    A politician who tells it like it is? A guy you could, God forbid, have a beer with? A veteran even, but with working class cred and a love of video games. A total unknown on the national level, but beloved by his constituents… You couldn’t order a more perfect veep off a menu. It’s almost surreal

      What’s even better is that this is really him. Not a character, not adapting to the political race.

      Minnesotans are sad to lose him as governor, but he’ll be great as VP and definitely qualified to step in if something happened to Harris.

      “the expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute, fundamental necessity for the United States to have the steady leadership there”

      The average person you meet down the street has less thirst for blood and would make a better politician.

        But let’s humor your point. That is pretty awful, but what the fuck is the alternative? Voting Trump/Vance who will let Israel dial their genocide up to 11; shit they will probably actively encourage it, if there is votes/power or money in it for them.

          I barely have the energy to deal with such objections anymore. You’re spot on, and it’s unsatisfying, but when you’re faced with playing a rigged game or losing everything, the best you can do is ante up and plan your escape.
