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.”

    Yes I’ve gone over this with various users on here already. You have me tagged as a Republican or whatever, but every single time anyone has asked me about specific stances they find that I am not.

    This is exactly the type of shit I am talking about. The modern left only accepts people who agree with them on all things and think exactly like them. Any slight deviation is viewed as a threat and shoved forcefully away.

      I have you tagged as a Conservative, actually, which is accurate based on your repeated comments spewing right-wing bullshit like transphobic lies

      The modern left only accepts people who agree with them on all things

      No, just most things, especially the big and easy ones

        I’m not conservative at all lmao. Y’all kill me with that shit.

        Holding the opinion that biological women and trans women are not the same and shouldn’t be treated as such just means I have eyeballs and a functioning brain. I don’t think they deserve any hatred or attacks. I simply don’t think they should be playing sports along side biological women because they are not physically the same as biological women. I think trans people deserve as much love and respect anybody else. I just do not subscribe to your delusional world where they are also 100% exactly the same as their bilogical mirror. There are differences and no matter what you say it won’t change those facts.

        I don’t agree with you on all things but I know you are well intentioned so I could happily co-exist with you.

        I’m just guessing here (feel free to correct me) that because of my opinions on this topic you would not wish to associate with me whatsoever and you probably think I am evil right?

        That is the difference I am talking about.

        You know it’s hard to tell who’s actually a duck anymore when you call anyone that blinks differently than you a duck.

          Bro, look at the total stream of your comments. You spent a whole day arguing with god knows how many people about different iterations of this same accusation, basically that you are a dem but everyone keeps calling you conservative.

          Maybe the problem here is you, give that a thought. Or dont. I dont care what you do. But your single note woe-is-me trolling is disengenuous and tedious, and maybe you could tone that down a bit and comment less, or with a little more diversity of thought.

            I have not once claimed I am currently a dem on this website. I have said Multiple times that I used to be one. I’ve been an independent since 2016.

            Multiple people on Lemmy have marked me as a conservative/Republican incorrectly because I have one or two stances that don’t align with the left and they assume that I must be a full on Trumpy because of that.

            You can see right there that most of my opinions land me pretty much smack dab in the middle of most categories.

              68.7% predjudicial is why you run into problems with dems. So maybe stop commenting on dem issues-- you’re not a dem, so youre just trolling. No one likes a troll.

                1. You cant tell me what to do.

                2. I am not going to stop commenting on Dems issues as I want the democratic party to un fuck itself sometime before I die.

                3. You’re proving my point for me again “oh look you have one thing we don’t like you need to get outta here”.

                4. I’m not trolling. You can look through all my comments on here. I never delete any comments (unless there is a glitch and I accidentally duplicate a response or something) so my entire post history is there. Feel free to read around the various topics I drop in and talk about. You will see I am not a troll.

              You’re more right than left on 4/5 of those axis, yet you think you’re on the left? Overall you’re ~22% more conservative than liberal: that’s significant

              Oh, and the one axis giving you “liberal” points is the auth/libertarian one, which usually doesn’t have jack shit to do with left/right (you can be very pro-restriction and be leftist, those are called tankies)

              So maybe you need to re-think yourself or your beliefs, they don’t seem to align with reality
