i gotta admit, i was selling Walz short
the choice has grown on me quite a bit
I have read suggestions also - which make sense, but hey, confirmation bias alert - that Shapiro can do more good in Pennsylvania (over the next three months) as the governor than as a campaigning candidate.
it absolutely makes sense
but, i’ve also come around to Walz regardless of Shapiro. Pete woulda still been my choice, but Walz is a close second
there’s a whole lot about him (and his legislative record) that i was previously unaware of that i really, really like…specifically how his view on gun rights has changed, and the related actions he’s taken
he reeks of integrity (not that Shapiro doesn’t)
I also did not know how high-energy Walz is.
And just how effective a communicator he is - as Lawrence O'Donnell pointed out well on his show last night, Walz managed in one sound bite to remind voters of BOTH (1) the drop in violent crime rate under Biden/Harris as compared with Trump, and (2) Trump's own criminality.

Whoa! This! In support of Walz:
NSFW!
...I can hear the eyeballs rolling around in your head and the groaning "Oh no, not another White guy"...
Angry #veteran rants in truck about Tim Walz and liberals!

That's also false. Nice.

I have seen several of his videos now and have enjoyed every one of them. Lots of great info about Walz's background and history in there. I hope more of it gets pumped out to the general voting public over the next few months.

Ironically Project 2025 has a chapter on how the GOP wants to accomplish this.

Mich is a stallion, and a stallion must run free!
Therefore, he mustn't be encumbered by arcane concepts like facts, and reality.

In the few rants of his I've seen, he really brings it. I have to stop and look at him again, just to make sure it's someone with his appearance that's laying the beating down, from that pov.
His family must be so embarrassed.

It’s really quite striking, how poorly we’ve reacted to the rapid democratization of information (supercomputers in our dang pockets!).

The ancient Greeks knew when they saw it, also, that certain gods were pissed at them or fighting with each other.

Sometimes I wonder if we’ll look back and think of Napster as some high water mark for democratization of information

This is the type of guy who would taunt kids in school and then when punched for doing it - would go running to the Principal and cry about it.
