For those of us who have had a front row seat to some of Walz’s machinations and political decision-making in Minnesota for the past several years, reconciling the current media narrative around Walz with what we’ve seen with our own eyes has been disorienting.
Tim Walz originally decided to run for office as a Democrat after being denied entry to a George W. Bush rally in 2004. He flipped a longtime red Congressional District in 2006, and then proceeded to be one of the most conservative Democrats in the U.S. Congress, ironically aligning himself with many of the Bush Administration policies. He had an ‘A’ rating from the NRA, voted for the Keystone XL tar sands oil pipeline, supported the big agriculture industry, and was obviously pro-military after serving in the Minnesota National Guard for 24 years.
Ozma, bruh. You really need to pick and choose to have an actual discussion. All you’re doing is bringing minor gripes to a larger discussion. We have an existential crisis in this election, but there just isn’t enough time in the day for any candidates to cover EVERY FUCKING THING conceivable to get whatever your vote looks like.
Shit is fucked up. People are trying to fix it. They’re also trying to defeat a tyrant who aims to run rampage on the country as a whole. Baby steps.
wonder what tyrant will be propped up next so the Democrats will again have to be voted in to stop it
and what are the Democrats focusing on? just Trump/fascist tyrants?
You act like Trump has happened in every election cycle since the start of the country. Fuck off with your bad faith bullshit.
Tell us you haven’t bothered to read anything without telling us. There’s answers to those questions, if you’d bother to look. Like, at all.
Still vote Dem but stop pretending Harris and Walz are saints. You can still be informed about their records.
No one thinks they are saints. Give us a minute to celebrate having a non-geriatric candidate with a vp pick that isn’t an incel, abuser, robot, or anti-lgbt closeted homosexual.
This. This all day. Like, read the fucking room.
It’s like showing up to somebody’s childhood birthday party and going, “Great party. It’s a shame your parents are getting a divorce.” We have all had to survive four years of Trump followed by a geriatric president people were lukewarm about and also more Trump.
I think it’s okay to have some excitement, as a treat.
