Tim Walz says ‘we wouldn’t be in this mess’ if it wasn’t for him and Harris

www.huffpost.com Tim Walz Says 'We Wouldn't Be In This Mess' If It Wasn't For Him And Harris

The former vice presidential nominee offered a blunt mea culpa on MSNBC.

Summary

Former vice presidential nominee Tim Walz criticized Trump for economic chaos while taking personal responsibility for the situation during an MSNBC interview.

"We wouldn't be in this mess if we'd have won the election — and we didn't," Walz told Chris Hayes. He called Trump the "worst possible business executive" and praised the Wall Street Journal's editorial criticizing Trump's tariff war.

Walz emphasized Democrats must offer something better, not just criticize Trump. Recently, he acknowledged a leadership void in the Democratic Party and admitted spending too much time combatting Trump's false claims about immigrants.

It wasn’t really Tim’s fault. I will never understand why Kamala decided it was more important to try to court Republicans than get Democrats excited. Democrats, and I know this will be a big surprise to Democratic leadership, don’t want to vote for conservatives.

I just want a candidate who calls out the fleecing of the American people to the benefit of the 1%.
To stop breaking everyone down to this or that identity. The Repugnacans are doing a great job of making this look like it's about identity politics and the Dems keep taking the bait. It's not. It's about money and power. They are happy to throw red meat in the pit and walk off all the richer while we squabble.

She's a genocidal cop (aka prosecutor). She has literally spent her whole life opposing leftism. Ofc she campaigns to/with republicans.

Environmental Policies	Proposed a $10 trillion plan to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045, opposed fracking[2].	Advocated for aggressive climate action, exceeding even the Green New Deal.
Healthcare	Co-sponsored "Medicare for All," initially supported eliminating private insurance but later moderated[8].	Strongly left-leaning, though moderated stance on private insurance.
Housing	Introduced the "Housing Is Infrastructure Act" to invest $100 billion in housing, focusing on public units[2].	Robust support for affordable housing and public infrastructure investment.

And yet she talked about her glock while kids were seeing more school shootings than ever, went hard againt immigrants, silenced Palestinian voices, supported the genocide, and said she couldnt think of a single thing she'd do differently than Joe Biden. She ran a campaign practicaly designed to lose.
