I was sure it was going to be professional genocide ghoul Shapiro. Color me surprised.

    Yeah, I agree entirely. It is at least a sign that she may have a real threshold when it comes to support for Israel, which is probably about the best we can hope for from the Democrats. Picking Shapiro would have been a signal that she is all in on the genocide, so it’s at least worth celebrating that she went another way. I don’t really expect this to turn into meaningful support for Palestine, but it does at least represent a step back from total bloodthirsty support of Israel, which is what we’ve gotten with Biden (and which is increasingly unpopular with the Democratic voters). As you said, maybe it at least means she wouldn’t fall in line with Israel attempting to subjugate an entire region of the planet.
