He has a very pro-Israel record, but also has weirdly wishy-washy rhetoric about it.
Interesting pick. Maybe uncommitted spooked her?

it's another tim kaine moment; someone who has all the right qualities but no celebrity outside his pocket of the country and won't help budge the election needle.
Shapiro would have been a bad and divisive choice. Walsh was the best of the bunch and I'm absolutely stunned that she picked him.
Pelosi has been publicly pushing hard for Walz
"I wasn't familiar with your game" moment lmao
Her removing Biden and getting Walz is all pretty decent tbh. Way better than the norm of Hilldog Dems failing constantly
You just described every VP pick ever.
Is she trying to loose?
Edit: did you mean to say pro-Palestinian? If she was worried about the uncommitted movement that unseated Biden, wouldn't she pick someone pro-Palestine?
No, he's pro-Israel. But talks about it in weird liberation language that is common to Zionists in "progressive" circles. Very sinister.
And the people the Dems are trying to pull in with this move are not those with enough conviction to actually care about Palestine. He is just someone who has a few middling "progressive achievements" that libs can point to as a defence against the truth that Kamala isn't really that progressive.

He's probably the most progressive governor in the country. Minnesota has passed a ton of great social democratic stuff over the past few years. Which obviously isn't socialism, but it's better than what everyone else has done, including Shapiro.
Also, agreed on the Zionism. But a progressive Zionist is much better than a militant one like Shapiro
Not sure who would've been better than Walz, tbh
He’s probably the most progressive governor in the country.
Yes and it's an indictment of this country lol
He's sympathetic to the anti-genocide protests and very vocal about it. Like I said, wishy washy.
