I like adding AOC to the ticket. But getting through primaries may pit them against each other; their bases, at least.
Bernie's going to be almost 90 years old by then
If he was less supportive of Israel and law enforcement I'd be more excited about this.
Honestly there isn't anyone left in the party that I'm happy with - even AOC started transitioning into radlib territory.
I'd vote for him but he'd need to ignore the consultants next time if he wants any hope of winning.
Can you please just fucking not
We need someone who is actually going to make some changes, not another return to a milque toast centre right 70 year old white dude
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.
I think we need to go with the Zelensky model (comedian-turned-politician) rather than Zelensky proper. My money's on Jon Stewart and/or Bill Burr.
Hopefully this time they don't muzzle him. Tim's a great example of dem policies working,
I guess I’m the only one against this idea. I’m not keen on candidates that have already lost running again. Get someone else up there to try.
I'm nervous to hear this already. I want him to be pushed into it, not to want it so much.
Please do it
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
He can't save us any more than Obama could.
He might be better than Obama (might) but we have to save ourselves.
That's a lot of pressure to put on one man...
"Run for president in 2028" XD That ship has sailed. I don't think they will have any more elections.
Even North Korea has elections. They might not be fair but they will be held.

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...
female candidates with male VP’s named Tim
Man, I had to look up who Hillary's veep candidate was. Feels like that election was about 60 years ago.
Oh yes, please, older people, maybe I'll have my late great grandma run a campaign for the democrats from her grave.
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.
And I'm sure he'll choose a young running mate (AOC maybe? Though I'd hate to see her leave Congress for such a powerless position).
The candidates we can? Surely Democrats can find a single candidate that is under 50.
You can find them further left than him too.
Walz is already popular. Unify now, spend the next four years opposing Trump and building support around someone who can sweep the election.
Kinda like Trump did to Obama and Biden.
Walz will be a perfectly normal age to run for president.
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.
The last Democrat to win the presidency was 47. Makes ya think.
Biden wasn't 47 in 2020.
Age isnt always an indicator on how people are mentally, and if they are a backwards prick
Walz is likable and has that working class appeal, but his debate performance wasn't great. I'd vote for him, but I don't think he'll make it through the primaries. I'd much rather have Pete Buttigieg personally.
As a gay man, there's 0 hope of a gay man winning in America. Full stop.
