Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

MODERATORS
How about someone good?
The things Walz has accomplished in his time in Minnesota is actually remarkable, especially given Minnesota's traditionally libertarian/purple local politics.
Literally the only attack Republicans in Minnesota have is his handling of the George Floyd protests and his COVID response, and those are weak and they know it.
Under him we here in Minnesota got dozens of extremely progressive policies put though, our social programs have dramatically expanded and are extremely well funded, corruption has been rooted out, and our economy is booming. The Minnesota DFL under his leadership have gained a ton of ground as well, where nationally the DNC has given up a ton.
No, he isn't a great orator or debater. But as a politician and policy maker he's a rare combination of progressive, well respected, and effective.
What does progressive really mean?
Progressive at this point means anyone who isn't a center-right Democrat.
Like?
Tulsi Gabbard would have won vs Trump in 2024, had the DNC let her run, I guarantee it. Just one example.
If the Democrats had only chosen to nominate Donald Trump, they would've won too.
This kind of thinking is exactly why you have Trump. You can't except a moderate, so you get an extremist, sometimes it's not your extremist.
Tulsi is complete shit who nobody likes outside of her little fanclub/cult. She would not have won and even if she had she's barely any better than Trump, and possibly worse. She's an opportunistic right-wing shill who says whatever's politically advantageous to advance her own career.
Your opinions are wrong and I'll prove it to you: Trump is president.
Yeah, because the Dems ran a "moderate" like you wanted. You just didn't get your particular shitty opportunist cult leader.
Trump being president in no way proves either of the points of
Tulsi not being dogshit and just as bad as Trump
Tulsi actually being able to win
Typical Tulcel deflecting all criticism back to "Dems bad" no matter what the criticism is or where it's coming from.
You're not convincing me.
I'm not trying to.
