      Honestly, the official merch hat of Harris Walz kinda speaks infinite volumes.

        I want a shirt that says “Putting the ope in hope.”

        I might not be getting it, but why does a theme of trees/nature specifically counter the MAGA hat like that?

            I was born in the Midwest and I’ve lived in a few different places around the country, mostly variations on the south. But I’m also a progressive that has lived amongst redhats a lot. I think one of the most disarming things to say to them is some polite version of “mind your own business.”

            Pretty much everyone will agree they don’t want the government butting into their personal lives and framing things in that way is a good way to find common ground.

          Because the right has co-opted the camo look as well as hunting. Tim Walz is was literally the best shot in congress.

          Edit: clarity for past and present so people don’t misunderstand

              Who was in Congress when the shooting contest I’m talking about happened.

              What’s wrong with you? Do you think he just fell out of the coconut tree? He exists in the context of all that came before his current position.

                Nothing’s wrong with me, your statement implied currently. He is not currently in congress and that contest took place in 2015. Use clearer language if you don’t want people to correct you.

                  He still is the best shot in congress. Even if he isn’t current in Congress, he can still presently be the current best shot of any current or former Congress person.

                  Pedantry sure is fun.

                    Words have meaning, you can’t be the best IN something if you’re not IN it, and have all current congress members been tested against him? If not you can’t make that claim. “Was” is correct and I’m not even positive on that because the only source I can find about this is a WSJ blurb that says the contest was “among democrats”. So if that’s the case what you should have said was “Tim Walz WAS the best shot amongst democrats in 2015”. You wouldn’t say Muhammad Ali IS the world heavyweight champion.

                    It’s a stupid thing to care about anyway because he’s adamantly pro gun control now. You’re not going to win over any gun people with this narrative of yours. There are plenty of better things about him to focus on.
