Walz unbound truly is something to behold. His talents were wasted by an over-cautious campaign.

It’s really strange bc people are generally better at navigating the real world when they go to normal universities— hence why all of our elite Dems are twiddling their thumbs while watching a fascist takeover

People care about what college grown ass adults went to?? My daughter is insisting on UW for premed “because it’s a better school”. 🙄 (She just turned 18)
Maybe political elites care, which is absolutely a problem and likely one of the many reasons the working class feels deserted.

We could have told you that! We’re just not as good as those east coast ivies, revoking degrees from people that were already given

His 👏🏻absolute👏🏻 support of genocide is an important tell that I beg everyone not to look away from though. Support, but with eyes wide open wrt to future plays and options.

A whole ticket that didn’t go to Harvard or Yale?

Some people couldn’t handle it.

Biden went to University of Delaware!

The folks who didn't like Walz didn't like Biden either

Biden was known for his folksy charm.

He doesn’t count.

Chadron State was a rival of the State College in my hometown, so I was randomly excited to see it get press and I was excited in the opposite way of the elite. “Heck yeah, the least elite college of the least elite state.” (But I still respect academia. It’s complex to be me!)
