Skipping Ohio in favor of the Sun Belt is a promising sign.

Yeah, I mean weāve got two GA polls today where sheās even in one and +1 in the other, very much seems like GA is back in play. Also one with her ahead in AZ and narrowly behind in NC. Definitely seems like the map has expanded again.
Iām listening (or reading if you have a link)
They were vacant and abandoned homes, but go ahead and believe whatever propaganda you like.
All this does is rehash the primary where folks decided not to look at actual facts and spin things however they want to make their own guy look better, which is fine, but that was literally 4 and a half years ago and I can tell you that real people in South Bend loved Pete. Real Black people in South Bend loved Pete, so much so that they re-elected him with a larger vote share than his first election.

Itās fine to believe Jacobin and Briahna Joy Grey and the ārat fuckerā crowd instead of the people who actually worked with and for him, I get it, it confirms your priors.
Iām done fighting the 2020 primary, and it looks like he wonāt be VP so you can all breathe a little easier for the next few years until he becomes Governor of Michigan then President

Please donāt talk to me like that. Thanks in advance.
sorry, that was more meant for the rest of the folks here.
Iām so tired of propaganda from both sides that just isnāt true. I know you read his memoir, the things that micro and AQ are talking about are addressed in there, but they like to spin it in ways that take them out of context, like the abandoned and vacant homes initiative. Itās on the record that they made sure that the homes truly were vacant and abandoned, and they made every effort to contact the owners, many of which were out of state ālandlordsā or property managers who were failing to maintain the buildings.
waving it off as ātearing down black peopleās homesā is trite and untrue.

Should probably note that this tidbit showed up again in this article:
Harris is planning to interview potential vice presidential nominees in the upcoming days, said people familiar with the vetting process and granted anonymity to speak freely. Other names in the mix include Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Maybe just smokescreen to say this, but if sheās actually still interviewing them then surely it wouldnāt be a done deal. The location of her stops makes sense, and you would expect a tour like this to start on one side of the map or the other (so not in Detroit or Wisconsin). I donāt know. Iām still hoping on my preferred choices despite this strong hint that itās not happening.
I hear you, but when you reply to me, I will take your post as a reply to me.
I didnāt know about that. Thanks for the info. Just keeping a curious mind for the things I like about him as well as what I might not like.

Think Iāve talked myself into this thing actually not being decided yet. Signaling it that hard a week out without just announcing it would be odd. Would also note that the announcement would be made BY Tuesday, not necessarily on Tuesday.
Yeah, if she hasnāt even gotten to interview them yet, Iām back to thinking she hasnāt picked.
The law firm vetting and security clearance investigations are probably getting close to being done for those who need it, now itās onto the āvibes with Kamalaā phase
I didnāt say anything about the vacant homes. I did read about it and yeah, itās a complicated thing and shrug. Maybe he did fine with that. Some people were unhappy. Some people were trying to fix up the homes, but couldnāt. But removing blight helps people too.
Butā¦of course Pete wouldnāt tell WaPo in 2019 that he joined the military to further his political career. Are you kidding me? Were you serious about that? Really? Really? You cite his story to prove that heās not a stiver? Hey, get this, maybe heās a liar.
