Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz embodies everything liberal women see in their own fathers – except for their political views. For some, it makes them hopeful but also very sad.
He’s got jokes, enthusiasm and a smiley face that’s not even remotely trying to hide how he’s feeling. He’s Tim Walz- and he’s bringing major Midwestern dad energy to the Democratic ticket.
At least that’s how many white women feel when they see Walz in videos, riding the Slingshot at the state fair with his daughter, signing legislation to give kids in Minnesota free lunches or tweeting about his pet cat.
It’s in stark contrast to what some see in their own fathers - who often have more conservative political views.
“He is silly. My dad used to be very, very silly and goofy,” Pamela Wurst Vetrini, a woman who recently compared Walz to her father, said in a viral TikTok video.
…
“A lot of us had moderate to conservative, educated, sensible fathers that we lost to Rush Limbaugh. That we lost to Fox News. That we lost to Donald Trump. And the cult of conservatism that has grown and grown and grown has driven a wedge between millennial woman and her father,” she said.
Who’s shocked?
I AM shocked. The cropping of this screenshot is terrible.
Lol yeah dismiss facts because you didnt like the instance I have a second account on.
also lol keep lapping up the dem propaganda unquestioningly
Hexbear hypocrite hating on some guy who provides tampons to trans people.
If he won’t stand up against the genocide his party supports and calls the national freaking guard on BLM protestors, a move so fashist it impressed even Trump:

then I don’t know how hating on him makes me a hypocrite.
LOL an opinion article from Haaretz about American politics.
And, of course, you’ll be fine denouncing that paper when it supports genocide as being completely unreliable as a source.
But when it agrees with you…
You have no idea that the context of citations matters do you?
a) it’s an opinion article, I’m not linking it because of factual reporting, which indeed the Haaretz is unreliable on.
b) the point is that the Haaretz, which is trying to whitewash the genocide, is cool with Walz.
I would also cite far-right american newspapers if I wanted to showcase how the far-right likes someone and approves of their “silence”.
Cool. Show us how the far-right in America really likes Tim Walz then (one single positive comment about an event that happened years ago is not enough to show that they like someone, sorry). Especially considering they were all pissed off Harris didn’t pick Shapiro.
Why? For what point? Can you only be critical of people the far-right endorses or are you just trying to move the goal posts?
For your point. The one you just made and I replied to. You do read your own posts, right?
I don’t like the instance you’re on because it’s full of assholes and you’re not exactly making it easy for me to change that opinion.
It doesn’t matter what justification you use to keep burying your head in the sand, you’re still blinding yourself in a desperate attempt to safeguard some hope about the upcoming election no matter how false it may be.
In the midst of your righteous anger, you might have missed the point that I wasn’t talking about Tim Walz.
No, you keep trying to deflect from his shitty record to me having a second account on hexbear. I just keep trying to have you take an actual look at the guy and not just blindly cheerlead whoever the dems put in front of you.
I am not a moderator in this community. Believe it or not, I am not able to shut you up or shut you down. You can post a response criticizing Walz in reply to every person on this thread and there would be nothing I could do about it.
Gotta love how people on Lemmy claim you’re trying to silence them.
If you’re worried about people deflecting from your claims, maybe your claims aren’t very good and you should find some claims that people can’t deflect.
???
what are you even trying to say? Is it just word salad to get the last post in? Just DM me, you can have it.
Since you seem to have forgotten your own post, I’ll help you out:
I can’t deflect from anything you write. However, you are the one who has decided you don’t need to talk about Walz anymore and just bicker with me instead. I didn’t force you to do that. I can’t even force you to reply.
