I am the version of DD from the year 2035 in the dark future where the pivotal moment in the title of this thread happened as described. I have this timeline's version of DD tied up in the basement until I can find a more permanent place to stay. Congrats on dodging the bullet that my timeline could not. Ask me anything.

I believe most of you would have been fine with a Shapiro pick. Don't worry, even if you do feel that way we forgive you for that and will give your children free lunches too.

She should have stuck with Shapiro instead of trying to save place by taking it back prior to the announcement.  Yes he is evil,  but at least e has a room temperature IQ

My wife was not.  Like most, I thought he would be because of rust belt, however, ive always stated, she and they,  no more than I do about each candidate than I do, and that her chemistry with the candidate is a factor of her consideration of does this feel good as well as right and smart thing to do.

You must be really disappointed about the pick then. Shapiro is the type of guy to give a bunch of true but boring speeches about how your hateful views are divisive and should be condemned while Walz is the type of guy to call you a couch fucker while laughing and giving you a swirlie.

Who are you and what have you done with the real DD?

Oh wait.

In that case, how does Kamala end up winning Pennsylvania? In our timeline, and how does she lose Pennsylvania in your timeline?

I am prevented by TISE (Temporal Information Security Enforcement) from giving any information about the future of your native timeline (the Walz timeline) but I can tell you stuff about my timeline (the Shapiro timeline) and the Biden timeline (where Biden never dropped out)

Pennsylvania actually went red in both of those, though Kamala was still able to barely win in the Shapiro timeline. Obviously Trump won in the Biden timeline.

If Kamala wins, then why is your timeline so bad?

Shapiro being chosen was the turning point. It signalled that rather than taking the opportunity to pivot harder into a pro working class platform the Democrats were content with coasting by on barely being better than Trump. When the Kamala/Shapiro ticket won the general election they took that as a sign that being barely better than Trump was working fine for them. When May 1, 2028 came around the government didn't do a harsh crackdown of Shawn Fain's general strike like they did in the Biden timeline but they also didn't do anything to support the workers and it ended up being only a moderate success. By the time Kamala was reelected in 2028 the party had completed the process of backing out of the small but solid steps Biden had made for worker's rights and returned to the Democratic party of the pre-Trump era.

Still better  than the Biden timeline but the whole point of this story is that "better than the worst possible outcome" is not good enough.

I knew you would be okay with me coming here because it's a majority white timeline.

I am okay with white female refugees between the ages of 18 and 24. This is why I support the war in Ukraine
