Yeah Waltz is a great speaker. But I fear he may only double down on Harris’ strengths and won’t be reassuring on the economy or inmigration, key issues this election.
Hope I’m wrong.

The only thing i might worry about is, Russian doctrine allows the use of nukes if the country itself is attacked. And this time they could consider it an invasion by Ukraine instead of just missile and drone strikes.

Since I’m responding with graphs, I’ll just save space by linking to previous posts o’ mine instead of doing a giant single post.
I don’t want 12 dollar eggs.
As I understand Trump only caused conflicts but didn’t start a war.
Ukraine and Isreal Happened under Bidens leadership.
Ukraine’s invasion happened because Trump wasn’t around to just hand him the country, like he did everything else. Sure enough Trump has been blasting at rallies for years now that when he gets back into office he’ll pull out of NATO and leave Ukraine high and dry so his Vladdy Daddy can go conquer his neighbors. Probably start a world war or 2 while he’s at it, Trump doesn’t care.
As for Israel, Oct 7 was the culmination of many things but Trump moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem despite every one of his advisors and leaders around the world telling him that would just piss off and increase tensions between Israel and Palestine was one of the last straws. Of course Trump is happy to blame Biden for his fuckups happening after he was given the boot, just like Trump putting the withdrawal of the US out of Afghanistan on a timeframe that makes it happen under Biden, he’s glad to shit the bed and then blame the next person to sleep in it.

Okay so to sum up based on what I’ve seen so far this election.
Democrats in 2016 and 2020: “They go low, we go high.”
Democrats in 2024 after Harris took the wheel: “They go low, we (rhetorically) kick their fucking teeth in.”

I’ve seen it best described that the Republican party which supports Dear Leader no longer abides by the social contract that stipulates mutual respect and as a result are fair game for the same kind of low blows we’ve come to expect from MAGA.
It’s okay to be intolerant of the intolerant, and when they go “SO MUCH FOR THE TOLERANT LEFT”, you fucking kick their fascist teeth in.

  1. He got involved in politics after being barred from a George W. Bush rally. In 2004, when he was still a teacher, he accompanied students to the rally and objected when, in his telling, they were denied entrance for having volunteered for Democrats.
  1. He was an early supporter of gay rights. At Mankato West High School in Minnesota in the 1990s, he sponsored a gay-straight alliance and has said it was important at that time for the sponsor to be “the football coach, who was the soldier and was straight and was married.” When he won his House seat in 2006 in a conservative district, he ran on support for same-sex marriage.
  1. He is a gun owner and hunts pheasants and turkeys. He introduced a “Governor’s Turkey Hunting Opener” to kick off the turkey hunting season in Minnesota and runs a similar event for the pheasant hunting season. “I guarantee you he can’t shoot pheasants like I can,” he said on CNN of Vance.
  1. He and his wife had their two children through in vitro fertilization. It took seven years of fertility treatments for them to have their daughter, whom they named Hope. Walz spoke about the experience publicly after an Alabama Supreme Court ruling this year upended IVF treatment there.
  1. He doesn’t drink after a DWI in 1995. Walz has said he stopped drinking alcohol after he was pulled over for speeding in 1995 and failed a sobriety test. His wife told him at the time: “You have obligations to people. You can’t make dumb choices.”
  1. He also does not drink coffee. He prefers Diet Mountain Dew. As does his Republican counterpart.
Science hasn’t invented numbers high enough to represent the number of states he and Harris will sweep.

Cori Bush has lost a primary challenge from the right backed by millions in pro-Israel group spending. Results are still coming in, but NBC’s projection has her losing by a margin of about 5.5 points or so.

Walz has a postive approval rating nationally according to snap polls. He’s still somewhat unknown, but most people seem to have a postive opinion of him.
And that word, btw, is important. Dems are running a “positive” campaign. People are smiling, joking, playing good music, looking forward hopefully. All while not (for once) pulling any punches.
The absolute opposite of what the Republicans are trying to run.
I, for the first time in a long time, am legitimately impressed with the Democratic Party.

Dems need to get back to their working class roots while also maintaining their growing hold on the suburbs.
If they get that balancing act right, they’ll be pretty much unstoppable.
They have to start realizing that their policies are popular, it’s their marketing that has sucked.
No one is going to be upset about higher wages, more rights, less war, and a clean environment. But they’ve done such a piss poor job of actually advocating and selling that to the working people.

Tangentially related due to the circumstances. Founder and owner of Fur Affinity Dragoneer died yesterday due to an as of yet unknown illness - though some think it was lung cancer. He was struggling to afford access to medical care, and was on the hook for over $25,000 and counting by the time of his death. And then he was denied financial aid for being “uncooperative” because he was too sick to physically come in to speak with the UVA hospital’s billing department.
His final string of posts to social media are painful to say the least. All courtesy of our private, for-profit healthcare he was priced out of. As he posted four hours prior to his death: “Trying not to die in America is expensive.”

UVA in particular has a notorious reputation of being fickle and hard to deal with.
If he was a local I’m curious why he didn’t try to go with Carllion. They’re a bit of a pain too, but they have a pretty good billing department and lots of repayment options.
Unless his illness was outside their scope and they needed a specialist that only UVA had.

My guess is it needed specialists. Another one of his posts was talking about being charged $1,600 up-front just to speak with a pulmonologist. He had also either just had or was scheduled to have a lung biopsy.

Lung cancer can move incredibly rapidly.
The cells in the lungs replicate rapidly to keep up with environmental damages, and they are extremely fragile.
What normally kills folk is the runaway immune response causing too much damage on the lungs, resulting in them filling will fluid and dead tissue.

Trump is inadvertently selling Walz hard to the youth vote.
“Nobody knew how radical left she was,” Trump continued, referring to Harris. “But he’s a smarter version of her, if you want to know the truth. He’s probably about the same as Bernie Sanders. He’s probably more so than Bernie Sanders.”
Yes, compare him to an extremely popular independent senator who routinely gets praise and accolades from the now largest voting generation and the two newest ones.
That’s a winning strategy right there.
