Summary
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’ 2024 running mate, has suggested he may run for president in 2028.
Reflecting on the Democrats’ loss to Donald Trump and JD Vance, he admitted: “A large number of people did not believe we were fighting for them in the last election – and that’s the big disconnect.”
Walz said his life experience, rather than ambition, would guide his decision.
Though his VP campaign was marred by gaffes, he remains open to running if he feels prepared.
One difference, germane to the topic and not related to anyone’s skin color, is that the people actually wanted Obama.
I’m not so sure about that. I think they wanted the promised “hope and change,” and thought maybe this time the candidate would deliver. Spoiler alert - there were other priorities.
You’re not sure that the people chose Obama over Clinton in 2008? I’m sorry you’re not sure about that, when did you arrive here (Earth, I mean)?
Not what I’m saying. I think people voted for Obama’s platform and marketing. At the time he was a relatively unknown political figure, which amplified the possibility of change. Which, again, was not delivered upon.
Oh, I see. And Clinton did all those things too? Or are there actually even more differences between them than just their “obvious skin color”? Please tell me because I do not know what you obviously mean.
I was joking earlier about Dems’ utter and tired dependence on identity politics, but you seem to have chosen to take things the wrong way at every turn. As I said, policy wise, I don’t believe those two differed much at all. In other words, they both would do exactly what the donors tell them. Biden also did this, and the American people hate it so much that they voted Trump2 instead.
Many establishment dems absolutely refuse to learn this lesson, just like you appear to be. I suggest you and others in the party reflect on those devastating Dem losses some more beyond the easy identity-politic excuse of “misogyny”, or we’re going to be in for a very rough next election cycle.
Now It’m sure we’re in different timelines. You brought up their skin color. That being a pretty chickenshit distinction between them, I challenged you. Now you’re shouting identity politics. It’s like pulling the string on a broken Krusty doll.
