Unfortunately, in the US, demonizing groups of people works. It gets voters to the polls. In 2028, it will just be the next group in line. It never ends.
This is what a man looks like. Defending the persecuted because it matters, not a wimp hiding behind his daddy's fortune or a loaded gun.
Walz is so much better than Kamala, so I'll be voting because of Walz.
I like to imagine the primary we could have had if Biden had not insisted he could handle a campaign. But I also think Walz would not have been able to separate from the fracas of a Battle Royale. Kamala would have won, but who knows if she would have been battle-hardened or beat up.
Tim Walz is the Captain Picard we've needed for a long time.
This comment makes me happy I put a Star Trek stamp on my mail in ballot
I'm honestly heartened to hear Waltz specfically voice support for trans folk. This is opposed to Harris who said she would follow the law in regards to my community, which sounds good but I need everyone to understand that it could be said by a governor in a southern state enforcing anti trans legislation. Waltz actually went the distance to say we should to be legally left alone. There is a stark difference between these two statements, even if I glad to hear both.
Hey not trying to be an internet jerk, just wanted to point out that his last name is Walz not "Waltz". Hope you have a great day.
Oh dang, you're totally right! I honestly appreciate ya pointing that out, thank you and have a great day as well! ♥️
Yeah, the news can't seem to get it correct, so i get your confusion. They also pronounce it "waltz".
Its really pronounced like "walls".
We're just a few weeks away from the election. The candidates have two different but important roles.
As much as you may want Harris to say something like "We will defend the trans community," it's going to alienate swing voters.
It makes no earthly sense the election is this close but it is. Kamala can't afford a misstep but Tim can.
Honestly called the gov office right after he got the nomination.
I’m a teacher, I want to still be at least, but they’ve made it dangerous for trans people to exist in Oklahoma. There’s currently a court hold on ANY investigation based on gender identity discrimination in schools.
