Wow, that's crazy a VP candidate for one of the two parties is actually saying this.
Respect.
I want Walz as president.
There's a joke here somewhere, but you get a visit from the secret service if you say it...
I don't follow your meaning
Tim Walz will become president if Kamala is elected and later dies.
Given that she is relatively young and apparently healthy, and the US has a gun situation... the most likely cause of death would be a shooting.
Joking about killing a president gets you a serious talking to by the secret service.
Yeah, it's not really a joke. Hence the confusion
what's really crazy is thinking this anything other than absolute fluff that will never even be gestured at if they win
It's pretty obvious they won't go anywhere near it while in office. But even just saying it is a step in the right direction.
We need to have much, much higher standards for our politicians than this.
If the only thing you want is everything right now, you're going to be very disappointed your entire life.
If the only thing you demand is empty platitudes, you can expect a lot of those and not much else.
Aren't you away from your hive mind pack?
"if you expect anything good to ever happen you are brainwashed"
You are from hexbear. So I understand why you have no understanding of what nuance is, and how it applies to real life.
Ok, then use your huge brain and actually explain to me why you think I'm wrong.
I already did. You're too dense to accept it.
Literally in what comment? The one where you said this statement obviously won't achieve anything or the one where you said expecting more than that means I won't get anything? Like, you already acknowledged we won't get anything here, but somehow that's my fault for saying that's bad?
I'm not going to go around in circles with you on something this simple. Enjoy your evening.
You are incapable of providing an explanation because liberalism is an incoherent and contradictory belief system. If you were remotely serious you'd take one minute to clarify what you were trying to say (as I have repeatedly asked), but as a white supremacist liberal you are inherently unserious. When pressed to justify a single belief or statement, you have nothing but "you are too stupid to understand" - exactly the typical smug liberal mindset. You cannot elaborate because there is nothing for you to elaborate on.

How many times do you people need to be duped by this bullshit before you finally learn?
Oh there it is, a worker bear followed someone from their hive for backup
We all see the same threads and are free to comment. That's how federation works. If you say something remarkably stupid your comment might end up in The Dunk Tank, and then yeah, you will get a lot of people coming over to make fun of you. I'm afraid in this case your comments just aren't that remarkable. I'm just responding to you as a browse the thread.
My question still stands though. How many times are you going to believe the shit falling out of these ghouls' mouths? Will you ever stop believing, or will your credulity never faulter, even as your quality of life plummets to protect the political status quo?

No way. Is that a pig pooping on its own balls? There might be hope for you yet.
This isn't your fucking instance either

VP doesn't really have any power to enact things like that so yeah
