Summary

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has criticized the Harris-Walz 2024 presidential campaign for playing it too “safe,” saying they should have held more in-person events and town halls.

In a Politico interview, Walz—known for labeling Trump and Vance as “weird”—blamed their cautious approach partly on the abbreviated 107-day campaign timeline after Harris became the nominee in August.

Using football terminology, he said Democrats were in a “prevent defense” when “we never had anything to lose, because I don’t think we were ever ahead.”

While acknowledging his share of responsibility for the loss, Walz is returning to the national spotlight and didn’t rule out a 2028 presidential run, saying, “I’m not saying no.”

    Yes I’ve gone over this with various users on here already. You have me tagged as a Republican or whatever, but every single time anyone has asked me about specific stances they find that I am not.

    This is exactly the type of shit I am talking about. The modern left only accepts people who agree with them on all things and think exactly like them. Any slight deviation is viewed as a threat and shoved forcefully away.

        You know it’s hard to tell who’s actually a duck anymore when you call anyone that blinks differently than you a duck.

          Bro, look at the total stream of your comments. You spent a whole day arguing with god knows how many people about different iterations of this same accusation, basically that you are a dem but everyone keeps calling you conservative.

          Maybe the problem here is you, give that a thought. Or dont. I dont care what you do. But your single note woe-is-me trolling is disengenuous and tedious, and maybe you could tone that down a bit and comment less, or with a little more diversity of thought.

            I have not once claimed I am currently a dem on this website. I have said Multiple times that I used to be one. I’ve been an independent since 2016.

            Multiple people on Lemmy have marked me as a conservative/Republican incorrectly because I have one or two stances that don’t align with the left and they assume that I must be a full on Trumpy because of that.

            You can see right there that most of my opinions land me pretty much smack dab in the middle of most categories.

              You’re more right than left on 4/5 of those axis, yet you think you’re on the left? Overall you’re ~22% more conservative than liberal: that’s significant

              Oh, and the one axis giving you “liberal” points is the auth/libertarian one, which usually doesn’t have jack shit to do with left/right (you can be very pro-restriction and be leftist, those are called tankies)

              So maybe you need to re-think yourself or your beliefs, they don’t seem to align with reality

      have me tagged as a Republican or whatever

      I have you tagged as a Conservative, actually, which is accurate based on your repeated comments spewing right-wing bullshit like transphobic lies

      The modern left only accepts people who agree with them on all things

      No, just most things, especially the big and easy ones
