By not letting him loose. He could have talked about guns, free school lunch, college tuition or anything that would have helped her relate to the common man but they muzzled him.
Governor - Is there anything you can't do?? Never mind, I already know that the answer is no. I love governors who can make caramel popcorn. Those are the best governors.
Don't tell me you're going to feed the hungry again.
Look at what happened last time.
I'll be crushed if the only way Democrats can beat the republicans is because they trashed the place. It turns out that the nazis were right: in the battle of ideas, anger wins every time.
Do you live in Minnesota? Walz and the Dems had plenty of opportunities to pass solid legislation and got minor stuff done while caving to corporations and Republicans.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about caring about the average person and what they’re going through.
I am so sad you are not on your way to the White House! I love you and wish you the best as you wish only the best for our country. Hope we get through the next four years and something better comes along.
We could have this man helping to lead our country but because far too many of our fellow citizens are willfully ignorant low information voters,we have a South African Billionaire instead. How do we reach people? Seriously, this man has sooo much more in common with the majority of us than PE Musk
I wish one Trump supporter would explain how January 6th was not a bridge too far. Or how the majority of Trump 's former cabinet stating that he didn't belong anywhere near the Oval Office didn't wake people up? Or Milley and Kelly? Or the hundreds of National Security professionals?
…I wish a Biden supporter would admit to how weird it is that him and his son has weird connections to other countries. His son battled addiction… great! But he also was a national security risk. Also into weird shit along with kids and trafficking… make it make sense
You really should consult James Comer and/or have watched his House Oversight Committee.They investigated for two years, had the majority in The House yet no Impeachment vote? No criminal referrals? Did you even know that? Well Comer's star witness just plead guilty to lying to Congress.
Magats would rather swim in a pool filled with shit than come to terms with the fact that they are all garbage traitors to democracy. Don’t try to understand mental illness.
I'd like to know, what was the delay with Garland? 🤷♂️
If he did his job and others, Trump would have not been an option to begin with. Why did Biden hire him? Why did he keep him on? Why did he keep Chris "Federalists society" Wray, on?
Why is he CONTINUING to aid, protect and support a genocide?
If you can wrap your head around their motivation, it will make it easier. They hate anything left of center, Anything left of center is Liberal and that has become a RADICAL label. All they want is to "OWN THE LIBS" No insurance for their wives or kids?, no problem but we owned the Libs, It's hate
You really should have read the Republican led Bipartisan Border Bill. Trump only cared about winning to avoid legal accountability. Even Troy Nehls admitted it.
Joe opened the border with the stroke of a pen, he could have closed it the same way.there is no argument that says Kamala would be a good president, just more of the same
Biden opened the border because the COVID emergency that allowed Trump to close the Border had ended. It was a humanitarian disaster and if he had not it would have been challenged in court. Trump ruined the Bipartisan Border Bill ONLY because he thought it would give Biden a win.
No. I, like you, have a right to my opinion. We put up with the Dems, now you need to put up with Trump. Do you think it's ok Joe wanted to sell off the border wall that we tax payers paid for?
We lived in Maryland for 20 years before retiring to Florida. We are seriously considering moving back to the DelMarVa. I can't stand these moron MAGA here who don't have a clue what they voted for
we had one. the democratic party destroyed it because becoming republicans was preferable to fundamental policy changes. do you remember when medicare for all, free public college, and the working class were mentioned instead of the "middle class"? all of that was torpedoed very desperately.
When did we ever have the online presence and reach the right has? That’s what we need now. 54% of voters think “mainstream media” are citizen journalists.
lmao. you tankie/DSA types will never take ownership for your own bullshit. y'all shit on democrat/liberal candidates any chance you could get for an entire year. trump becoming president is as much an accomplishment of the far right as it is of you and your far left friends. own your resistance.
i'd love for you to define tankie. maybe tag liz cheney for approval too so you feel more affirmed. get a fucking grip. nothing i said would be considered left wing in most other places in the world. your life will be easier if you just accept you're a republican with media training.
