Personally, I'm hoping Zelensky will run for US president after strong Dien in Ukraine. You might be thinking that someone from another country can't be president. Well.... looks at current situation in White House At least this one would be elected.
We know that female candidates with male VP's named Tim don't win against Republicans. Hillary and Kamala proved that. But this is wholly different, so its possible, concievable...
Hopefully this time they don't muzzle him. Tim's a great example of dem policies working,
Would have wanted him as president nominee either way, hope he gets it. The name Tim Walz is a name that needs to go down in history with the title "saviour of the US" or smth like that
"Run for president in 2028" XD That ship has sailed. I don't think they will have any more elections.
Finally. Now you idiots can stop astroturfing the place.
They still will, lets be honest. Then its brown and darker brown. Pick your poison <3
Oh yes, please, older people, maybe I'll have my late great grandma run a campaign for the democrats from her grave.
wha? I thought it was known that walz was actually pretty young (60) compared to how he looks lol. Definitely on the older side of average age for president looking at the stats, but he's 2 years younger than jon stewart and even gavin newsom is 57.
No sooner than he mentions that he might run to the right wing attacks on his age begin.
I'd like someone younger too but let's take the candidates we can eh? Dude's compassionate and far left for a dam at the moment.
Age isnt always an indicator on how people are mentally, and if they are a backwards prick
Let's hope they won't support genocide this time.
You saved Palestine by helping Trump win. Good job.
It's cute that they think there's gonna be another election.
I'm feeling pretty certain the dems will run Buttigieg. Feels like they've been prepping him for a while.
A gay man? No way, they need to run a straight white cis man. It's fucking sad to say it, but for now...it has to be done. Too many racist, sexist and homophobic people out there.
Agreed. Push ahead in the good times. I just hope they run someone who will actually try to make things better and not placate the MAGA crowd and corps.
They'll run Blinken.
How about someone good?
The things Walz has accomplished in his time in Minnesota is actually remarkable, especially given Minnesota's traditionally libertarian/purple local politics.
Literally the only attack Republicans in Minnesota have is his handling of the George Floyd protests and his COVID response, and those are weak and they know it.
Under him we here in Minnesota got dozens of extremely progressive policies put though, our social programs have dramatically expanded and are extremely well funded, corruption has been rooted out, and our economy is booming. The Minnesota DFL under his leadership have gained a ton of ground as well, where nationally the DNC has given up a ton.
No, he isn't a great orator or debater. But as a politician and policy maker he's a rare combination of progressive, well respected, and effective.
