Again, Walz called them weird until the end of the campaign. The media just stopped covering it after two weeks.

I STILL TO THIS DAY CANNOT BELIEVE THAT TIM WALZ TOOK OVER THE ENTIRE 2024 RACE BY CALLING THEM "WEIRDOS" AND IT COMPLETELY DEMORALIZED THEM AND THEN ***THEY JUST STOPPED DOING IT***

1) I was never comfortable with that term being used to describe people who are hateful.
2) We lost the election, so it's reasonable to assume that 'weird' didn't really work.
Much as I could see the appeal of it, I was always worried about the unintended consequences, and it bothered be a lot that so many people didn't seem to realise they were even a danger.

The campaign played things too safe because the party is allergic to major economic reforms. And Gaza absolutely made enough difference to matter.
Harris was ALSO up against an almost impossible set of conditions that have become endemic.
You want to know what a good third to half of the country thought would solve their economic woes? Deporting 20 million people to “free up housing” and then cutting ourselves off with tariffs.
No single narrative fully accounts for either loss.

Demand more from your politicians, bootlicker
The other main competence of MAGA is idiocracy. You cover both. Be proud of it. 100 % MAGA.

Talk to the average Trump voter, not even full on MAGA, about any societal issue or even benign trend.
They are shouting within two minutes.
These people are cooked. And a good number never even heard that Waltz called them weird outside of a highly curated context.
Trump made CNN and the NYT a lot of money, because the rage he inspires attracts viewers and readers. They have financial interest into having the GOP ruling and ruining the country.
Why didn't Kamala Harris and Tim Walz just say [THE MAGIC WORDS]!? It's like they WANT to lose!!
And more of them blamed Hamas..

should send troops to secure Gaza and protect food delivery.
Prevent Genocide....
( preventing aid to starving people in Gaza )
just as our President is acting extremely anti-Christian
No More military aid to Israel,
we are wrong to support GENOCIDE
Save this one, and wait till he rubs a person's of colors 'fro ....

If you get a message that works, hammer that shit relentlessly until everyone around you is sick of it. It's about that point when low info voters are finally hearing about it for the first time
(this makes me very patient with things like doing the eyebrow waggle as many times as they want)
Lemme guess: the first joke was free? It always is.
Did he go to the bathroom in that time betwixt fanboying and patting the children?
He makes it sound like it was a span of time.
And after a minute, in the campaign, he stopped speaking like that, got consultified. THAT, I think was the mistake.
We never got and will never get the endless drumbeat coverage on Trumps rapes or *literal convictions* like they devoted to “But her emails” and “Biden old” even though they’re obviously much more scandalous!
Reactionaries revel in the negative emotions that fuels.
There can be no "Joe Rogan of the left" Normal people would rather watch reruns.
• Joe Biden dropped out of the campaign.
• Tim Walz kept saying weird until the end.
• Liz Cheney endorsed Harris, not the other way around.
• Kamala Harris was running on a ceasefire and building new homes.
• More than 90% of voters thought Harris was to their left.
I'm going to need evidence of Walz doing the weird thing to the end.
Obviously Liz Cheney endorsed Harris. Harris didn't have to campaign with her and brag about being endorsed by Dick Cheney. That is stupid and unacceptable.
People thought Harris was to their left because she's a horrible messenger and ran a shitty campaign.
Confirmation bias is a helluva drug.

You've been proven wrong about the ceasefire, you've been proven wrong about the weird accusations, maybe the media you're consuming isn't informing you well enough.
