Even better, the worrisome weird noise it was making was just a minor thing that needed screwed back in

omg i hadn’t heard the term veepstakes i love that

withsyrup: ME TOO IT'S SO GREAT

I think it started around the time it was narrowed down to just Kelly, Shapiro, and Walz, and I definitely agree it's one of the best bits of wordplay to come out of an election cycle

VEEPSTAKES

Having seen Gabby Giffords several times since her injury, it would have been cruel to push her onto a campaign trail with so little prep. It's not that she's not fine, but her TBI issues mean she can't be verbally spontaneous.

So I was crossing my fingers against Mark Kelly anyway.

I was crossing my fingers against him because we need him here

That, too.

But also you're right for another (horrible) reason, and that's because I cannot imagine Trumpworld would treat her if it WAS Kelly

She's largely sticking to private events for a reason. To be comfortable at her performance level, she needs a lot of careful management in what she's exposed to. Both physically and mentally. Plus she's still got lifelong therapy to keep and improve on what she has.

(Mark and Gabby are seen out socially fairly regularly when they're both in town. But always in places where part of what you're paying for to be there is respect and privacy.)

i went racing to see if walz won and was so happy. fuck shapiro too

Shapiro just gave a great speech at the rally so I feel like we'll get the benefit of him being an attack dog for the Dems in PA without all the downsides he'd bring on the ticket

The most relatable shit ever from the Walz:

Extremely relatable

shapiro likened palestinian protestors to the "kkk" so i kinda hate him lmao

Yeah that was fucked up

I'm fine with him hyping up the crowd and getting PA votes but I would not have loved voting for him

i would have actively hated it tbh

So happy we got Midwestern Dad instead

walz i genuinely like

for a politican

and shapiro would have sucked all the wind out of the sails for a lot of leftists/younger folk, walz does the opposite

SO I'M VERY HAPPY

Yeah the momentum is surging now

HOPE THE REPUBLICANS ARE PISSING THEMSELVES

I really think they are

it's WILD how a month/two months ago i felt nothing about november. i was totally ready for another 4 years of trump because i had no confidence in biden. now we're living in a timeline where i think we stand a chance

i mean i realize that is still very much a possibility i don't want to be shocked by another 2016

but now i actually don't feel resigned to our collective fate anymore

The energy is wildly different

anyway white women better get their fucking shit together lmao we KNOW the percentages and i'm still not fucking impressed, as someone white and afab

Hahahahahaha Walz made a couch joke

LMAO his little "you see what I did there?"

DID HE LMAO

favorite misinfo, alongside jk rowling's "moldy walls" that just happened
