she started out very weak for me when she held that in person meeting with netanyahu to confirm continued support for the genocide; but then she issued a statements the next day calling for it to end; so it’s looking promising.

i wish she did something more than cheap words to help me convince myself to vote for her.

Well, AOC plays the game quite well. I agreed with her that it was too late to switch.

To be clear, I’m an independent conservative that doesn’t like Biden or Harris. But you can count me to vote against Trump and is ilk (people who don’t see certain groups as people, people who deny science).

Republicans may be tolerable at a local level — especially because I live in a conservative county. But there is no way in hell I can trust Republicans not to cave to party leadership

You should get off your high horse before it becomes impossible. I still absolutely believe Biden could have and probably would’ve won, but I will admit that I was wrong that him dropping out ended up being good rather than bad.

Are those people going to vote for Trump instead?

… So she will pick Biden? /s

Seems kind of insulting to hold the announcement in the state of one of the contenders and not choose them. I suppose it could signal that even though she didn’t choose Shapiro it doesn’t mean they don’t prioritize PA. Feels like a stretch though.

A more mundane reason for the location (if it’s not Shapiro) is that this is going so fast they don’t have the ability to change Harris’s plans for a symbolic reveal. It’s entirely likely these things were already in motion before a decision was even made. They just don’t have the time to change which state they start their tour in.
