    "Tim Walz I know very well. He served in the House. To characterize him as ‘left’ is so unreal. Really, it’s mystifying to me to see someone that I worked with — shall we say right down the middle — characterized on the left in this regard.”

    ~ Nancy Pelosi

      Sanders and progressives also endorsed him ahead of the picks, mind you…

      He was moderate in the House and far more progressive as Governor. Hence why both groups like him.

        Manchin endorsed him too. So what are we to make of that?

          That he’s a uniter in the party. He was somewhat moderate as a House Rep but routinely worked with progressives who loved him, but then proved himself to fight for progressive policies as Governor.

          So look at his record as Governor. AOC endorsed him, too, what so we make of that? You’re making a big deal about nothing.

            9 out of 10 Americans don’t really give a shit who endorsed him until you tell them he’s a radical and the socialists love him. And, he isn’t.

              Ok? Nobody here said he was socialist. You were arguing against the notion that he is center-left, which he is. Progressives and moderates both relate to him. Hence… Center-left.

                Just wait, they will. AOC and Machin endorsed. I’d say that is the entire spectrum. So, whatever makes you feel warm and fuzzy.

        I would think she knows him a lot better than a guy on Lemmy, Agreed?

          They didn’t say they knew him better than Pelosi. Merely that Pelosi is a beacon of honesty.

          Isn’t she the most successful investor of all time, like more successful that people who do it for a career.

            You have a problem with Pelosi? The man has helped a lot of com0anies in the silicone valley. I find it amazing that you have a problem with the most successful speaker…

              I do have a problem with Pelosi and her insider trading, yes. I think we should hold our representatives to a higher standard, even if they’re on our side.

                Her husband makes millions by investing venture capital. She really doesn’t need Insider trading. But, spread the nonsense, I really don’t care.

                  You realize that his win/loss record is better than Buffet’s right? He only makes millions because of the hit tips and insider trading coming from her role in congress.

                    Hell you say. The first trillion dollar business.will emerge from silicon Valley within the next few years. There are a lot of people there that take higher risk to get higher reward than Buffet.

      You’re quoting Pelosi who is possibly the most corrupt democrat in office?

          You have to be joking. You can’t honestly be defending Pelosi who’s main claim to fame is insider trading and playing weekend at bernies with Diane Feinstein.

            You’ve got to be joking if you think I would take some guy on Lemmy more seriously.
