Summary

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has criticized the Harris-Walz 2024 presidential campaign for playing it too “safe,” saying they should have held more in-person events and town halls.

In a Politico interview, Walz—known for labeling Trump and Vance as “weird”—blamed their cautious approach partly on the abbreviated 107-day campaign timeline after Harris became the nominee in August.

Using football terminology, he said Democrats were in a “prevent defense” when “we never had anything to lose, because I don’t think we were ever ahead.”

While acknowledging his share of responsibility for the loss, Walz is returning to the national spotlight and didn’t rule out a 2028 presidential run, saying, “I’m not saying no.”

    I think the Harris-Walz campaign was just a touch too genocide-y rather than “safe”

        That’s quite literally what his side have wanted for decades and have basically openly said that, so of course he did well with that stance

        Meanwhile the Democrats are the ones pretending to be the non-monstrous option while openly being monstrous

        It should be clear why it hurts one side more than the other: one side literally doesn’t fucking have standards

      I see you’re getting downvoted for criticiszing genocide. Looks like the hasbara are still getting paid to astroturf lemmy and reddit to make it look like the zionist cause is more than 1% of the voters. So at least we have some semblance of normalcy.
