Summary
Former vice presidential nominee Tim Walz criticized Trump for economic chaos while taking personal responsibility for the situation during an MSNBC interview.
“We wouldn’t be in this mess if we’d have won the election — and we didn’t,” Walz told Chris Hayes. He called Trump the “worst possible business executive” and praised the Wall Street Journal’s editorial criticizing Trump’s tariff war.
Walz emphasized Democrats must offer something better, not just criticize Trump. Recently, he acknowledged a leadership void in the Democratic Party and admitted spending too much time combatting Trump’s false claims about immigrants.
So it seems like it’s going to come down between Gavin The Transphobe and Tim Walz for 2028, and honestly Tim Walz is who I learn more towards, dude feels like a second coming of Bernie.
Meanwhile Gavin started out in 2025 being the strong man who stared Trump down, but he not only folded, he sold out transpeople.
Anyone who carries water for the “Transpeople are crazy and giving them basic human rights is going too far” is a danger to us all
I wouldn’t even vote for Gavin and it’s not the trans shit he just did it’s that he stands for nothing and is just playing hang out with fascists. I’d rather trump tbh
Tim “Expand Israel’s Borders” Walz opinion doesn’t mean anything to me, tbh.
Honestly believe Harris had a way better chance of winning without him, with a more progressive VP.
You do know there will never be a perfect candidate, right?
Asking for one that isn’t a genocidal maniac shouldn’t be the impossible bar that you consider perfect.
I don’t know about you people, but I’m not a genocidal person, I don’t think genocide is a good thing, and I don’t believe a cult of fascists have a divine right to kill the brown people.
I don’t think it’s that big of an ask to have at least one candidate that believes the same as me in this very common notion.
yknow, i’m starting to realize that i think i respect the people of russia, and china, specifically those in the military, and government more than pro palestine people support/respect israelis, and im not sure how i feel about that one.
The Israeli public, at least 60-68% of it consistently supports genocide, even as they are direct witnesses and for the most part due to mandatory IDF enlistment, participate in it.
Most people in Russia hate their government and military, beyond some basic notion that they should be the toughest because they’re Russian. Most people in China, especially the military, have nothing to do with any alleged genocide.
But the Israeli public is different. That is why they get less respect.
The Nazis were popular in Germany for a time, the Israeli government is no different at the moment. Both populations should not be respected even a little, given they have largely chosen and supported attrocities.
If you’re an American, whether you like it or not, you participate in genocide. Every aspect of living in this country causes harm to someone else. Our tax dollars kill, mutilate and destroy yet we all are compelled to pay them.
