Tim Walz says he may run for president in 2028 despite failure of Harris campaign

There won't at the current trajectory. There won't even be midterms.

There will absolutely be an election.

It will be a farce, a Russian election where there's only one possibility to win.

If we're not pitchforks in the street before then, I don't hold much hope

States run the elections, so I'm positive there will be one. But whether or not the results are respected... I'm not so confident in that.

There will be since elections are held at the state level. Many won't be free or fair in the red states, but they'll be good in the blue states.

If red states don't hold elections, that's fewer electoral college votes we need to win the presidency and we wouldn't win in red states anyway.

Please, Texas and Florida. Oh, please, don't hold elections. 🙏

The one thing we have going for us is that Don's dementia and age are going to increasingly make it difficult for him to hold his party together. And there is the chance one of those things will leave the GOP trying to field a new traitor to try and get the cult to consolidate around.

Just guessing, but it might be a gaffe because it could be skewed to sound like he doesn't believe in democracy. Of course, this makes no sense because Trump has quite literally said that we might not need another election in four years.

A more careful statement might have been, "the electoral college needs to be replaced with a system where every citizen's vote has the same magnitude." If that's not the mathematical ideal of democracy, I don't know what is.

Edit: For you pedantic mathematicians, I'll add that everyone's vote should have the same magnitude, and that magnitude should be greater than zero.

The pearl-clutching Tone Police in the Democratic Party are nothing if not exhausting, that's for sure.

The Republicans can and do say just about whatever the fuck they want, and that's sanewashed, and overlooked, and brushed under the rug, sometimes even celebrated, but the tone police in the "liberal media" and the left, and the Democratic Party itself will be there, wagging-finger at the ready, if some Democrat misses a semicolon .

My only "problem" with the weird-comments were that they were overused. While it is certainly true, and Waltz had every reason to call it out, supporters often kept repeating it in the context of "look how triggered Republicans are by this". After a while it gave me the same vibe as people shoehorning "let's go brandon" into every situation.

And don't forget this from a russian propagandist in 2015 (archived reddit link):

“Once we isolate key people, we look for people we know are in their upstream – people that they read posts from, but who themselves are less influential. We then either start flame wars with bots to derail the conversations that are influencing influential people, or else send off specific tasks for sockpuppets (changing this wording of an idea here; cause an ideological split there; etc).”

I'm more interested in seeing if democrats hold honest primaries.

Or primaries at all.

Continue to pretend that every criticism from your left is from your right. It makes it easier to blame the left you hate when you lose to the right you admire.

I mean this is Tim "Israel has the right to expand its borders" Walz. Unless he walks that one back he'll probably alienate the Palestine vote.

And Harris was hamstrung by Biden.

She could have been better.

I saw a video of him sitting down to have an earnest conversation with hardcore Trump farmers and they left liking him a lot. He's got that "common sense" Midwestern energy on lock and I can see him gaining a lot of ground with the blue collar and rural folks because of it.

If he has pro-hunting gun views like Bernie, he'll be an amazing pick.

Yep. I remember a time when the Beltway insiders were acting like Amy Klobuchar was a rising star or some such, LOL.

Bernie's going to be almost 90 years old by then

I like adding AOC to the ticket. But getting through primaries may pit them against each other; their bases, at least.

Muricans won't show up to elect a woman as president and y'all need to figure this out.

I love AOC but if she ran as president you're gonna see exactly what happened the last two times a woman ran.

Gotta be realistic. It's a shitty reality but it is the reality we live in.

Walz is a good candidate with a history of helping his citizens. AOC is a firecracker for sure, but the public isn't going to elect a woman of color. They just aren't.

We don't "run" candidates. If you want someone else to run you need to speak with them.

Sorry if this seems pedantic but I'm getting tired of the language that suggests there's some sort of cabal deciding who does or does not run.

Not sure of moderates are ok with Sanders. The center and right will keep calling Sanders a socialist and communist.

There's going to be an election, or we're going to learn the meaning of "All enemies, foreign and domestic".

Ohh, there's probably be an election. Keeping up appearances and all that.

Don't think he'll be allowed to run tho.

Your black woman president actively help sending bombs to kill brown people in gaza. Not to mention all the brown people she fed to the private prison industry.

As a good liberal, you probably think of brown people as human as long as they're rich and american

I would have preferred the symbolic victory of a black woman.

This is why DEI is getting bitchslapped the fuck off.

I think we need to go with the Zelensky model (comedian-turned-politician) rather than Zelensky proper. My money's on Jon Stewart and/or Bill Burr.

Dude, just say "not AOC."

Like Harris was steered.

I get a jimmy carter vibe from him. Hopefully I am wrong.

while this is true, it would still be a total loss to run him

Even North Korea has elections. They might not be fair but they will be held.

Finally. Now you idiots can stop astroturfing the place.

kamala isn't right wing, at best she's a centrist, realistically a left leaning lib.

I'm the opposite. I know that snappy comebacks on live stages are not what make a presidency great. Even if someone can't give immediate responses in a debate, I can respect them if they display anger and passion when appropriate, and reason and negotiation when that's appropriate. You might be overestimating that a president needs to be an image of perfection all the time to every single person, when our current one survived conviction as a sex offender.

For wast majority of Americans capitalist Harris is actually rapid communist comrade Harris. For significant majority of registered voters her existence is a rampant leftist propane and seven steps too far.
USians are firmly on the rigth, and unless you fix that, all your exciting candidates will achieve jack shit.
