Very, very funny to me that y'all don't realize how appealing Walz is to your typical undecided/low-information voter who only pays attention to "politics" for 2-3 months tops every four years. Like it not, the election will be decided by turnout - who can turn out their base to the max, and who can turn out the indies and undecideds. Walz appeals to both the dem base and to the "normie" low-info undecided voters. That repugnant felon y'all keep nominating could have helped himself by choosing a less radical veep, but instead he picked the dude who wrote the forward to 'project 2025: the novel' lololol

---

while being personally appealing ranks way low in the list of importance, this should not be overlooked, given the fact that turnout is really all that matters. and right now the Democratic ticket is clearly winning that battle (thanks Joe for dropping out)

Walz - very likable and relatable. midwestern dad energy. clearly a friendly person, in line with the midwestern stereotype. people enjoy listening to him speak.

Kamala - meh. some demographics (mainly women) like her. some don't. was generally disliked as VP but approval has gone up since she became the presumptive nominee. comes off as fake. but not detestable.





Vance - very unlikable and does himself no favors when he talks. Does nothing to make himself more appealing. Sometimes it seems like he's trying to make himself less appealing. fully on board with project 2025.


Trump - absolutely repugnant, disgusting person. lowest of the low. Detestable in every conceivable way. Everyone who's ever met him hates him, with very few exceptions. Even many of his staunchest supporters in public hate him personally. Everyone who was in his cabinet during his presidency despises him. I truly cannot think of someone more unappealing. tries to distance himself from project 2025 but I think we all know if any of those agenda items are passed he'll sign it, including a national abortion ban.

like it or not, all of these things affect turnout.

---

Walz, Kamala, and Trump all have staff issues from their past. Kamala couldn't retain anyone and I can't think of one long-time staff member. At least Hillary had a few and Trump at least has a few.

Trump doesn't get along with other Type A personalities in his leadership hierarchy. People that have met him outside of leadership tend to come away liking him.

You are completely wrong about Vance. He is on point with most of his talking point for a large percentage of Americans.

I think another point worth making about the trans thing, is that apparently an amendment was proposed limiting it to boys bathrooms and it didnt make it onto the final bill. it was not vetoed.

so the reaction is either crying bloody (no pun intended) murder, or saying "oh well." I think most people are saying oh well because at the end of the day it's not a huge deal.

I wonder whose idea was #1 or was that put in their heads? Who really thinks of that?

#2 happens how often? Please

#3, maybe, maybe one in a blue moon.

#4, same as #2.

All this is hand waving to avoid talking about allowing children to go through a wang-ectomy sponsored by the state after they have convinced a child against their parents wishes.

The thinking is that Walz's story and style will be relatable and reassuring to some of those voters, blunting at least part of the Trump GOP's newfound dominance.

There's a catch, though: Walz wasn't able to do that himself in his last campaign.

---

He also garnered 80,000 less votes from his first governor election to his second.

When the folksy grandpa image is backed up with Socialist, dei, and trans ideologies, it falls pretty flat for the common white Midwestern or rural Pennsylvanian.

Kamala should've went with Shapiro. Walz gives the Republicans far too many items to brand the dem ticket as the most radical in american history.

To bad the dems hate Jewish people.

What's funny is the libs here, in the media, etc spinning Walz into this normal dad-energy guy to make him seem electable to the masses when the truth is that he's a far left loon openly avowed socialist who openly advocates for everything abnormal.

The truth never matters to leftists though so I can see why they are projecting here and pushing a lie. Fortunately Walz has receipts of his far left lunacy which Twitter and other channels are getting out there.

The fact that y'all don't seem to know what "dad-energy" means is so telling.

Do you know what Walz looks like to many voters? He looks like the dad or grandfather or brother that they lost to Fox News and the cult of donald trump years ago. He is the kind, loving, benevolent father-figure, cracking "dad" jokes and BEING NORMAL rather than ranting about secret pedophile pizza shops and "stolen" elections and using slurs and repeating weird AF super-online q anon predictions that never come true.

Keep calling him "tampon tim" and photoshopping his face onto boxes of tampax, btw. Normal people are going to love that.

---

So, wanting tampons in elementary school boys bathrooms is normal in your world?

---

it's so funny how people are dunking on him for this.

Tampons are a feminine hygiene product and he made said feminine hygiene product readily available for elementary school age male students. and people are trying to twist that into pointing out him being a creepy groomer?

i've yet to see an attack on him really land.

---

Uhhh, yeah!!!

Btw, I reinserted a couple of relevant words that you so conveniently omitted.

It's not as funny, then. More concerning.

ETA: And I'm comfortable with outright saying that is grooming, when as governor Walz has not only overseen the installation of femine products in EVERY restroom from 4th grade on.. (which in practice will mean from 1st grade on, as most elementary schools are grades 1~5 or 6, and they all share the same restrooms); but also championed the state having the ability to step in and remove children from homes who may be only going through a normal phase, because parents don't agree to move forward with transitioning based on the child's word. To me, that is nothing BUT grooming.

A bad choice brought on by the fact a good portion of the Democrat base are straight up anti-Jew.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving group of authoritarian leftist scum.

