Elections Kamala Harris picks Minnesota governor Tim Walz as VP running mate

[Rob Battisti]

I think Democrats may have just hit the jackpot with Waltz. I see independents flocking to the ticket.

You think independents will flock because of a progressive?

 

[king hippo]

Also, when had Walz supported open borders ?

is this tim walz?

 

[Darkballs]

Sounds like the republican strategy is to go full trans panic mode.

Good luck with that guys.

 

[Jack V Savage]

I guess so. I don't think people should be minority partners in their own finances and should be able to raise their own kids, and the government should enforce the border, while you think it takes a "very very big government" to not sexually mutilate kids.



Even democrats are calling this an early Christmas gift for Trump. Heels up Harris is gonna have to go back to turning tricks in Oakland.

This is the face of the modern GOP hack--a small, hateful, confused, uneducated man freaking out that the world is leaving him behind.

How many women do you think have an abortion, simply because they wanted to wait, right before birth ??

Does it matter? Why is it legal?

Transing kids? Your brain is broken. No one is running on "transing kids" despite what libsoftiktok or whatever other right wing outrage porn you consume on a daily basis says.

He's running on his record which includes:

-free lunches for school kids
-legalized weed
-paid family leave
-protecting a woman's right to choose
-the right for parents and doctors to make medical decisions without some right wing politician's telling them what to do.

Again, if that's the best you've got? You're fucked.

Yeah, it is very strange the idea that the Democrats are running on gender affirming care for minors. I mean if conservatives wanted to do the brain worm like they secretly are snatching your children and transing them I get it, it's the kind of paranoid bigotry that is the backbone of the party now but to say Dems are running on it is especially detached from reality. Not a single word in that rally was about trans people let alone trans kids.

Referring to Walz as a Progressive, as a leftist, as a Socialist Commie, none of this is going to stick for the GOP because he is BELOVED in the Heartland by anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together. When he was a Representative he won over a very conservative district, and there are too many pictures and videos of him just being wholesome. Even him having a DUI in the 90's vibes with rural folk, because who hasn't ever drank a beer or 3 on the way home?

And even if anything DID stick, he is very good rhetorically and is aggressively so. He's not going to just play nice as the opposition insults him.

We’re screwed either way but we’re more screwed if Harris/Walz get in office

My brother:

He signed a no limit abortion law
Signed child transition laws
Signed illegal alien driver license laws
Allowed for the burning of his cities during BLM
Wants more illegal immigration

That’s not progressive?

It's kind of amazing to see the media literacy on display here. Walz in that clip is saying walls aren't effective for keeping people from crossing, thus he would invest in a ladder company because sales would be so high from people buying them to cross the border. He goes on to say "that's not how you stop this you stop this using electronics, you stop it using more border control agents". Ironically in that clip he is arguing he would be better at stopping illegal crossing than Trump not that he would allow them.

Which "medical decisions" are you talking about, and "right to choose" what? Oh right, the "decision" to trans kids and late term abortions, and to ban therapy and take your kids away if you make the wrong "decision" to not cut off kids' junk.

Awesome, he's running on drugs, late term abortions, and transing kids, and signing up for the military and dropping out when he found out he was getting deployed, and faking a disability when he got black out drunk and started bombing down the street at 95 mph.

This pick is going to be hilarious.

Tim Walz: "A wall is a dumb idea to stop the border crisis."

Stupid Nintendo: "TiM wAlZ iS fOr OpEn BoRdErS!!11"

 

[BFoe]

is this tim walz?

He didn’t say a single thing about helping people to cross illegally.
He pointed out one—just one of many—flaws with the stupid wall idea.

You still voting for sharp as a tack Biden?

Is there something wrong with you ? How’s he running on drugs, late term abortions and transing kids ?

So, I've been back and forward. I really like Walz, but if I was Harris, I don't know if I could have passed up the PA Governor.

I do respect her decision though, because she is going big and gambling on making the campaign about messaging, about winning hearts and minds, rather than about electoral math.

Put it this way: it's the opposite of the pick Hillary Clinton would have made.

Another thing that first gave me pause was the attacks of Walz for being too progressive. But the more I think about that, the less it worries me. It's not that it is an ineffective attack, it's that it was inevitable. In 2020 the GOP attacked Joe Biden (Senator from Mastercard) as a RADICAL MARXIST. Anybody-- including Mark Kelly-- would have been smeared as a radical progressive. So, ok, let's have that fight. Let's fight about what that means. Let's fight about abortion rights, and school lunches, and rent caps, and affordable housing, and child tax credits.

This is as close as we are going to get to the mythical 2016 Bernie vs. Trump election.

Plus Kamala is fine as hell for her age, so the GOP isn't going to be able to make her into the frigid hell bitch they did with Hillary.

Best they've got is blow job queen.

But blow job's are (*checks polls) apparently quite popular. So... fuck it.

Let's go. Balls to the Walz.

Well first of all a lot of that is nonsense.

Second of all, no that's not even "progressive."

3rd of all, it's just not going to stick.

Serious question, did you transition and do you now regret doing so? You seem obsessed with this

Dunno, take it up with this guy...
