His bit about reproachement with nk and Iran is so fucking funny. A beautiful mind

The first half of Trump's Ukraine take I thought he might actually pull off the Nixon dove strat but he did fumble on the follow up. Also from the perspective of lib friends, when he went of about casualty numbers being higher in reality it was fine but as soon as he went into "millions and millions and maybe even more" territory it jolted people out.

Like Harris is really leaving the lane open for trump to paint himself as a dove but he cannot stay on message.

I always believed fascist would have to much ick factor aesthetically for liberals to fully embrace it. Seeing the baying crowd at the dnc and the way the delegates mocked protestors outside was one the most chilling thing I've seen.

I mean when he went to protests of the dnc there were constantly people coming up to him saying he opened their eyes or radicalized them. He seems to be doing more than just grifting idk

I thing your misreading my pessimism for America as optimism of walz. Shit is dire we are commiting genocide in broad daylight. I had never been more doomer than I was before Biden dropped out for context.

On his record as governor this is gonna prob come off as dumb wonk shit. Like you can point to his lt governor pushing him left but like he is championing these things publicly everywhere rather than shying away like every other dem. Look at Shapiro fighting his own party on things like school privatisation. I don't really see any evidence he doesn't believe this stuff. Even if he doesn't believe it I think we should be pushing his selection bc he can beade to compromise. I think the biggest reason to shit on lesser evil voting is the lesser evil in America is always someone who can't be pushed, it's useless. Walz, who will be president of a split Senate if the Dems can hold onto their 50 seats, I, yea maybe optimistic w/e, looks like he can be pushed.

On a more general sense the Dems not picking someone on the far right of the part is just such a shock to me personally idk.

I really don't think I'm trying to shit on them I apologized bc Im a hexbear poster, I come off as condescending when I don't mean to be.

My objection is the non stop pooping on people that are celebrating the Dems not picking aipacs favorite in Shapiro or some demon like buttigeg.

I'm not saying walz is breaking the mold of an American politician on this stuff, it is actually just a fresh of breath of fresh air compared to the zealotry of Biden and Trump and w/e. Like I pushed for walz among my lib friends who like people like buttigeg and shapiro bc their political media diet is like seeing a soundbite of a bog standard dem being like "isn't crazy?". I'm not voting for them, I kinda like that they picked someone who didn't really compromise on things like lgbt legislation when he had a super slim majority as governor. I like that he was RELATIVELY dovish in Congress, voted against intervention in syria and against us aiding Saudis in Yemen ect. I'm not delusional and thing he is a brave anti imperialist. it literally the best that can happen in the imperial core.

It just feels like people are projecting everything that comes with living in the imperial core onto him. Please tell me if I'm off base.

Have you like deluded yourself you were about to lead a revolution? You are non stop posting about the national guard cracking down. You live in the American police state that's what happens. I don't think walz is some based hero or some dumbass shit he is just a compromise. I just don't understand the point you are even trying to make.

Edit: I don't mean to come off agro if I did

Ehhhh it's a union event. The reason they all coalesced so quickly is because she is backed by America's biggest unions to a even greater extent than Biden.

There are interviews with his former classmates about him being a lone conservative. Not enough out there to make conclusions. Also thinking back to hinkley you don't need a robust ideological framework to do an assassination.
