I know Walz/Harris was impossible given the Biden lead-up and Harris running the show after, but if Walz was the ticket leader I think Trump would have lost.
Trump is a dark triad personality wearing a working-man's death mask, and his base sees it and marvels at how "real" he is. But Walz knows how to actually be real, actually communicate like a regular guy, and is just good in the way middle America likes to imagine itself.
His Harris campaign bounce following "weird" would likely have held the swing state firewall, until Harris decided she wanted to bring in Liz Cheney and put a muzzle on Walz to not offend (or inspire) anyone. Given our poor Democrat name recognition options (Harris, Newsom...Jefferies?), maybe Walz is our best hope, if we somehow make it to a fair election in 2028.
Setting aside the fact that he's got more charisma than a tree stump, he's also a middle aged white guy in a country that reflexively defers to that kind of person.
I don't think Walz solves for Trump's biggest advantage - Silicon Valley broke for him and turned social media fully against the Democratic Party. He would have done less bad than Harris, particularly in the Midwest. But winning? Idk, still feels like a coin toss to me. He's not flipping Arizona or Georgia like Biden managed.
Hard disagree on the AZ front. The heelturn parading around Liz Cheney resulted in waaaaay too many "SEE THEY'RE THE SAME" protest votes or people staying at home.
I voted for Harris because of Walz. If she had picked another wallpaper running mate like Tim Kaine it would have been a lot harder.
For real?
It's just that hard to actively trust fascism or what?!
How does that make sense? There is not a single thing that could have happened to make me even CONSIDER voting for Trump. Harris could have chosen a shit-flinging gibbon, and I would voted for her.
I mean, if Harris could have found it within herself to "actually be real" and fire the dipshit advisors telling her to obsessively triangulate on nonexistent conservative swing voters, she could've won too -- even without switching around the ticket.
I'd support him. I've always liked Minnesota Democrats.
Narrator: They didn't.
I disagree. Walz/harris/biden were all bandaids to the root cause. The direction of the us now was inevitable - whether it was done now or 4 years from now or 8. And maybe on some level we got lucky with t, he’s a lot of things but a genius he is not. In any case, the bandaid has been ripped off and perhaps in 50 years the us will actually support its citizens. We just need to survive until then…
Exactly, what made the democratic party think a biracial woman was a good candidate against Trump of all people, like clearly the country is not ready for that, all they needed was another old white guy and they just handed Trump the election instead
Hillary won the popular vote, and Obama was one of our most popular presidents. While yes, sexism and racism played a role in Harris' failure, it wasn't the main problem. Her being a terrible politician, running a terrible campaign, on the coat-tails of a terrible president was the main problem.
