Every time I read about things Walz is saying on the campaign trail, I come away even more impressed and satisfied with Walz as the VP nominee. Dude seriously has his head on straight in a LOT more ways than the vast majority of our political class.
They have my vote solely because I want adults in the White House again
Fucking single issue voters with their democracy fetish /s
Solely? Solely?
Walz and Katie Porter have a good head on their shoulders. It's almost like having a background in Education is a great for representing the American people. Also teachers in general are for the most part great people.
Correct on all accounts! Let's tune now to the Conservative respon- aaaaand they're screeching about brown people eating cats....
Comment from another thread - “they heard about eating pussy and got confused”
They're jealous lmaooo
"Why would I do something that I don't personally and immediately benefit from?"
Jesus Christ you're serious.
I wish I wasn't
Tim is completely right to say that.
They know that very well. They just want all queer people back in the closet or coversion camps and most important, hating themselves again.
They don't want them proud and out, they want them hidden and afraid.
So much self hate. It's sad.
Walz is on a roll. Saw a speech of his in Pennsylvania and it was definitely a barn burner. But, I guess the media got more clicks from cat eating.
Don't often go and look for others that they can simply Google, but

Take the short cut to 31:20 or so
Walz is on a roll.
Funny you'd say that. The name Walz has german origins and a Walz(e) in german is this:
A (road/construction) roller.
Let's hope he'll continue to crush his opponents.
RODA ROLLA DA!
It's beyond insane that the fate of America, and let's be honest the world, rests on one election. It's either 4 years of relative normalcy or hate will reign completely unbridled in the most powerful nation on the planet and our freedom will be a memory. WTF? Get off the couch and vote! No seriously, you must vote. Use your ballot power!
I wonder how Walz is going to square his obvious compassion and fairness with Gaza, when that day comes? I haven't heard a word about what he thinks there.
Not that it really matters, as the VP isn't the one making policy. But he doesn't strike me as a guy that just comes to terms with dead children as collateral damage, let alone whatever the fuck it is that Israel is getting away with there.
I would accept if VPWalz is completely mum on Gaza. We know the alternative is worse, and we don't want that single issue to get out there and allow cons to confuse voters.
Even if pressed, I hope he says something generic about caring for people's safety, without saying whom, and deals with it after we still have democracy.
People forget the alternative in this binary choice is super bad on that issue too, and can be easily swayed once it's out there.
Stick to the image for now, keep mum on the topics that'll enrage the belligerent invaders, and see if we can get the borders defined in Palestine's NATO bid. (I expect it will match the border iz had defined decades ago)
I wonder what could have happened if he had announced he is against aid in that short window before the elections, how many power pro-Israeli lobby has to sink a man fast. I imagine, it can be twisted badly to hurt his and dem's chances at winning, and they avoid touching that topic at all for now, with a reasoning that they'd not be able to affect it at all if they lose. That's so if we assume they'd be dare to change the policies after they get there.
I wouldn't suggest anyone to get into politics that can't come to terms with collateral damage
Of course, this was going to clash with his cuddledaddy image sometime
Any gay willing to make a throwaway account to answer why they vote Red? The Republicans would make sense if they weren’t hypocrites and actually supported some of the things they claim to, like fiscal responsibility etc.
