As Vice President Kamala Harris continues to search for her 2024 running mate, one potential candidate getting some buzz is Minnesota's Tim Walz.

    Walz has also responded to criticisms that he may be viewed as too liberal.

    “What a monster!” Walz quipped on CNN. “Kids are eating and having full bellies so they can go learn and women are making their own healthcare decisions … So, if that’s where they want to label me, I’m more than happy to take the label.”

    This is 100% how it should be handled.

    Deflect the bullshit and pivot right back to the issues.

    Too many Dems instead try to convince people they’re not progressive. We need to keep it on issues instead.

    Voters agree with progressive policy, they’re just brainwashed to hate anything labeled “progressive”.

      Exactly. And Waltz has an excelent track record for deflecting bullshit. I can’t wait to see him in this new role. I’m just sad that we need to find a replacement governor in MN.

        I want MN to do some proper nominations, but Peggy Flanagan will be just as good for our state in the meantime until 2026

          Exactly. She’ll be great. I just don’t think she can win an election unless she really blows it out of the park before then.

      I do love a good meme but McMahon is a rapist who regularly puts his employees in mortal danger with little safety.

        Ugh. yeah, the standard template for this one is just low res. lemme see if I can remake it.

        edit: doubled the resolution, not sure if it helped.

        Might be time to try a different client then. No issues zooming on Connect, for what it’s worth.

      The Atlantic reported that in private conversations, Mr. Trump had said: “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers,” and called the soldiers buried there “suckers” for being killed.

    Before he died, my grandpa was a lifelong Eisenhower Republican. When he served as State Commander for the VFW, he got to meet Walz while Walz was campaigning for the legislature. From that point on, my grandpa supported Walz all the way to Governor. I don’t believe we need to “reach across”, we need people like Walz to convince them to come across themselves.

      Knew absolutely nothing about this guy before today. What a boss.

      “Turkey is meat”. “Not in Minnesota, turkey is special”. 🤣
