In the days ahead, various instant experts on social media will second-guess Kamala Harris’s decision to pick Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate and fume that she didn’t choose Josh Shapiro. They’ll say that she blew the chance to lock down swing-state Pennsylvania, and that she caved to the lefty agitators who’ve denounced Shapiro’s criticisms of pro-Palestinian protesters.

Fine.

The time for grousing is now. Then it will behoove everyone to pull together, with all deliberate speed, and stick a fork in the fascist felon once and for all.

The first rule, when choosing a veep, is “Do No Harm.” Fairly or not, Shapiro had baggage. With the clock already ticking toward November, the Harris campaign didn’t want to spend precious energy on defense, defending him against the mud (“Genocide Josh,” etcetera) that’s been hurled his way. This is the time for forward action, not distraction. Shapiro will be stumping for the ticket non-stop anyway.
