Summary
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has criticized the Harris-Walz 2024 presidential campaign for playing it too “safe,” saying they should have held more in-person events and town halls.
In a Politico interview, Walz—known for labeling Trump and Vance as “weird”—blamed their cautious approach partly on the abbreviated 107-day campaign timeline after Harris became the nominee in August.
Using football terminology, he said Democrats were in a “prevent defense” when “we never had anything to lose, because I don’t think we were ever ahead.”
While acknowledging his share of responsibility for the loss, Walz is returning to the national spotlight and didn’t rule out a 2028 presidential run, saying, “I’m not saying no.”
its way more simple than this, america is not ready to elect a woman–let alone a brown woman, to lead the country.
she was up against a felon, who vowed to ban an entire religion his first go. it should have been a layup but our citizenry is full of sexists. the amount of failures trump has is insurmountable. but no. cant have a woman leading. ‘too emotional.’
This is a cope from DNC since Hillary. Americans are more accepting than they are actually given credit for. Many Republican voters actually even appreciate Alexandria Ocasio Cortez’s anti-oligarchy run she is doing at the moment.
As an outsider looking at American politics, Harris and the DNC just isn’t willing to actually get to the bones of what actually matters more for Americans. Harris’ election promises aren’t appealing in the face of growing inequality as people can’t afford medical bills, student loans, and are living pay check to pay check. The DNC and its centrist/blue MAGA supporters still read 2000s pre-recession surveys when Medicare for all, affordable housing and abolition of student fees and debts were unpopular. Fact of the matter is, those policies are now accepted and popular for years as the middle class has shrunk by the years since the 2009 recession. The DNC and its supporters simply deliberately ignore it.
our first half white president was called our first black president. this country has deeply moronic citizenry. I would call it a cope that its the DNC’s fault for not ‘exciting them enough’ to elect a literal rapist over a woman.
its not as complicated as you think.
Obama had solid policies and in touch with everyday folks. Obama has charisma and implemented needed reforms acceptable for the time. Both Harris and Clinton are seen as part of the establishment with weak policies.
I would have voted for Harris if I am an American simply because he is not Trump, but one has to admit that Harris’ policies had been weak. She also did not have a coherent message, simply because she was a last minute replacement for Biden. She was simply mirroring Biden. That said, Harris ran on the platform of status quo while Americans have been looking for change.
he also had a penis! something both hillarry and kamala were lacking.
but oh gee whiz so weird how suddenly charismatic and normal DNC is to blame to losing to a felon rapist. how did that happen such a mystery
If you are not getting what I am getting at…
*insert Principal Skinner musing meme…
DNC: Am I not running on popular economic policies that would help alleviate the woes of young people deep in student debt; families living pay check to pay check; people saddled with hospital bills, and that’s why we lost?
No, the electorate is misogynist. Latino and black voters are race traitors for voting Trump. And the white working class in Rust belt are hillbilly hicks who don’t know what is better. And now let me look at my stocks if following Nancy Pelosi’s portfolio is the right decision.
the dnc has never run on that. not in a long time. they are moderates, literally almost conservative.
this is known.
it was because it was a woman. I repeat. america is too immature to be lead by a woman.
Yes I noticed. you just wrote essentially the same comment 5 times.
