I am not on TikTok but a friend who is tells me that the whole platform has blown up with young people's love for Walz |
+1 plus I just don't think anyone is prepared for reopening the Gaza fury and furor. We have - and need - unity right now. Shapiro isn't going anywhere. |
When Walz gets into office, he's going to hang a tennis ball from the garage of the Naval Observatory to show how far you can pull the car in. |

His stances would not make him viable in the republican party and if he ran as an I, he would split votes paving the way for the Republicans. Why would he do that? |
Then be prepared to live in Gilead. |
I would argue that Schumer, Biden and Jefferies, to name 3, are moderates. |
DP. You're seeing these responses because your reaction to the Walz pick doesn't make any rational sense. By any objective measure of his political record, he is solidly moderate, and to the right of most of the party. So, some people are understandably going to jump to the conclusion that you're lying. Or, perhaps you're just ignorant of Walz's record. Or maybe your political views have changed over the last decade. My guess is a combination. I know the progressive wing of the democratic party has turned off some moderate voters, and in the process have driven them to poor news sources like Fox News. If that happened to you, then you've probably been seeing an incredibly biases and inaccurate portrayal of Walz's record, and might not realize just how moderate he really is. Regardless, if you really know his record and still think he's "far left," then your political views have shifted substantially. |
He does actually expand the coalition. There are plenty of midwestern semi-rural and suburban whites who might be wavering but will listen to his roots story and realize he is just like them, but settled on the left side of the coin. Struggling farmers for example, who are not sways by the racial and other current GOP BS. The people that both Hillary and Walz has said that government has left them behind, In Minnesota, they are not left behind anymore. He can reach those people. |
My family in IA were not going to vote Harris but love this guy and are in board now. |
+1 These purity people are repellent. Anyone who both sides these two pairs of candidates is not in their right mind. |
DP but I honestly don’t get it - help! |
White people who live outside the DCUM bubble like to wear camouflage. That’s pretty much it. |

Coach Walz loves maps! I myself am a cargo sorts wearing, all-weather grilling, Midwestern dad, high school football fan, and map-nerd. It's like this guy was grown in a lab to appeal to me.
