Look how afraid the Trumpers are. Look at all the copying and pasting of tweets from people that no one has ever heard of. They are in full panic mode. Walz was clearly a great selection.
OMG I'm sooooo shocked that ATW, and Commodore are spamming us with propaganda about Tim Walz. Yesterday I called it that whoever it is, they'll play this game that "OMG this is the worst pick ever by the Democrats. They are so stupid, quack quack quack". And like clockwork here we go. The fact is Tim Walz is a governor. Attacking him over what's happening in Israel is just nonsense. The only people that you are going to move on Walz are the people who are already in the cult. Your propaganda cannon isn't going to work on this guy who seems like the most salt of the earth good dude you could possibly find in politics. Also the George Floyd attack is weird. Bringing up George Floyd just reminds people of how racist Trump is. Not one swing voter will believe that this guy was responsible for burning trash cans at Berkley.
In reality (right wing propaganda aside) this guy just seems like a good dude. That'll go a long way with swing voters as simple as it is.
First time since 1980 that the Democratic party hasn't nominated a lawyer somewhere on the ticket*. *Al Gore was not a lawyer, but dropped out of law school
So this is what you woke clowns in here are exciting about? Dumb and Dumber part deux? You will lose and lose badly in November, America is already giving you the middle finger to your far left woke crap. You guys have a dumb cackling hyena who cannot complete a sentence on her own as your Main Event. Now you have basically a Hamas supporter and a let the criminals who burned down your cities go free as your VP? Good luck in November!
Kamala was the top lawyer in CA (Attorney General of California 2011–17).... Been tuned out of politics for several weeks, who is this guy? From this X he sounds pretty good for MIN, but will he bring votes or is it another pick like 2016 Tim Kaine?
Sorry, I said that inelegantly. My point is that Walz is the first person on the Democratic ticket since 1980 to not have some type of legal experience or training.
Very progressive ticket. This should appeal to a lot of voters. It seemed that Shapiro was a good choice as well. One would wonder if there was a better choice outside of a swing state.
I realize now how mealy-mouthed I was with that statement. I hope I clarified in a follow-up. I think it's a good thing to have people with diverse professional experience in our executive branch instead of only electing lawyers.
For those who would rather look at legislative ratings than partisan tweets, here is Walz's scorecard from his time the House: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/timothy_walz/412214?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email Middle of the road Democrat who wants to make sure kids are fed and workers are proctected. Also note that the first listed "key vote" directly contradicts the Charlie Kirk lies about abortion spread above.
Shapiro would have been a better choice if Pennsylvania was the only priority. But, I think Walz is the better choice for every other state. The Dems won in 2020 with very narrow margins in many states. Walz should help in most of those states, especially the strong labor union states. Pennsylvania is close to a must win, but so are a number of other states.
MN Governor and former member of the House from a very small town who repeatedly won re-election from a red district including 2010 and 2016 when Dems got wiped out…served 24 years in the National Guard achieving the rank of Command Sergeant Major…was also a high school teacher and football coach who coached his team to their 1st ever state championship he can speak to rural and working class people, and he further galvanizes and energizes the Democratic base…as far as we know, he also has far less baggage than someone like Shapiro I hardly knew who Tim Kaine was back in 2016 and still know pretty much nothing about him so I can’t speak on that aspect
Yeah I'm sure you would have been SOOOO complementary today if Kamala picked Shapiro. Please answer this one question? No offense, but why would anyone care about what you think about a Democrat?? Like seriously... what's the point of listening to a word you have to say on a topic like this??
