The joyful Minnesota governor is a valuable spokesperson for Harris whose background and personality can help the Democratic ticket undermine Trump’s efforts to woo America’s men.

Tim Walz’s first official speech on the Democratic ticket displayed all the reasons that Kamala Harris has been lauded for picking the Minnesota governor as her running mate. Personally, I think one outshines all the rest.

Walz’s military background and his work as a high school teacher and football coach, along with his palpable joy and open expressions of compassion for people in need, offer America a vision of what manhood can look like — he’s a “joyful warrior” offering a vision in contrast with what’s being offered by Donald Trump’s bravado-driven campaign.

And he’s clearly willing to challenge Team Trump on that front. He displayed that even before he received the call to join Harris’ campaign, using public appearances to refer to Trump and his allies as “bullies” who are truly weak at heart and by mocking the GOP ticket for “running for He-Man Women Haters Club or something.”

Looking forward to the Republican who badmouths Walz for being a football coach, only to be reminded of Tommy Tuberville.

so far the worst they've had to say is that he's left leaning. Oh no, he likes queer people having rights, what ever will we do.

I think every other significant dig has turned into a meme almost immediately so it's not working very well.

They're also trying to claim he's a coward for not serving in the military long enough. 24 years is apparently a short timeframe in the eyes of a republican

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

he served for 9 years in the military, and then transferred to the national guard, is what im reading.

This also ignores that trump was a vietnam draft dodger...

Even Vance with his honorable discharge doesn't have the service record the man he attacked has...

yeah, it's certainly a hard pressed point to make the argument on, but not like most conservatives would care anyways. Though to be fair, none of them were voting for kamala either anyway lmao.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Over on r conservative they've got nothing to say about his actual policies. I'm just surprised the guy mentioning the horse thing got downvoted

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

yeah makes sense, republicans dont even run on policy anymore, so it's quite literally a crippled platform, they can only scream and yell about shit that makes them mad.

As for the horse cum thing, i think anybody that says that needs to be perma banned. It's insane to me that it's even gathering friction, and i won't take satire as a answer for unironically stating that someone drinks horse cum this time.

Fuck Petey Potatotown. And unfortunately the GOP isn't concerned about being hypocritical.

When Walz is presiding over the Senate, the should start calling him coach.
