A survey of 600 likely general election voters in Michigan, released late Thursday by WDIV Local 4/Detroit News, found that zero African American respondents said that they supported Trump, while 82.1 percent said they supported Vice President Kamala Harris.

    Kamala ended up being a better choice than I could have imagined. Republicans can’t help themselves when you have a black candidate and a woman. They are now being the racist and xenophobic bigots we knew they would and they’ll lose the black vote and women votes. The two categories that I think made up the majority of swing voters this election cycle. Let’s hope Kamala doesn’t mess up her VP pick.

        The media couldn’t call him anti-Semitic as easily, could they?

        Narrator Voice: They could.

        Seriously though, it’s not like the idiots listening to the nonsense have any logic behind the garbage they parrot, so it wouldn’t surprise me.

        I think he’d make an excellent pick for VP, though I’d also say so would many of the options on the apparent short list. I guess we will find out soon who the official pick is.

          Considering Trump was just on a podcast where they did exactly that with Kamala’s husband, yes, they would absolutely attack Shapiro as antisemitic.

      Honestly if the DNC just wants to name it’s pick as “whoever will trigger the Republicans the most”, I’m kinda here for it.

      I think they’d be pressing their luck with Buttigieg tho. I think Kelly is the safest choice.

      The rollout has been masterful. I was a severe doubter due to her 2020 campaign, but I’m entirely on board now. I’m almost allowing myself the slightest bit of hope, which I haven’t really had since two days before the 2016 election.
