The republicans think the democrats picked Walz to appeal to rural voters?
If that’s the case then why are all my city friends the most genuinely excited they have been about a democratic politician since two weeks after Obama’s inauguration in 2009?
Pictures of Walz holding pigs, fixing cars, or coaching football aside, democrats picked him because he actually does what they’ve been telling their base they stand for.
It’s like Walz read the marketing material for the Democratic Party and then skipped the private meetings before getting to work. And that is what has my friends excited - that he’s doing something other than bloviating while circling the drain of irrelevance.

Because we don’t discriminate against people on the basis of where they’re from, and do our best to judge people on their merits, and Walz is quite meritorious?
Well, of course. I think it’s a bit odd they’re characterizing it that way. Rural/Urban is not a delineation I would have thought of in terms of support for his politics.
I often feel what’s unsaid is also as important as what’s said - in this case I take it to be an implication that urban folks aren’t as interested in his brand of progressivism. My comment about city friends was to contradict McConnell’s statement, rather than to reinforce any notion of division based on geography.

Used “bloviate” in a sentence.
I’m a Hufflepuff!
Fine! Ten points to Gryffindor AND ten points to Slytherin. I’m nothing if not magnanimous
