Summary
Tim Walz held a town hall in Minnesota as part of a national tour, reflecting on Democrats’ 2024 loss and rallying support for progressive causes.
Walz framed the tour as part brand redemption, part Democratic catharsis, and part rally, while hinting at a potential 2028 presidential run.
He criticized Republicans and billionaires like Elon Musk, saying, “They chose the billionaire. We gotta do better.”
He proposed creating a “shadow cabinet” to challenge GOP policies and advocated for protecting social programs and trans rights.
Walz acknowledged the need for stronger messaging to counter Trump’s influence, emphasizing healthcare and social security as key issues.
“They chose the billionaire. We gotta do better.”
Second part is what matters, and what should be in headlines.
The party failed voters, and they need to do better. The entire point of settling for moderates was supposed to be electability, but moderates aren’t electable. And when they do get elected, they don’t accomplish anything.
DNC chose the billionaires too. Yes, you have to do better buddy.
That seems like a dangerous thing to call your tour when the fascists are already trying to shift the narrative that Democrats are terrorists
“Donald Trump is on his revenge and retribution tour,” he said. “Well, I said I’ll be on one, too. I’m going to bring revenge just raining down on their heads with their neighbors getting healthcare. They’re gonna rue the day when we got re-elected because our kids with special needs are going to get the care that they need.”
Context matters even if the fascists will ignore it.
We gotta fight fire with fire. Avoiding potentially “dangerous rhetoric” is part of what got us here, we need to tell it like it is and start referring to things as “common sense” because that will reach the majority of Americans.
We need more people with a microphone to tell it like it is. Silence is complacency.
The difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is often perspective.
while hinting at a potential 2028 presidential run.
No, fucking STOP IT you old fucks. Use what little fucking energy you have left to support a YOUNG AND POPULAR candidate not more of the same aging bullshit. You should be focusing on talking to real people and pushing the issues that real people care about for the benefit of the entire fucking country, not this “it’s my turn” bullshit.
