Who Will Be America's Next Vice President?
A Reality Show For The Ages
Let's face it, America has devolved into one long-ass reality show. Between The Apprentice, America's Next Top Model, the Real Housewives of Fill in the Blank, not to mention Love Island, Big Brother, Survivor, The Voice, heck even RuPaul's Drag Race, our obsession with everyday people and their plight to become somebody has ultimately destroyed much of our culture (or the lack there of), and has negatively impacted the film industry for sure.
Maybe it’s not this one thing which has destroyed the minds of Americans. The notion of binging the Real Housewives of Anywhere is enough of a sign that people sadly have a voracious appetite for manufactured nonsense versus the apathy for honest, emotional, thought-provoking storytelling, which has been greatly diminished.
Next up, is perhaps the most exciting reality show, Who will be America's Next Vice President. It surely won’t or can’t be J.D. Vance. The palpable excitement of Kamala Harris’ ascension to the throne—not the Iron One— is giving many of us a fresh sense of hope, pride, change, and optimism. As for the seething Republicans, well, I can smell their dread from here.
You don't need me to list the obvious choices that are on every bloviator’s short list.
[SIDEBAR] Bloviators are an extension of the reality show shit show that litters the airwaves. They have replaced what we used to revere—the news. May it rest in peace.
Hour by hour, the know-it-alls are jockeying with their opinions as to who Kamala Harris will crown—I mean—select for that important job of helping her secure the presidency. This is actually more exiting than House of Dragon Season 2, I’m afraid.
In my heart, I hope it's Josh Shapiro. In my mind it will be Andy Beshear. Listening to the bloviators this morning and their fears for Kamala picking a Jew, especially because her husband Doug Emhoff is “one” made me sad. They are saying it out of fear. Didn’t one of our best presidents, Franklin Delano Roosevelt say, “There is nothing to fear, but fear itself.” Does that not stand anymore because we see ugly, Hamas-loving, motherfuckers slithering like snakes through our city streets? Fear not the enemy. If anything, cut them off at the head. It is the best way to kill a snake, right?
Look, nothing is a slam dunk and Kamala’s choice of VP might not be the reason she wins or doesn’t. We are dealing with a criminal enterprise—the GOP, who are already threatening Civil War if they lose. So, either way, if Kamala picks a Jew, there will be violence, so what the heck. It makes for the prospects of an exciting Madame Kamala, Season 1, one way or another.
In my opinion, Josh is the best candidate for the job, not that Andy isn’t. I would love to see the defiance by Kamala and Doug to the haters by the selection of Josh. I’d enjoy knowing how much it’s pissing off the antisemites who should ALL have the same ending that my grandparents had in the Holocaust.
