I'd vote for him but he'd need to ignore the consultants next time if he wants any hope of winning.
Personally, I'm hoping Zelensky will run for US president after strong Dien in Ukraine. You might be thinking that someone from another country can't be president. Well.... looks at current situation in White House At least this one would be elected.
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.
Burr would be a good choice. I hate to lean hard into identity politics here, but a blue collar aesthetic cishet white guy seems to have a better chance of winning so long as he's progressive.
Dems have been thinking of it backwards. The center wants vibes, the left wants policies.
Hopefully this time they don't muzzle him. Tim's a great example of dem policies working,
Can you please just fucking not
We need someone who is actually going to make some changes, not another return to a milque toast centre right 70 year old white dude
Except, before the DNC reeled him in with kamala's campaign, he regularly had excellent policy and progressive stances that would shake the middlest of middle right Dems. Things like free school lunches and gender affirming care and reproductive health care protections from the federal government. I would take him over Kamala any day to be quite honest.
Would have wanted him as president nominee either way, hope he gets it. The name Tim Walz is a name that needs to go down in history with the title "saviour of the US" or smth like that
"Run for president in 2028" XD That ship has sailed. I don't think they will have any more elections.
Even North Korea has elections. They might not be fair but they will be held.
I guess I’m the only one against this idea. I’m not keen on candidates that have already lost running again. Get someone else up there to try.
Ehh, nixing peoples' chances because of a failed run doesn't really lead to better candidates IMO. You can only learn so much from others' mistakes. Beyond that, his part was really second fiddle to Candidate Harris's campaign.
He lost a VP bid. That's different.
Please do it
It's cute that they think there's gonna be another election.
Oh yes, please, older people, maybe I'll have my late great grandma run a campaign for the democrats from her grave.
Edit: not that I prefer a republican after trump. I'm certainly not far right. But I'm tired of seeing running leaders being this old. Can you americans get AOC to run for once?
She only just became eligible.
wha? I thought it was known that walz was actually pretty young (60) compared to how he looks lol. Definitely on the older side of average age for president looking at the stats, but he's 2 years younger than jon stewart and even gavin newsom is 57.
Tim Walz unleashed would have won this.
He was hamstrug by Harris. He’s likely the dem’s best choice for 2028.
So of course they’ll run Newsome or Shapiro or Hillary Clinton again because they’re a bunch of idiots.
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.
I think he hunts himself. Didn’t he say that during the campaign with Harris?
Running Hillary again
The fact that this is somewhat believable is so stupid