y'all protested joe biden/kamala harris every chance you got. y'all voted for jill fucking stein in swing states which directly led to trump getting elected. and now you have to gall to sit here and blame democrats who actually tried to stop the fascist from being elected. bunch of privileged losers
We've never had a left wing media machine. MSNBC, CNN, ABC, etc, they are center right. At best we have maybe Majority Report, but that doesn't hold a candle to even small online options, let alone Fox or OAN or The Blaze
sure, but you're misreading me. we had the hope of something. i think it's important to point out how rapidly that small flame was snuffed out, by whom, and for what reason. biden got into office by telling his richest supporters "nothing will fundamentally change", not to say anything about 2016
Only if you judge by Europe's political spectrum, which we don't, and why would we. The ones you posted are to the left of center to various degrees with msnbc the farthest left and ABC closer to centrist.
Well to correct your comment I'm using a political global spectrum, which puts United States Democrats as Centerist (arguably Center Right but I'm being charitable so Centerist) and Republicans as Fasc¡st.
i thought we weren't bringing this condescending energy to this platform. i'm not consulting a bumper sticker, rather the groundswell which surrounded both of bernie's campaigns, became the modern DSA, PSL, food not bombs, and progressively less electoral and more meaningful direct action movements
We just need the democrats to up their game on messaging. They are horrible at messaging their accomplishments and platforms. Of course in their defense its hard to get through to a maga cult.
We need democratic governors, state legislators, mayors, and council members to act more like Tim Walz instead of shadow running for the White House while accomplishing nothing and giving in to NIMBYs.
Yes, but that's not why. He should be VP because we elected him. Some of us aren't concerned w/social validation and have healthy psychological boundaries in place,so when a bunch of ppl tell us the pathological lying fraud psychopath who has been cheating at EVERYTHING EVER won,we call bull$hit.
Your point is well taken! But for this current world that's how it is, our rights are all controlled by there in. So all we can do is watch and do nothing
You may want to start by changing course over an atrocity the scale of which we had not seen probably since the Iraq war and that every poll said may have swung the election in key ballot states. But no, it's all about Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and fuck the Palestinians. That's what you deserve.
The good folks of Ohio kicked Sherrod Brown, the most ordinary down to earth guy in the Senate, out of office in favor of a sleazy used car salesman bankrolled by venture capitalists and Crypto Bros. Of course they rather have the zillionaire.
Nobody knows - how do we free ourselves of an oligarch outside of Luigi-ing him? In the past how did the populace overthrow oligarchies in a civilized approved way?
For some of these dumbasses they believe by not voting it will fix the issues they have with America. The fucking reality is if they don’t vote, Republicans will do what they want and sure enough they’re on their way to doing just that. Congrats you all played yourselves.
Mmmmmm that's the kind of tooth crackin' good time I'm craving. Looks delicious, would love the recipe. Also, welcome to BlueSky! So stoked to have you with us, Coach!
My dad was also a homemade Carmel corn maker…
It was the best! This is our 4th Christmas without him. My brother has taken on the task and has made him proud
There is no point in talking to Trump cultists or trying to win them over or so. It genuinely seems like an actual cult. There is no getting through.
Tim Walz is a great guy with good policies but Democrats *have to* have proper primaries to find a candidate that has a proven appeal to the masses
There are 244 million Americans who were eligible to vote in 2024. Out of those people only 161.4 million are registered to vote. Only 158.4 million voted or 65.8%
That's more potential votes than either candidate received. The main reason they gave was that they believed their vote wouldn't matter because of the electoral college.
Hopefully citizens won't be deported (although you know Convicted-1 would love to deport certain ones), but I'm angry as hell myself. (Have been since Nov. 8 2016, as it happens.)
There's only 161 million registered voters in the US. Trump got 77 million, and Harris got 75 million. That's 152, so only 9 million registered voters didn't vote
Good point.
As long as no young children are involved, I'm intrigued to read it.
Why is gaetz doing SO much damage control before its release?
My guess is it has to do with his sexual desires.
He's hiding something he doesn't want ANYONE to know.
Is it the "+" in LGBTQ+? That's ok.
Or nasty desires?
By that causation logic, you still have to solve for MI, WI, GA, & AZ. Your blame is misplaced. They ran an outstanding campaign. The other side didn’t. Ask nearly anyone who voted the other ticket, their choice was guided by well funded lies. Not against a sweet guy who embodies the Midwest.
