Kelly over Shapiro for me, but I’d prefer AOC for the lulz and the win.

    I’m from PA, and I’ve followed Shapiro’s career for a bit. He’s OK. A bit bland, maybe? Like I don’t think he has the energy rally a following for a national campaign on his own. Almost like Klobuchar in that respect. Then again, PA is a fairly good cross section of the US population in terms of demographic disparity, so he’s doing something right. He’s also a bit more moderate than I would like, but he’s not Trump or Vance, so I would absolutely vote for him.

    Kelly I don’t know anything about him other than his resume. I’ve never seen him speak, and I don’t know where he stands on issues, but I would vote for him because he’s not Trump or Vance.

      I don’t know much about Mark Kelly but if he’s anything like his twin brother Scott he’s likely highly empathetic and environmentally conscious at the very least. I’ve read Scott’s book and from what I understand no one comes back from the ISS without an insane sense of the fragility of our planet and unity of humanity.

        Lol I don’t even know his name. Thanks! I’ll check out his book.

        Edit: I thought you were joking, but Mark is his name, and he does have a twin named Scott who is also an astronaut. Crazy!

          His book is awesome of you’re interested in space at all. It’s called Endurance and is mostly about him being on the ISS continuously for a year to study the effects on the human body. Mark, as Scott’s twin, was used as a control.
