Running as Republican-lite and courting the neocons will just serve to validate right-wing ideologies and strengthen the vote for the real Republican candidate. Harris needed to lean into the Walz platform, but her consultants clearly failed (sabotaged?) her. Add to this the fact that Americans grown to hate standard politicians—at least for president—and it’s clear this was Trump’s election to lose.

Exactly, it’s not about gender at all. It’s about populist policies that will prioritize our own people. When you make a point of courting the neocons, who gave us over a decade of war and an even shittier economy, you’re not going to win over the independents who see both parties as more of the same. In fact, you’re proving them right.

Walz is so much better than Kamala, so I’ll be voting because of Walz.

Honestly, the VPs in this election are better candidates than the presidential candidates. Even if I hate JD.

I mean, downvote all you want but they’re right. No one picked Harris except for Joe Biden. The primary was half assed at best, and there was no democratic process to select the Democratic party nominee. You’re insane if you don’t think that Biden’s dementia wouldn’t have surface during an actual primary process. We could have easily avoided this Trump apocalypse if the Democratic establishment let us have a real primary.

This video breaks it down fairly well: https://youtu.be/9Xb9LU4OoHw?si=sNUoXhJvbYh_5m1R

We need to greatly reduce meat consumption in order to make our planet sustainable for human life. You can start at your own pace, but it’s easier than ever with all of the meat alternatives these days.

There’s no need for this consumerism. Is wasteful and unsustainable.

Men aren’t supposed to suck on things, only blow.

Old school

I’m sure they could keep the backend and just update the look and UI frontend though, no?

You’re forgetting that these batteries are going to be cheap because the compounds needed are readily available. This tech is not going to replace every lithium battery out there, but it’s going to give consumers another, more economic choice vs lithium. Plus it’s a safer technology than lithium.

Pressuring Democrats to deliver for the working class is a good thing. Organizing around these issues show them that they’re important and not a liability, but an asset. My guess is they’re taking big insurance money and that’s why they aren’t going to deliver on healthcare save for some very minor changes.

I swear to god if her housing policy doesn’t include banning private equity from purchasing homes, I’m going to be angry.

Also the first time a house speaker has been defeated in their primary in Hawaii history. Her opponent also outspent her 2:1, and had the backing of Senator Brian Schatz, the governor, lieutenant governor, and the mayor. Pretty incredible odds.

What would he do exactly? He’s had a hell of a lot of problems as DOT lead.

I’m glad you were wrong too and willing to admit it. The denial that some people were in was insane on here.

Maybe reversing that question would be a good starting point–what’s good about Buttigieg?

Tim Walz is an excellent choice for the working class. I’m excited and will be all in for a Harris-Walz ticket.
