Or California?

My 20-something niece feels the same way. She is now really enthusiastic and motivated now compared to a month ago when she probably wasn't going to vote. They've really energized their base with these smart choices unlike old man Trump whose choice just draws attention to his weirdness.

Better than Shapiro.
I think she should have gone moderate/ conservative.
Appeal to both aspects of the party, independents and conservative never Trumpers.
3 months from now we'll know.

Nah, that's loser talk. She's already fairly moderate. If she wants to energize her base and increase turnout, this was the smart pick.

I am outside of the DC , though not a swing state the population is very similar to those in swing states.
No she's not moderate by measures outside of the Democratic party or rather a faction of the Democratic party.

If you were alive in the 70s, you know that most current Democratic politicians are more conservative than their predecessors. A lot of them are more conservative than 20th century Republicans.

People urging Democrats to appeal to "moderates" or say that they themselves are "moderates" are really pretty conservative.

+1

Nixon would be labeled a liberal today.

On the other hand, I’ve often read that President Kennedy would be a conservative today and that the Democratic Party is way more liberal today than in the 60s. Everything is relative in terms of the issues people are facing in their own times.

My DH, a Dem who works in politics, kept saying to me last week that they needed to make this choice as plain, boring, ordinary as possible in order to win. We need to play this one safe.

He is literally the one who deployed the National Guard in Minnesota.

Actually, Nixon and Reagan are progressives by today's standards.

But somehow Walz is a dead ringer for 84 year old Patrick Leahy.

A month ago you told us that Virginia is a swing state - and Minnesota, too. What changed?

Yep, and even put on the gear and was out there himself.

Seriously, both Harris and Walz are 100% progressives with no history of reaching out to the other side. California and Minnesota? That’s like the Republicans putting up an Alabama/Oklahoma ticket and wondering why they’re not catching on.

Trump uses a gold toilet in NY.
Vance is a hedge fund bro in California.

Do you hear yourself?

The D party is far more left today than it was in the mid century. Even just recently, remember the blue dog coalition? The modern D party is very close to the dem socialist parties of Europe, which are thoroughly on the left.

Biggest question: Does Tim Walz move the needle for independents/moderates?