I do like Walz and yes the lies hurt no doubt. But Walz didn't help to move the needle. It's all hindsight now, but Shapiro would have been a better attack dog! That's what Harris needed.
And thank you for what you and Kamala did for the country - showed us whst joy in the political world can look like - and at the end, reminded us the fight is far from over. Have a Blessed Christmas .
Hundreds of election lawyers on standby to fight any determinitive election irregularities should any have presented themselves. None did. We don't like it, but it was a free and fair election.
No it was far from a free and fair election.
So we need to find out why they didn't when Jackie Singh Harris' cyber security expert and thousands of other electrical engineers and cyber security experts are urging for it and warned about it before hand.
What you call yourself sums up what you are. "Shitbag McGirk, Esq."
Stupid people always think people smarter than them are crazy.
The election was hacked and Trump is going to slaughter this country and cause everything to skyrocket in price. His tariff taxes will destroy the economy.
Just because you're ignorant of something doesn't give you the right to insult it. It signals the need to inform yourself. Being proud of your ignorance is no flex.
Biden-Harris cybersecurity lead issues another urgent call for forensic audit of 2024 election https://www.thecanary.co/global/world-analysis/2024/12/02/forensic-audit-jackie-singh/
They conceded because they realized they lost and there wasn't election fraud? You blue maga really became just as bad as red maga the moment Kamala lost
There is no "you blue maga". This is Jackie Singh Harris' cyber security. And there is no such thing as "just as bad". There is only reality. They conceded because they gave up just like Gore did in 2000 and Clinton did in 2016 and the results were absolutely catastrophic.
Actually after Jan 21, Maga is an appropriate term to use. From 2017-20, Maga refers to bring back Obama years. From 2025-29, it refers to bring back Biden years.
I'm not a neolib, thanks. I'm a socialist. I believe in probably the same stuff you do. I'm rather fond of the PSL, although not 100%on board with their whole platform.
I still think the phrase "blue maga" is abject nonsense.
No offense meant my man but the mood isn't there for this stuff. In one month we become voted in fascists. Everything will change. We'll be looking towards quantum physics for some ideas on what to do with the over abundance of negative energy.
In my heart I know you're right but things are different now. This country just voted FOR fascism and German history tells me that frivolous myrth is hazardous. Still when they come knocking, stay positive.
I know everything is terrible. It really upsets me when I hear Biden is going to the inaugural of the person who led an insurrection. I can’t even believe it. But this post with him smiling made me feel good because I just feel so terrible that he’s not our vp.
I hear you.. but today a good friend told me she isn't going to start cancer treatment because "what is the point". She was scheduled to start treatment but cancelled after the election . The point is there are good people and we will not go down without a fight
I think it's important to remember the good things in the world, too.
This dude is in charge of taking care of 5-6 million Americans, and he's the kind of guy who'd make you homemade popcorn if you were his neighbor. That's good to know. It's bad out there but not universally hopeless. ❤️
Don't get me wrong on this. I admire that guy. He's a good person. It's simply my belief that voted in fascism is going to wipe out that down home, corny vibe. It is time for liberals to prepare for what's coming.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. It goes without saying we wish you were preparing to take office with Kamala. This country needs more leaders like you.
Unfortunately,you're correct. It was the price of eggs that made droves of voters choose Trump. It was plain old racism and misogyny. Eggs? Not so much. And for some of "us," it was the fact her husband is white. Seriously.
The first part of your analysis I agree with, the second part no. Campaigning with Cheney was to pick off the never trumpers and the more moderate repubs to bring them in rather than having them go third party or no show.
No, it didn’t, but it’s basic politics: move to the center in the general. What that ignores, of course, is how many on the left in 2024 were willing to put a monster in the White House in order to punish someone for being 10% less lefty than they are.
It's basic politics if your goal is to lose. Applying outdated ideas to modern politics is how we got here. Trump defys all the norms and he keeps winning. The dems keep bringing a knife to the gun fight.
Nah this is untrue, and blaming the left is how we got here. Harris lost a TON of support backing down on immigration alone, not to mention trans issues. If you don't give people a reason to come out besides "he's worse" then they won't come out. You can't win on fear

