TYT DEBATES: Who Is The Progressive Choice For VP?

"Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris is reportedly in the final stages of picking a running mate. Unfortunately, the best pick—by which I mean the most progressive pick—is being denounced by progressives in the most self-defeating way. Josh Shapiro, the wildly popular governor of swing state Pennsylvania, is one of the frontrunners, and yet progressives have started a campaign against him over his position on Israel.

My fellow progressives: It's got to stop. Josh Shapiro is the progressive pick."

Did Cenk hit his head or something? No progressive is saying that Shapiro is worse than the likes of Mark Kelly. What they *are* saying is that Tim Walz and Andy Beshear are better.

[marlonlo]

Tim Walz for VP. He delivered for working people and much better regarding Gaza than Sharipo.

[Mr_Timi]

Cenk is making a straw-man argument what progressive is pushing Kelly? I don't want Mark kelly over shapiro I want walz over shapiro....

[jeffreymontoya]

Tim Walz is the best choice. As a Minnesotan he's already made my life better. I hope he gets the chance to make life better for all Americans.

[Paul-]

Walz is the most progressive that's just a fact.

[danielwolf]

Walz is by far the more progressive choice, which means she'll probably choose Shapiro. It's not rocket science, despite progressive policies being incredibly popular among voters a corporate democrat will always choose the least progressive candidate they think they can get away with, because that's what their donors want.

[uwuzzzzz]

Cenk never explained why Shapiro over Walz

[tomhirschi]

I've never doubted Cenk's honesty before. But...why did you write an apology for Shapiro in NEWSWEEK? Has the Lobby gotten to him?

[afdin]

Cenk! Why don't you get the fundamentals correct. Only right wing and conservatives support Israel and Shapiro is a die hard supporter of Israel, so how could Shapiro be possibly liberal?

[CGAcheer]

Cenk is losing this debate- Shapiro is bad on school vouchers- then you say Mark Kelly is bad

No one actually wants Mark Kelly.

The Progressive pick is Walz

The 🤷‍♂️ pick is Shapiro

[epiphany]

Cenk actually supporting Shapiro over Walz has me wondering who has a blackmail folder over him

[lukesmith]

Cenk is wrong and Jordon is right on this one.

[charlesnunya]

you want to give Shapiro all the credit for say Bebe is bad and nothing else. But keep refusing to give Walz any credit for already having called for a ceasefire

[samotheba]

Anti Netanyahu is a position held by most Israelis. They want him gone. It's not an act of great political bravery to criticise him.

[boastagon]

Tim Walz is a great pick! The best pick, in my opinion.

[DungeonMetal]

Glad the audience is aligned in thinking Cenk is wrong and Jordan is correct.

[Antonius]

Cenk is so wrong on this it's very strange idk how he's come to his conclusions...

[rezrunnercl]

Jordin is right. Both Kelly and Shapiro should be avoided at all costs!

[Markj]

Walz is clearly the progressive pic, it's not even close.

[Arthur-helj]

Tim Waltz for VP for all the right reasons. Regardless of the other 3 apparent front runners... either way, I don't think she can lose against this x-president (if we all get out the vote), so why not go for the best choice for the country. The man has the integrity, the energy, the positive certainty, the charisma, the intelligence, the incredible governing record, and the ability to reach out to all levels of our society. This should be a no-brainer? “Theee Only Pick”!
