   As we covered earlier this morning, I'm not a Democrat, nor am I someone who believes electing a Democrat ticket in the upcoming US Presidential election will stop fascism. But if I *were* an everyday Dem who believes the most important thing is stopping Trump in November, I would consider it a VERY good sign that both the American right *and* affluent members of the liberal establishment (media, donors, center right pols who call themselves liberals) are big mad about picking Walz over Shapiro.

     Again, don't get it twisted, this is not an endorsement, especially not for Governor Tear Gas, but these are two groups of ppl who objectively do not have your best interests at heart, and are both consistently fucking wrong about everything (I'd argue on purpose, since they don't represent popular opinion; just the whims of the rich ppl that own them.) Literally a month ago both wingers and bougie liberal establishment types were telling you Biden must stay and Harris would doom you for example

     So what I'm hearing is, you've already gotten your appointment for a face tattoo for Walz and Harris.

     My personal favorite right now is watching the extreme, and I do mean extreme, crazy people on the right screaming about how not picking Shapiro is because they hate jewish people. Like, 3 weeks ago these same exact people were talking about them as explicitly shifty people, just absolutely layered with anti-semetic dogwhistles to the point where it obscured the points.

     Here's the skinny on Governor Tear Gas:

     99% of the time ostensibly liberal protestors do serious damage to infrastructure it turns out that they're right wing agitators. Walz knows this, he knew it then. Gassed Left Wing protestors anyway.

     Whatever bit of mad the ZioDem/DLC Right may have been at Copmala about Shapiro is now almost completely satiated after that rally where she reestablished their dominance with her own personal Sista Souljah moment. They circled the wagons pretty quick. And, it turns out, Walz is himself a Bibi Democrat AND has his own inner Frank Rizzo that can burst out when summoned.

     Mission accomplished. Liberals are hooked, progressives are cooked, and nothing really changes.
