I disagree that he was a wrong pick. I'm not sold he is the best pick, only because I don't see him moving the needle,but we'll see. I agree that this will be won by messaging and do far Harris/Walz has the edge with that. |
No. I think it’s all nonsense. |
From what I heard it was more that Harris clashed with Kelly (and perhaps even Shapiro) as they are both more alpha types than Walz which I can definitely see. Also, remember...the VP doesn't really have any power...Kelly and Shapiro know that. That being said...I wish it was Kelly who was the POTUS nominee and not Harris...all this gender crap about no more "white males" is really tiring. I don't care if the POTUS is male, female, jew, whatever....so long as their policies and social ideology align most with mine. Period. I was hoping that Kelly might run for POTUS in 2028...but if that isn't likely....I almost want him to flip to R or I to run in 2028. |
The messaging with this pick is that she is as far left as republicans have been trying to paint her. As a moderate Dem, this pick is dismaying and feeds right into my perceptions of her from 2020. I can’t vote for Trump but not voting for this either. |
If you are what you claim to be (a Never Trumper) than no, flipping you is of less consequence than getting out the vote in key demographics specifically the 18-35 group. Now if you’re not really a never Trumper then you’re even less of a worry because no one is trying to flip Republicans. |
Actually no. I supported and voted for Hillary. I just don’t get why so many posters here think insulting independents like me is a good idea. |
So you’re not going to vote for down-ballot candidates either? They’re more liky to affect your life than the presidential pick. |
Ok, what about his calling for a Federal Response for women who seek healthcare out of state? Writing the foreword for Project 2025 author? Calling Trump “America’s Hitler” and then working for him? Which of these issues would you rather discuss? |
+2 I've voted for Republicans many times in the past but Trump, no not ever. He is absolutely bad for the country and he'll take it down with help from the likes of the PPP. The Democrats don't have to woo me. I don't stand around waiting for someone to speak to me about what they have to offer me. I know what they have to offer. A chance for this country to fight off this assault by the GOP. |
He doesn't expand the base; he appeals to people who would have voted for Harris anyway. |
Why would a moderate Dem be dismayed by Walz? You'd have to go outside the Democratic party to find someone more to the right. |
"Alpha" types? So much weird incel bullshit coming out of the right. |
From what I read above, you see that there is a greater evil in Trump, and yet you won't do the bare minimum of voting for a Democrat to help protect your friends and neighbors from the greater evil, merely because you had a different preference for Vice President. And, even though you are willing to hang your friends and neighbors out to dry over such a petty thing, you are surprised that you are getting insulting responses? |
Heh oh yes that rabid support of your man Trump is extremely rational :D |
