Walz should just start running for president now. Become an instant symbol for people to rally around.
Trump started his 2024 campaign immediately after the 2020 election’s inauguration. If Trump can start campaigning 4 years in advance, so can Walz.
The purpose of presidential candidates need not be simply a candidate for the office. They can be a president-in-waiting. They can continuously rally the base. They can provide someone on the side of the opposition with a giant megaphone in the media. Trump benefited from all these things in the 2020-2024 period. He was the president-in-waiting, the presumptive nominee. This could be one individual, or it could be 3 or 4 leading candidates. But if we had some declared primary candidates running around shouting the message now, that could really help things.
Not to mention, campaigning for president makes you legally untouchable, no matter how many laws you’ve broken!
it’s also a solid propaganda campaign since part of our current problem is that we, the sane, don’t have presence of messaging in the deep red places. the dems have for years given up on those votes, allowing polarization to take its grip and slowly strangle us. obama won with a 50 state strategy because that’s what it actually takes to win
I agree that having a shadow president+cabinet would be a smart idea from the Dems to drive home the contrast with the GOP.
I had a similar thought as soon as I saw the headline. He needs to keep his name in people’s ears for the next few years if he wants a shot in '28 (assuming we’re still doing elections at all by then). He was everyone’s favorite thing about the Harris campaign and was absolutely crushing it before their campaign advisors told them to stop pressing the weird and couchfucker stuff. I hope whoever is in charge of his PR recognizes that and just let’s him be himself. I hate to have to say this but he’s also a white man so voting for him might not be a hard no from some of the disenfranchised former Trump supporters after four years of getting fucked over repeatedly.
I don’t want Walz anywhere fucking near a presidential run. He’s associated with the highest stakes loss in world history. And part of the reason why is because the biggest thing he had going for him is that he seemed awfully similar to a middle-aged dad. I’m not on board with that experiment again. Harris and Walz had one shot at it and they blew it. Sucks, but that’s life. It will need to be someone completely disassociated from Harris-Walz and the current democratic party elites.
Walz was the best part of that ticket, up until they muzzled him. He was surprisingly popular across party lines, I don’t see anyone else who accomplishes that. The campaign failed despite him, not because of him. I don’t agree with anyone saying he’s a bad pick because the Harris campaign was a failure. He’d be an excellent, effective choice.
He sucked ass in the debate and completely sane washed the unhinged shit Vance was spewing next to him. He even said himself before the debate that he sucks at debating and then proved his prediction correct.
Reminds me of this article I read yesterday:
Adopt a Red State: How Democrats Can Expose Republican Cowards
Glad to see Tim Walz is taking this approach.
It’s also the same article I posted and shared yesterday
Good. Pussies.
Pussies are tough and can take a pounding and handle childbirth.
These guys are tender little scrotes
They are uvulas, they make you gag and throw up.
But that’s where the pee is stored, won’t anyone think of the pee
Uh, no?
fr, everyone knows that pee is stored in the balls
balls is in scrotes though, so pee is in balls in scrotes, ya know? ted talk i love you brawndo
They’re all cowards afraid to face the reality that their leader hides from them
i like how the paid trouble makers only show up after the election.
