people on the east coast were commuting when it started (I wfh), and the rest of the country are probably still working . What time was Trump's rally.

Walz's "that is if he's willing to get off the couch... you see what I did there?" line was gold. He may have remarkable appeal to the youngins.

Full blown. It's all trans in bathrooms and George Floyd/riots! That's all they got. Wait until they start hearing him speak! This is going to be delicious.

The riots and overall breakdown of law and order in our cities is where the Democrats are most vulnerable. Expect to hear about Kamala’s San Francisco and Tim’s Minneapolis nonstop for the next three months.

Did January 6th not happen? I don't understand how GOP are so concerned about some riots and not others. It's weird.

Bingo

All riots should be equally disdained regardless of the issue behind it because more often than not it's some nut job extremist thugs who don't actually care about the issue behind it....but as such should also be equally prosecuted and equally thought of as wrong regardless of the issue. It's never ok to destroy property regardless of the issue or topic period.

I agree. I read an article about The riots in MN and poor reaction time. Walz was very honest about it all and how it was not handled well. Now contrast that with Trump who still thinks January 6th was a good thing.

True - but I also know many Dems who think the BLM riots were a good thing too.

Dems supported the peaceful protests and criticized where the looting and property damage took place.

Well I'll rephrase,"I have personally spoken to more than one Dem who feels the looting and property damage was justified". But we are going off-topic now. Back to Tim Walz....honestly...I don't care how he reacted to the BLM riots because it was an extremely difficult time. I also don't care about anything he did or didn't do 20 yrs ago. I do care about his political views and social ideology which are too progressive for my taste. Not saying it's going to make me vote for Trump but I am now strongly considering staying home...and this is coming from someone who was pushing their DD to go out and vote because of the importance of voting - DD doesn't care to vote this year either. I can see her point of view.

What ideology do you find too progressive?

[…]
Education: In favor of reduced/free college education for the trades -- in fact...take some of the illegal immigrants who have been here for over 10-15+ yrs (because realistically you can't deport them all) and educate them in the trades. Fix our education system and stop focusing on stupid issues that don't belong in schools. Teach tolerance and respect as a two-way street. Note: I actually like how Walz has approached education in MN -- except for teaching gender ideology in schools. Many parents voice their concerns: https://cbsaustin.com/news/nation-world/minnesota-parents-clash-over-teachers-discussing-gender-identity-with-students-stay-in-your-lane-osseo-area-schools-isd-279-lgbtqia-history-and-culture-resolution-lgbt-transgender and […]

You cite a ton of right wing talking points and misrepresentations (no one takes you seriously when your argument is a strawman), but I think you should have read the article you posted before spouting off about “teaching gender ideology” and from a “news” outlet in Austin, TX owned by Sinclair. But even they were able to sneak in the fact that it’s not teaching gender ideology but respecting all students, including the ones who were being bullied for being gay. So you want gay kids to get bullied? That’s essentially what you said.

And to try to pull some grapes out of your cornucopia of misled: that was an Osseo, MN policy, not a state wide one. Good lord. You are bad at this, “independent.”

This was just one point in response to someone who asked "What ideology do you find too progressive?" And I stand by my post - this is one area that I find too progressive/liberal. But I am also pro-LGBTQ rights -- it's something the progressive/liberal left can't seem to comprehend which is so frustrating -- you can support LGBTQ rights but also disagree with certain specific issues. The all-or-nothing attitude of the left is tiresome. Just as tiresome as the all-or-nothing attitude of the right when it comes to abortion. Same thing.

DP. Well said. This is how I feel, too. So sick of the extremes.

The forgotten middle.
The middle children of the country if you will.

Well said indeed.

Well, Harris acknowledges you with this pick.

No she didn't.
I'm still likely to vote for her given I can't tolerate Trump.
But I will also likely to vote more right leaning down ballot to keep things somewhat balanced.

The Democrats have bent over backwards to be right leaning (Biden, Clinton, Kaine, Lieberman, Gore, Obama, Kerry… these are not far left people); the same is never asked of the GOP. Not ever. Voters like you never ask that the GOP move left. You should ask yourself why you don’t think they should moderate.

I have in my lifetime voted for both Democrats and Republicans.
I vote for who at the time I feel is best for the country overall, best represents the views of the country and best reflects my personal views.

I think both parties are invested in playing to the extremes and not really listening to what people actually want.

Ah, BoThSiDeS.

+1, sure. One side wants to take women back to the 1800s and taxes and regulations back to the Gilded Age. The other wants to give you affordable healthcare and freedom from gun violence.

The gilded age was BEAUTIFUL!🤩

Indeed, for straight white males especially, much like the MAGA crowd.

This. Feeling politically homeless right now. I can’t bring myself to vote for either extreme so will probably sit this one out.

I don't believe you are what you say you are. But, even if you view this as a "lesser evil" situation (it's not, Harris/Walz is a good option); but even if you viewed it as a "lesser evil" situation, the moral thing to do is to vote in a way that helps protect your friends and neighbors from the greater evil.

I will only vote for RFK, Jr. if he makes it. If not, I will write in his name.

Wow. Are you a fan of dead bears?

He was a couch. He knows how to give an uplifting and motivating speech. He's a much better speaker than Harris.

I’m the PP and truly can’t believe what I just read. You’re lecturing me on who is a “good option” here, as if I couldn’t possibly make my own decision? Then telling me what the “moral thing” to do is? Not sure if you’re aware, but your sanctimony is exactly what makes me not interested in voting for the Ds. Not a Trump voter, but definitely not a Harris voter either. Lots of us out there, but do stay safe in your echo chamber.

MAGA loser: Keep working that “Oh, why bother voting, there’s no point”-thing. Direct from Putin!

And keep lecturing people on what the “appropriate” morals are. I’m with PP. I cannot believe you have the balls to tell people the proper way to vote.
Well, maybe I can.

Only that they should vote, whatever way they choose. 450,000 American soldiers died in World War Two so that you could vote.

No. That PP was not just saying “vote,” they were explaining the moral way the other PP should vote.

Exactly.

Ironic, then, that you support a candidate that would like to do away with elections.

Glad you vote with your heart and not your head. Let us know how that works out for you.

Sometimes — often, actually — heart and head are aligned!

The fact is, to win an election, you need charisma. Just being a great person for the job usually isn't enough when people vote on first impressions.

I wish that weren't true... but it is how Trump got elected in the first place.

No, Walz was a coach. Vance was (is?) a couch-lover.

Maybe. But for this Gen X mom, I take a couple points of his performance for that aside. "You see what I did there?" He should have delivered the line totally straight.