How
Be nice... I was 5.
But to be fair, making caramel still feels a bit like magic.
lol, America’s Dad
Darn it ,Governor !!
Now I want some but we won't get any til Christmas Eve.
😆😆😆

Is he perfect? No.
Is he Vance? No.
Enough reason for anyone
It’s not about perfection. It’s about caring about the average person and what they’re going through.
and a cookbook from a soon to be former vice president is a stupid idea
Thank you for your incredible work.

He mocked the way the reporter weaseled his way out of an argument, not his disability.
Also, he mocks everyone like that.
Plus, this:
If he did his job and others, Trump would have not been an option to begin with. Why did Biden hire him? Why did he keep him on? Why did he keep Chris "Federalists society" Wray, on?
Why is he CONTINUING to aid, protect and support a genocide?
They’ll never say it but that’s what it is.

I thought we left twitter to get away from those ridiculous.
Republicans have been investing in messaging infrastructure for decades.
Dems are a half-century behind. Instead of fighting back, they're just shooting themselves in the foot.
The far right has an impenetrable echo chamber they've built with media companies and social media.
Until Progressives meet the people where the misinformation lives, they wont win again.
The man is arguably the best governor in the country, and he had to turn into Elmer Fudd at the behest of the legacy Dems.
When I saw Walz fixing that F-100 as a campaign ad I was like what are they doing?
America..? You DUMB!!
And the couch cushions aren’t safe around Vance
We love you!!!
Warmest Christmas and Holiday hugs and wishes to you and your beautiful family, Governor.
I Appreciate You.
It was the best! This is our 4th Christmas without him. My brother has taken on the task and has made him proud
Tim Walz is a great guy with good policies but Democrats *have to* have proper primaries to find a candidate that has a proven appeal to the masses
Thanks coach!!
The guy should be making Carmel popcorn in the VP office at the White House.
That's more potential votes than either candidate received. The main reason they gave was that they believed their vote wouldn't matter because of the electoral college.
Cheers

I bet it would pair well with a good movie or the Matt Geatz ethics report.😇

I fell in “luv” witcha!
please don’t go far, as I cannot wait for our paths to cross, again.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, “Uncle Tim.”
But once going it’s hard to stop 🙏🏽
Happy Holidays to All, Tim.
Thank you continuing to share the Joy!

We need this. We need this so much. I will always look to your posts to keep me stable. Yes, STABLE.
And put it in the mail.
Maybe wait for Santa Clause,
And tape it to Rudolph's tail.
Merry Christmas to you and your and your family. 🎄🎅
But it’s great that you continue to share your positivity and joy with life.

I still think the phrase "blue maga" is abject nonsense.
Was so hoping for so much and the disappointment is hard.

Heaven!
The damage that Trump will cause is going to be felt all around the world.
Film yourself making this and post it on facebook for all the family you disinvited to Christmas to see! 🥰

how does one prepare for fascism, precisely? by abstaining from caramel popcorn? What?
