In ancient times, communities would offer their weakest livestock to appease angry gods, hoping the sacrifice might spare them from greater calamity. Modern political parties operate under surprisingly similar logic, sometimes burning through expendable candidates when they sense inevitable defeat looming on the horizon.
The Democratic Party’s 2024 vice presidential selection process unfolded under extraordinary pressure. With Joe Biden’s abrupt July exit from the race amid mounting concerns about his mental acuity, Kamala Harris inherited a campaign with barely 100 days until Election Day. The rushed timeline meant critical decisions had to be made quickly, often prioritizing internal party dynamics over electoral strategy.
Among the potential running mates, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro emerged as the obvious choice for swing-state appeal. His moderate positioning and governance record in a crucial battleground state made strategic sense. Yet party progressives harbored concerns about Shapiro’s positions on various issues, creating internal tension that would ultimately shape the selection process in ways that defied conventional electoral wisdom.

It even proved to be a good strategy initially. Then the public insisted on seeing what was behind the curtain and things gradually went downhill from there.
Very good article…thanks for posting it.
Elmer Fudd was the biggest lover they ever fielded.
I still think Walz was selected because he was the only one that didn’t say no.
Even the Biden/Harris ticket in 2020 was sacrificial. POTUS Trump knew they were going to steal the election. Biden and Harris, two of the most ignorant people to ever hold office in the USA, were more than willing to be “sacrificed”.
Notes were taken by the theft ring leaders as to what went wrong. You can start with Musk taking over Twitter and the fallout that followed.
I pray there will be arrest, incarcerations, and public firing squads or hangings for those who really did commit the treasonous acts. This can not ever happen again.
Shapiro would of said yes but the democrat party wouldn’t support a jew for vp
Walz has a lot of mental “issues”. The boy is nuts.
**The president suggested selecting Shapiro would have created genuine competition in Pennsylvania, though he maintained confidence in his eventual victory regardless.**
To JD-Let them continue to flail and build up Walz for ‘28. Do that by saying Trump would have lost to Bernie in ‘16. Build on the far left.
JD should debate the democrats one at a time starting next January with Walz and ‘take a fall’. Let the MSM run with our ‘weakness’.
