Yep. Walz was a win and if the DNC was actually about it, they’d back him in the next primary and pair him with a firebrand Texan (or other southern native) while letting them do their thing.

Big IF though…

Haha maybe not my choice since his appeal is very focused to one group but maybe that’s a good thing? Would draw the young vote out at least. And we now know scandals aren’t something that affect eligibility.

Either way, def time to find someone who grabs attention. Even the governator served two terms as an R in California (and wasn't the worst all things considered)

Ideally someone who could court the rural vote… but most famous dudes of that nature are staunch GOP

They want President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho

Nah you’re completely right. The appeal was that he’d push past the usual ineffectualness of politics and get things done.

Bumble through the red tape too quickly for consequences to catch him while claiming everything as a win.

The warping of reality hides what he’s actually doing/who he is and too many people are just red team vs blue now so will keep on supporting. They’ll think a win for him is a win for them and won’t look further to think otherwise (because who wants to think they’ve lost?).

Almost wish Biden would’ve gone full Mr. Bean and just oopsied his way through using executive power. Oops, forgave student loans. Oops, taxed the rich. Oops, legal weed. Trump already showed the system is too slow to stop it and doing things that actually helped folks would be disastrous for any group trying to undo it once people felt the effects. Oh well..

I’m aware. That’s why I say the less inclined. Gotta ask ourselves how many are actually reading the booklet or even taking more than 5 seconds to process the ballot blurb.

Google is also right at everyone’s fingertips yet misinformation is still prevalent everywhere. Some people are just stupid.

Unfortunately, there are lots of them.

Don’t think it has to explicitly be a shitty person but the Left definitely needs to realize it’s a popularity contest. Charisma and moxie win it cuz voters want it simple.

Look how FDR swept Hoover. Went around promising Happy Days are Here Again and he’ll whip the government into fixing the individual’s problems. Blasted his aura on the radio and newsreels which kept voters’ eyes on him. Then kept them for 3 more terms by saying fuck the red tape and making tangible things happen (which is probably what drives people to Trump despite the different results)

People want to back the cool guy who tells em it’ll be alright. Simple as

The Arguments section is unfortunately left out on actual ballots. I could see a lot of the less research-inclined citizens interpret that as simple community service and not straight up indentured servitude.

Unfortunately, most things can be attributed to stupidity rather than malice. Had they put the word slavery on the ballots I’d hope we’d see a better split

Thinking the same for KCP. He’s responsible for a lot of the clutch momentum changes with the defensive dirty work he puts in and his shooting. His loss is still felt on the Lakers and Denver gonna experience the same.

A real 3&D player with a lil extra in the bag which is a must for championship teams
