at each other in silence as we listen to you explain where on the doll common sense escaped you.

Your dress and doll fantasy is great, Chad. Totally healthy. Not weird at all.

Yeah, I was kind of wondering until I scrolled down further.

Walz has been for horrible for Minnesota. People are leaving MN as quickly as they can - just like they are abandoning California.

He's got a +15 approval rating in the state so I don't think your sentiment is valid.

In part, because he has worked hard to drive out Republicans, thus solidifying leftist control over the state. Think "Curley Effect".

Well, there really isn't a factual basis for that. His approval rating is high & Minnesota posted a positive population growth in 2023. In the only data I could find on individual counties the population gains between 2000-2022 in Minnesota showed more red counties gained in population than did blue counties. Minnesota has been blue every Presidential election since 1976 and has fluctuated between dominant blue wins like 1996 at16% & 2008 at 11% to very close ones at 2.4% in 2000 & 1.5% in 2016. Point being, I don't think Walz is "driving out Republicans solidifying leftist control". It's been blue, and has been even bluer than it is now before.

Is this a Star-Tribune poll? Even those of us from well outside MN know how badly their polls have skewed to the left?

Now, I doubt he's under water in a moderately leftish state, but it's not as far left as NY or CA. I believe the Ds have a narrow majority in the legislature, and Trump got pretty close in 2016.

The favorability rating? That number came from several sources such as Morning Consult & KSTP-TV/SurveyUSA both reporting greater than 10% approvals.
