She was the vp. If we gave to someone else, the African Americans would have revolted. That was the circumstances.

She (i.e. Harris) should have picked Shapiro (for VP instead of Walz).

I don't think anyone could win when Trump is constantly being talked about left and right by the news media. Not to mention that racism and extremism run rampant in the rural US.

Maybe makes a difference in PA but the other blue wall states? Or NC/GA/AZ?

Biden backed out way too late and then Harris was installed. That doesn't play well with moderates/swing voters.

this was true even when she was still making her decision and people were attacking him. As if by just not having him we will avoid certain things.

It isn't over. It isn't going as most of us would have liked so far, but it isn't over---

and the VP candidate has made no measurable difference since possibly 1960. We all have been loving Walz, and there is NO chance that Shapiro would have been any more clever or made any difference in this election.

I am really not up for this. I'll move on.

But before I go--they would have found something wrong with everyone.