All y'all don't realize that the appeal of Tim Walz is that he's a patriarchal figure.

You see, while you are work busting ass doing things you'd rather not be doing, around people you'd rather not be around ... your wives, daughters and MILs see him as a jolly father figure that's ready to give them a big hug and see what they just bought at Target.

That may have flown at one time


no longer


I really don't care how a person chooses to live their life, but i like many Americans will no longer participate in the charade.

So no, i will not be "for" retrofitting men's bathrooms to allow for feminine hygiene products

I'm not going to "normalize" this behavior anymore


If you the individual are trying to live some sort of one off lifestyle, great that's wonderful. Those non standard things to support your choice are on you.

I will be using the pronouns that seem appropriate to me to use, sorry if that upsets people


I choose not to participate in the semantic games of gender identity

Totally grandpa.

"Walz is friendly" is about the funniest thing I've read today. The clown was straight up gestapo during covid. But that is likely viewed as friendly by most libs on this board that still believe strict "mitigation" protocols were actually necessary or effective. His appearance on stage yesterday was about as "weird" as it gets. Some of you on the left are far too easily duped in to believing someone is relatable because they post photos doing "average joe" things, even if the photos from some of these clowns show things like raw hamburger patties with cheese on them. "Rurals are nothing but rocks and cows" also seems like something a really friendly person would say as well.

The CSM thing is a big red flag for me. CSM can be a pretty political endeavor and having someone getting a conditional promotion only to bail but still use the conditional to promote a run for office is a pretty ****ty thing to do.

"I spent 25 years in the Army and I hunt," Walz said. "I've been voting for common sense legislation that protects the Second Amendment, but we can do background checks. We can research the impacts of gun violence. We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, are only carried in war"

This kind of view will never make sense to me. I can understand people voting against Trump and Vance, they certainly have their own issues. But anyone who actually supports a ticket as radical as this is completely insane and bizarre to me - pro locking out elementary kids from schools and closing business for a bad cold, pro gender transition for kids, pro Hamas, pro BLM rioters, and pro basically every radical leftist viewpoint that exists. I didn't think those people really existed outside of Reddit message boards and 26 year olds whose parents still pay their car insurance but I guess this thread proves that wrong. The Trump team has to doing backflips that they somehow picked someone even more radical than Harris instead of a relative moderate like Shapiro.

Couldn't pull this little number so he caught a case of the kneeasles.

Also, there's quite a bit of projection about Vance.

Guy's story is one many Americans wish they could have too.

Born poor, raised by grandma, joined the Marines, went to big state college, went to ivy league, started his own business, wrote a very successful book, won a congressional seat, now a candidate for VP.

Has a normal, stable family witha woman he met in school.

He's not weird. His story is not weird. That's total projection by walz and this poster.

Trump- sure, he gives plenty of reasons for people to not like him
Kamala- same thing. Plenty of reasons to not like her
Walz- seems like am actor, but I can see why he might appeal to Joe, personality wise
Vance- I can also see why he might appeal to the regular joe.

THIS is one of his key advisors:

Tim Walz was lobbied by the woke gay left to remove protections against pedophilia.

AND HE DID IT.

And Walz successfully supported the pedophile bill he championed:

the fact that you made this post shows that you haven't made much of an effort to understand why people may support Harris/Walz. your incendiary language sounds like it's straight from a Fox News segment. all buzzwords and insults, no objectivity.

without getting into all of the ridiculous buzzwords, I will say that the pro-Hamas line is both funny and desperate. Tim Walz isn't anti Israel by any stretch of the imagination.

Also, I've noticed that everyone lecturing over how she should've picked Shapiro are Republicans or right leaning moderates, while the rest of the Democrat base from Manchin to Sanders feels energized and excited. Just a funny dichotomy.

Here's the truth: He indeed spent 24 years as an enlisted soldier in the Minnesota National Guard. As far as I can tell, he deployed once to Italy and once to Norway. But when it was finally his turn to deploy in the actual Global War on Terror, Walz instead chose his own aspirations over leadership. In a letter posted to Facebook in 2018, veterans from his unit said Walz retired from the National Guard after learning his battalion would be deployed to Iraqthough he assured his troops he would join them.

I don't disagree with what you are saying here because you are readily admitting that your side is composed of low information morons who support Marxism. Those two things obviously go hand in hand which you have acknowledged here.

And it's laughable that your talking point that a guy who is pro-pedophile is the normal, everyday man who is the likable one.

At least you are honest about your party (low information Marxists) and what you value (pedophilia). It helps the rest of us to know who the enemy is.

Who writes this nonsense?
It reads like it is straight out of the propaganda handbook.
As with all democrat propaganda it is full of lies.

I guess with a Hiding in the Closet Harris and a hard core leftist Walz the democrats have nothing to run on other than lies and a weird obsession with saying "weird".

None of this mentions anything about qualifications.
If Americans just let the democrat media define who is more likable then Americans deserve the tyranny that they vote for.

The founding fathers were very weary about the tyranny of the masses in a democracy. I don't know if they realized how easily the masses could be manipulated by a biased media. Their concern for direct elections is well justified.

Vance is already on Walz ass about his "military" history
