What a shame. I actually really like Tim Walz. He was the only half of the presidential ticket that I did like.
I don’t think he’s actually done, but I think this move does make it harder for republican Political gamesmanship.
I dunno man, they’ll just make something new up.
Sure, but this resets that last 2 months momentum.
The whole persona the right wing media fabricated over the years against this guy is now worthless and it takes them time to get so many stupid people’s hate turned in another direction. It’s pretty funny actually.
God fucking damnit
Is this so that he can run for president?
Unlikely, they would want him to stay for midterms, then in 28 if he won the presidency that would just replace him as govenor then.
That would have been a dick movethough right? Not the ideal solution for Minnesota
Maybe he is just a decent guy and wants the next government to be able to do their job instead of being involved in a presidential campaign?
Every time someone backs down against fascism shows them their threats and violence work. It reinforces their actions. It’s effective. And it guarantees they will do it again. The only way to win is to stand firm and fight for your democracy otherwise you’ll die a slave.
That may be true and all, but it’s probably not relevant here.

The problem is that Republicans have always been able to use a compliant media, to bring down strong candidates and replace them with their choice.
And as usual, Democrats are complicit. A Democrat will be forced to resign and leave public life over a parking ticket.
I like Tim Walz, but unfortunately, he fucked up. Should have had more oversight in his system. I’m for social welfare programs, but they can get abused, which is why it’s critical that they’re well-funded enough to be efficient and have good oversight to make sure they’re not open to too much fraud.
To be honest, I don’t think Democrats on the whole have done social welfare well. Admittedly, that’s often because Republicans get in the way of giving the systems adequate funding, but even in most Blue states, they’re inadequately funded.
Anyway, it’s too bad he’s going out this way. He was otherwise a great governor.
The welfare fraud claims were always bullshit. The only evidence was in idiot right-wing youtube video.
What are you talking about? There have been investigations, prosecutions, and convictions. This is unfortunately quite real.
