    Walz has also responded to criticisms that he may be viewed as too liberal.

    “What a monster!” Walz quipped on CNN. “Kids are eating and having full bellies so they can go learn and women are making their own healthcare decisions … So, if that’s where they want to label me, I’m more than happy to take the label.”

    This is 100% how it should be handled.

    Deflect the bullshit and pivot right back to the issues.

    Too many Dems instead try to convince people they’re not progressive. We need to keep it on issues instead.

    Voters agree with progressive policy, they’re just brainwashed to hate anything labeled “progressive”.

      Exactly. And Waltz has an excelent track record for deflecting bullshit. I can’t wait to see him in this new role. I’m just sad that we need to find a replacement governor in MN.

        I want MN to do some proper nominations, but Peggy Flanagan will be just as good for our state in the meantime until 2026

          Exactly. She’ll be great. I just don’t think she can win an election unless she really blows it out of the park before then.
