Making his debut as a vice presidential candidate on Tuesday, Tim Walz staked his claim to Middle American values and argued that former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, are “weird” and “creepy as hell.”
Walz, the governor of Minnesota, also got the packed arena laughing with a reference to a meme about Vance having relations with a couch.
“I can’t wait to debate the guy,” Walz said. “That is, if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.”
…
“In Minnesota, we respect our neighbors and the personal choices they make, even if we wouldn’t make the same choice for ourselves,” he said. “There’s a golden rule. Mind your own damn business.”

They’ve been doing so unbelievably well…I can almost hear the other shoe whistling as it falls through the air. When the Dems fuck this one up it’s gonna hurt.

remembers 2008
Yeah, it will
How did Democrats fuck up 2008?
They didn’t. They got a super majority and passed the most comprehensive healthcare bill in history. And pulled the economy out of the biggest recession since the Great Depression. And approved Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor who created a 5/4 Democratic slant to the Supreme Court, allowing gay marriage to be legalized.
And then in 2011 Osama Bin Laden was killed in his home in front of his grandchildren. All that sounds successful to me.
I wouldn’t say killing someone in front of their grandkids a success, but the death of Osama bin laden is indeed a good thing, just wish less grandchildren were involved
Fewer?
Fewer includes none, so yeah
They wasted their supermajority by passing a right wing healthcare bill.
Instead of ending the wars as promised, they did a troop surge.
They bailed out wall street while doing little to help working americans.
Democrats are more for the people than Republicans but they’re still not great.
The ACA is miles better than what we had before and the supermajority was supermajority in name only.
Yeah there’s always an excuse
It still left an unpleasant taste
When Shapiro looked like they might be the VP pick I thought that was done.
I’ve always hated how Dems try to keep decorum and fight with one arm tied behind their back, while Republicans shit sling and fight dirty. I’m glad Dems are finally growing some balls and calling out these idiots with their own attack strategies
And yet, unlike Republicans, they aren’t resorting to dirty tricks and grotesque lies. It’s really nice to see this middle ground where they aren’t just sucking it up but they also aren’t going down to the Republicans’ level.
“when they go low, we kick them in the nuts, respectfully”
I don’t remember Kamala being this way when she was campaigning in 2020. It seems she’s fucking fed up with the GOP’s bullshit like the rest of us.
I don’t think he’s fighting dirty. He’s just being clever and on the attack. Using their own attack strategies would be using racial slurs, political violence, and theocratic-fascist dog whistles. Harris and Waltz are just punking them, and it’s great.
It really highlights how decrepit and often inept the Biden campaign was.
With project 2025, the stakes are higher than the rich getting richer.
But that’s been retconned to have nothing to do with Trump now that it turns out to be so unpopular. Come on, keep up with the reeducation plan. Oceania was at war with Eastasia.
Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
There is no war in Ba Sing Se

Dental plan!
You mean we can do more now than “Pokemon Go…to the polls!”?
It’s about damn time. The difference between Hillary’s meme attempts and Walz’s is crazy. I’m not sure who handled them, whether it was the candidate or a team for each, but Walz’s are so much better it’s insane. Chillin in cedar rapids and Pokemon go were so hard to watch. I know an election like this so much more than that, but get with the times if you rely on a younger voting pool. Walz’s reminds me of Biden VP memes to a certain extent. Maybe more timeless and less fad based. Not sure but seems much more genuine this time.
