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

Leftists even project projection. There’s not an original thought in your head.

You're the one who refused to clarify your own rhetorical nonsense bud. By all means, keep posting in circles, though.

 

[terrapin]

Yours in particular? I assume drug use, pro-wrestling, and trolling online while your parents worry about you.

he is a legit boxing coach man.......

Tim waltz is not a far left nutjob, if he were he wouldn’t have won by such a significant margin in Minnesota. And of course you think that, you’re a hardcore republican . And it’s funny when you call democrats far left nut jobs when they’ve won the last four presidential elections by 25 million votes cumulatively…..

He ran as a moderate then leaned to the left hardcore.
It appears he is further left then Harris which is saying something

Where’s the circle? I posted that you voted for authoritarians that hate your way of life, meaning the American way of life in general and the (presumably, and only barely, I’m sure) straight male way life in particular, then when you pretended to have your head in the sand, I insulted you. That’s of a circle and more just a line.

Not the worst pick as far as his demographics but in my opinion it was a lost opportunity in not picking a damn astronaut.

My criteria was "Caucasian, cis, straight, Christian, male, moderate, no serious background issues"

This list seems terrible however the point is this is not about me but about the average swing voters some of whom are distrustful and uneasy about two women ticket, Jewish candidate, gay candidate, etc.

My top pick was Mark Kelly. My second pick was Andy Bashear.

I am a fan of Pete B. and other candidates are solid options like Shapiro or Whitmer but I am afraid that they'd sink the ticket. Last time around there were people openly saying they wanted to change their vote when they found out Pete B. was gay and married to a man.

Walz is an alright option but he also looks old relative to his age. Compare Walz with UK prime minister who's a year older. It's tough to prod Trump about his age when Democratic VP doesn't look much younger despite being almost two decades younger. Optics are huge.

It isn't swing voters they were worried about with a gay or Jewish candidate, it's the far left who would show up to the DNC with protest signs screaming "free Palestine", and it's minorities that wouldn't show up for a gay candidate.

I dont define Zionist like that. That's a very generous definition of the term considering its inception.

Well to be clear I consider myself anti-Zionist and so I reject even that generous conception of Zionism but that puts me in a relatively small minority within US politics so I'll take what I can get which generally means favoring liberal Zionists over illiberal ones.

From what I read on his policies and legislation I think he's a decent choice for the democrats, although that doesn't mean much in terms of bringing out voters.

That's understandable.

They seem like a nice pair



As governor, Walz signed a bill allowing illegal migrants to get driver’s licenses, and gave more than 55,000 formerly incarcerated people the ability to vote again. He also signed legislation legalizing recreational marijuana, tightening gun laws, making abortion a “fundamental right,” and preserving legal transgender medical interventions for children.

Walz was governor when the violent George Floyd riots swept Minneapolis. The riots resulted in at least two deaths, more than 600 arrests, and more than $500 million in property damage to hundreds of businesses. Afterward, the city’s police force hemorrhaged officers.

Lmao y'all are really out here melting down over period supplies and a flag design. Waltz was clearly the right choice. You terminally online weirdos need to go outside and touch some grass, find some shit that people actually care about. Maybe his DUI from 29 years ago would work?

Indeed.
Walz was all in for the BLM riots, but somehow January 6th at the Capitol was a bad thing. I wonder why?

None of them think there's such thing as far left, because of course they are far left themselves and use themselves as the reference point.

Out of Mark Kelly, Josh Shapiro, and Tim Walz, which of them do you think they would not say was a great pick? It's funny watching them claim that a guy who called himself socialist like a week ago, was a BLM/defund the police guy, a strict lockdown governor, made it a sanctuary state for illegals and for child trans surgery and put a tampon dispenser in 4th grade boys bathrooms and has no restriction on late term abortions is somehow a centrist who appeals to moderates.


The Democratic Socialists of America seem to think he's pretty damn left wing.

“Harris choosing Walz as a running mate has shown the world that DSA and our allies on the left are a force that cannot be ignored. Through collective action, DSA and the US left more broadly have made it clear that change is needed. DSA members organized in our workplaces and unions to realign the labor movement to support Palestinian liberation.”

One was protesting police brutality the other was because Trump couldn’t admit he lost.
